Notes
  • The title certainly promises much, as does the premise of the private life intrusion of reality television. Ultimately, it slightly under-delivers, being one of Brian's Latin flavored songs (other examples being Mexican Girl and Oh Mi Amor), which are amongst the lesser of his recent opuses.
  • Having said that, it's an exceptionally catchy track, and still one that with the right promotion and video, could have hit potential. It's not a grand slam, but it's not a bunt either.
Lyrics

The private life of Bill and Sue
Can you dig what I'm telling you?
No one knows just why we care
We see their faces everywhere
The strangest story you ever knew
The private life of Bill and Sue

From California to Mexico
Everybody's just gotta know
Dallas, Texas to Monterey
Wasting time on a sunny day
Santa Barbara to Jersey Shore
At the line in the grocery store
Everybody who ever knew
The private life of Bill and Sue

The private life of Bill and Sue
The world is wondering what they do
We watch them on our TV screen
Their lives are like a movie scene
The strangest story you ever knew
The private life of Bill and Sue

From California to Mexico
Everybody's just gotta know
Dallas, Texas to Monterey
Wasting time on a sunny day
Santa Barbara to Jersey Shore
At the line in the grocery store
Everybody who ever knew
The private life of Bill and Sue

Sometimes life can be so strange
Maybe we're just looking for a change

From California to Mexico
Everybody's just gotta know
Dallas,Texas to Monterey
Wasting time on a sunny day
Santa Barbara to Jersey Shore
At the line in the grocery store
Everybody who ever knew
The private life of Bill and Sue

From California to Mexico
Everybody's just gotta know
Dallas,Texas to Monterey
Wasting time on a sunny day

Spoken like a radio broadcast
"Bill and Sue, stars of the once popular reality show,
'The private life of Bill and Sue', were reported lost
at sea today along with their camera crew while filming an
episode on vacation in Catalina Island. Skeptics speculate
that the once popular duo whose ratings have
tumbled since leaving the network actually faked their
demise..."
