Biography:
Frog Eyes is an indie rock band from Victoria (British Columbia, Canada), The quartet is led by singer/guitarist Carey Mercer and is known for their highly idiosyncratic songs, which pit Mercer's unhinged, melodic vocals against a swirling mass of guitar, keyboards, and drums. Drummer Melanie Campbell (also Mercer's wife) notably uses a 'found object' as part of her drums set, the so-called "dinger." This object was only used on their first three albums and has since been disposed of in favour of a normal ride cymbal.

Four years of hard work!This month of May we celebrated four years on the air. We continue working on the dissemination of this wonderful instrument, thank you for participating in our story!
This is how I play the song, it's more of an acoustic cover. Suggestions and corrections welcome!
Of course, Carey's singing makes it a little hard to line up the chords and lyrics exactly, so I tried my best.

Oh, and I am the Bad idea,

And I am a Bad persuasion,

And dilettantes in the kitchen as everything implodes,

Reparations in the mind are a warning to run away,
G D Am
Grab a hatchet, a flashlight, and run, run away.

Oh, I am a Bad idea,
