Speedy Delivery: A Weekly Song Editorial

Opposites (Cuz'n Jake) Attract



Click to Listen

While Cuz and I have our differences, we've never been ashamed to show undying and unconditional platonic love for one another. With the gay marriage debate back on the radar, we thought we'd address the issue by revealing the musical marriage we've shared as we unite in lyrical genius. We only pray that the law never takes away our right to join in matrimonious songwriting union.

You can see Cuz'n Jake live only ONCE per year. That chance takes place this Saturday, June 17th at 7pm at the Southgate House in Newport, KY at the 5th Annual RIVERTOWN BREAKDOWN. Find out about the other 17 bands at this Roots Music Fest by visiting http://www.rivertownbreakdown.com.

Opposites (Cuz'n Jake) Attract
By: Chris "Cuz" Cusentino & Jake "Jake" Speed

Cuz: I like Will
Jake: I like grace
Cuz: I like wearing leather
Jake: I like wearing lace

Cuz: I have a beard
Jake: I have a soul patch
Jake: My hair's combed
Cuz: Mine's got naps

Jake: I drink beer
Cuz: Me, I'm dry
Jake: I like it sautéed
Cuz: I like it deep fried

My name's Jake
My name's Cuz
If opposites attract
Then we're in love

Chorus: We're in love, we're in love
My name's Jake, My name's Cuz
We're in love, we're in love
if opposites attract then we're in love

I like Star Wars
Star Trek rocks
I like Captain Kirk
I like Chewbacca

I am single
I have a wife
I chat on Myspace
I have a life

I watch Survivor
I watch Lost
I like keeping secrets
I like getting caught

Chorus:


I like Madonna
I like Cher
I like Colby-Jack
I like Camembert

I like whole milk
I like skim
I eat Tofu
I like slim-jims


I like Godzilla
I like King Kong
I like ketchup
I like grey poupon

If there's anyone who could be called the "Woody Guthrie of Cincinnati," it's folksinger Jake Speed. Speed is again making moves that would do Woody proud. Speed's "songitorials" are weekly songs about current events. Think of it as a singing editorial with a healthy dose of wit and humanity. Each week, Speed will unveil a new song, dealing with different social issues of the day in much the way Guthrie's "Woody Sez" column once did.
