about

I remember coming up my staircase to my studio and the line die, die Diana coming to me in an instant. I quickly laid down the demo and liked what I heard upon playback. However, when I re-listened over the next couple of days, I realized it was too similar to some of my other tunes. I needed to put more effort into it as I believed the song could be, and deserved to be, really great. This extra effort and energy made it even more goofy, interesting and fun.

lyrics

Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana please

Well everyone's waiting
To see what she brings
As she hurries herself home for fools

No one can contain
What is ill in her brain
Or to know what
She’s keeping from you

Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana

It’d be easy as cake
I mean to eat one not make
Feathered birds flying high all around
Ka, ka, coo!

Simply divine tasting frosting is fine
While wearing a Kennedy crown

Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana please

Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana please

And if you won’t die
I will wait then
And try to see you

And if you can’t die
And it isn’t a lie
I’ll believe you

But if somewhere you
Happen to mention at all
That you prefer frosting and fudge flavours
All of the time
Time, time, time, time
Time, time, time, time

Will you bend for the break
Of the maniac man
Holding 100 poison jelly beans in his hand
It’s for real
Diana it’s real

Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana please

Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana
Die, die Diana please
