In a nutshell, 3rd Alley formed in October 2004 in Mudd's home studio. It started from a 4 track demo that Zack had made and sent in to Long Beach Recs. Zack on vocals, songwriting and guitar, Tyson on bass and Mudd on Drums. We put out "After School Special" (aka. ASS) one year after the band's inception. It's been released in Japan, Europe and Australia, with all different bonus songs. Mudd was inspired by McDonald's "collect them all" campaign, which turned out to be a great idea.

Verse 1 AF# I can't believe it, I just don't understand BmE you're wearing a Tupac t-shirt but you're talking like a Ku Klux Klan AF# man, when will you get it? you used to be a friend of mine, BmE but now I know in time you'll be panhandling down on Pine,
Chorus A you dirty sponge, dirty sponge F#Bm soak up everything you can from everyone, DEDEA x2 wearing out your welcome, soon you'll have no one you're no fun, you dirty sponge
Verse 2

Verse 3 AF# I can't believe it, I just don't understand BmE you're wearing your joe-mamma t-shirt but you're talking like a Ku Klux Klan AF# man, when will you get it? you used to be a friend of mine, BmE but now I know in time you'll be panhandling down on Pine
Chorus A you dirty sponge, dirty sponge F#Bm soak up everything you can from everyone, DEDEA x2 wearing out your welcome, soon you'll have no one you're no fun, you dirty sponge
