I Need a New Wheel is a song from the April 2012 showtape. It is a parody of the 1985 song "Head Over Heels" by Tears for Fears.
The song was later reused for the First Quarter 2013 Show, with Chuck E.'s lines being recorded by Jaret Reddick.
Lyrics[]
Chuck E.: I wanted to go riding my bike
Outside there was nice weather
Down at the park, the bike trails put a smile on my face
If I could, I'd ride forever
There'll be people, laughing couples walking hand-in-hand,
Today could not be better
Now, why is there a hissing coming out from my wheel?
Oh no, I, I've got a flat tire!
My bike is broken and I need a new wheel,
So I can go out riding over the hills
My bike is broken and I need a new wheel,
Oh, I am so bummed, my bike is done,
Now what am I gonna do?!
Jasper: I opened up a bike shop so that I can help out
Those who want to go riding
I have not had a customer, all I need is one
No, no, no, this is such a bummer!
My mother and my father told me medical school
Aw man, why didn't I listen?
What's that, I see a mouse who's got some needs for his bike
Oh yeah, I'll fix it up for him!
His bike is broken, and he needs a new wheel
So he can go out riding over the hills
I'll fix it up for him, yeah, I'll give him a deal
His bike, oh man, made a new friend
Oh, what a wonderful day!
Helen, Munch, and Jasper: La-la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la-la (repeated until end)
Chuck E.: I'm riding up, and then I see
Pasqually: (singing opera-like; repeated until end)
Chuck E.: We're best friends riding bikes
Come join us on... a bike ride
We're best friends riding bikes
Come join us on...
A bike... ride...
