"Whip Bang" is the twenty-fourth track, fourth hidden track, and final track of the album Free Flight Thru the Universe of Sound by Southern Fried Swing. The first 2 lines of the recording are actually the beginning of a now lost early demo song by Patrick Wilson that was intentionally taped over on the master 4 track, designating it as the beginning of "Whip Bang" from that point onward.

Lyrics

!!! = Purposeful gibberish

I've no money and I need to eat
These CD's just don't sound as sweet

Oh man, I want to meet that man
Whip Bang, I've got to meet that man

Oh man, I want to meet that man
He wields instruments like nobody can
La la la la la la

I told this love we're dying

He can show me things I've never seen
I would like to be his, dressed in green
I'm his queen, but he's my man
I don't want him to understand me anymore, anymore

From the stench,
I'm coming back to you again
From the stench, comes a man who doesn't understand
Why he smells the way he does

What?

Take me away to the place that I want to go
I have many instruments there and nobody can ever know
I have diagrams to let you know

Ouch! You're hurting my behind

Building blocks for the common man

Bringing me closer to the ways that he works
I have many things I can show him, even though
This man is a Turk, this man is a Turk,
This man is a Turk, this man is a Turk,
This man's from Turkey, he possesses the gold key

And nothing I can say to him
Will let that key go
It needs to be free
Ow! Ow!

My food is good, but it tastes like wood, again
Won't you help me understand why I-

Oh no, oh no
I've loved Queensrÿche before
But they won't satisfy me anymore
Here come-

It doesn't matter how many times
I've planted those seeds
It doesn't matter how many times
I've planted those seeds

I used this shovel, it wasn't nice
It smelled real bad and it looked real bad

You haven't filled out your forms correctly, again
I must send you back to that place
You haven't filled out your forms correctly, again

Finger, finger

The ball bearing factory has closed down for Spring
No one can get all the things they thought they bring
I'm not sure why they need to go and sing
I need to sing, I need to sing
I need to sing, I need to sing
Aah!

!!!

The assembly line isn't working quite yet
I don't know why, but I'd like to make a bet
It won't be happening by this time next year

The spring water won't ever be good again
It's tainted with my evil ways and stenches
???, hell yeah
I made it bad, I made it real bad
I put something in the water, ???

Then we put the problems on the driveway
And I cut it up with a fork
After that, it was really bad,
And I didn't know what to do
And I played my guitar all day
Until it was all done
