The Official LWND Theme Song

Tonight's very special episode of Living With No Dishwasher would not be possible without the collaborative contributions of famed rock band Aerosmith and up-and-coming lyricist Doug S., who have teamed up to bring you "The Official LWND Theme Song."

Aerosmith, I assume, you're familiar with. Doug S., however, is not a household name, unless you've got a sibling or something named Doug and your last name Sampson or Smith. In that case, Doug S. is probably a fairly common name in your household. Anyhow, the Doug S. that we're concerned with channeled his inner Weird Al to write some inspirational lyrics to the tune of Aerosmith's "Love in an Elevator." Aerosmith had agreed to record the improved version of the song, but lead singer Steven Tyler fell off his bicycle or some nonsense, so they pulled out.

Instead, the LWND Emergency Response team found this rockin' midi version of the song that I think really enhances the tune by giving it a Mega Man feel. Enjoy!

The Official LWND Theme Song
Original music by Aerosmith
Original lyrics by Doug S.

Washin' like a dog for the boss man (Oh!)
Washing' for the girlfriend (Oh, yeah!)
I'm bettin' on the dishes I'm washin' (Oh!)
Gonna use Palmolive (Oh, yeah!)
But where am I gonna wash?
They tell washin's not for the blind
I really need a girl like an brillo pad
to wash 'cause I don't got time

Living with no dishwasher
Washin' it up when I'm goin' down
Living with no dishwasher
Washin' it up 'til I hit the ground

Jacki's buying a dishwasher
Home goods second floor
She said 'Can I see you later
And clean you just a little more?'
How am i gonna clean this gunk
I'll never get it out alive
She said 'I'll show ya how to remove grease stains honey
and have you home by five'

Living with no dishwasher
Washin' it up when I'm goin' down
Living with no dishwasher
Washin' it up 'til I hit the ground

Extra care, extra care, honey one more time now wash with extra care
Living with no dishwasher
Washin' it up when I'm goin' down

Living with no dishwasher
Going down

Living with no dishwasher
Washin' it up when I'm goin' down
Living with no dishwasher
Washin' it up 'til I hit the ground

Gonna wash when I'm a pauper
Gonna wash as a millionaire
I'm gonna be a real fast washer
but do it with extra care
Gotta get my washin' right
It's a test that I got to pass
I'll chase you all the way to the rinse sink, honey
Kiss your sassafras

Living with no dishwasher
Washin' it up when I'm goin' down
Living with no dishwasher
Washin' it up 'til I hit the ground

It ain't fair. It ain't fair
Honey one more time now extra care.
Living with no dishwasher
Washin' it up when I'm goin' down (x2)

In the air, in the air
Honey one, one, one, one, one more!
Living with no dishwasher
Washin' it up when I'm goin' down (x2)

Living with no dishwasher
Washin' it up when I'm goin' down (x2)

Extra care, Extra care

Living with no dishwasher
Washin' it up when I'm goin' down
