What's that song with those words and that music?
August 3, 2011 9:14 PM   Subscribe

Song ID: It was maybe ten years ago on the "alternative" station, and was more talking than singing. I only remember a couple of words. The line that I kinda [sorta, almost] remember is something like "... she unbuttoned my fly ... it was the longest thirty seconds of my whole life."

I've been googling this on and off for the last ten years, and have failed. It's driving me nuts. Help! :p

Best answer: Here's the original song, which is pretty great...the version you remember had her brother reading "a piece of his book." (Story here.)

"It was the longest unzipping of my life" might just be the hottest line ever.

It's pretty creepy if you read House of Leaves, which the album is based on.

Technically the album and book are based on the same set of experiences, and were semi-collaboratively developed. /pedant
