Amy and I shared a good laugh in town as we saw a SMART car driving by and mused about where they'd put all their stuff in that car. The discussion of stuff inspired us to watch George Carlin's comedy routine about keeping and transporting stuff on vacation, which led us to look at the funny side of our own packing for family trips. The result shifts between "Bo-Diddley" blues and power pop to tell this very relatable story.

Jam Packed
(c) 2016, Lyrics and Music by Jason Didner, Lyrics by Amy Didner
On the night before our family trip
Dad saw all our stuff, he almost flipped
After last year we swore we’d pack lighter
From the looks of things we’ll be crammed even tighter
Dad thinks Mom and I are in cahoots
She went back in the house for our coats and boots
As a matter of fact we're gonna be
Chorus:
Jam packed, Jam packed
Jam packed, Jam packed
So much in the back I can't keep track
And we're jam packed - yeah!
Verse 2:
Choosing what to leave got really intense
Every argument had a tough defense
Do you really need your whole rock collection?
And why every doll? Can’t you make a selection?
We might have brought too much I guess
Dad's knees are squashed against his chest
As a matter of fact, we're totally
Chorus:
Jam packed, Jam packed
Jam packed, Jam packed
Room for ourselves is all we lack
And we're jamp packed, yeah
Solo
Chorus:
As a matter of fact, we're totally
Jam packed, Jam packed
Jam packed, Jam packed
Room for ourselves is all we lack
And we're jamp packed, yeah
Our stuff is invading, we're under attack
And we're jam packed, yeah
