[Intro]
Hey! What do you say
(We tie one on)
Come on!

[Verse 1]
Did you see
(That shirt and tie)
I mean… holy!
(God! Why, oh, why)

[Chorus]
Hey! What do you say
(We tie one on)
Come on!
(Walk this way)

[Bridge]
That tie is loud!
A little too proud
(A little too loud)

[Verse 2]
Ostentatious
(And disastrous)
Screaming neon
(And, on and on and on)

[Chorus]
Hey! What do you say
(We tie one on)
Come on!
(Walk this way)

[Bridge]
That tie is loud!
A little too proud
(And way, way too loud)

[Chorus]
Hey! What do you say
(We tie one on)
Come on!
(Walk this way)

[Outro]
And, the price you’ll pay…
That tie is loud!
(And ridiculously proud)
Hubris
(Meet Nemesis)
Time for that tie
(To say bye-bye)

ABOUT THE SONG

In the context of clothing, the adjective “loud” is a figurative term used to describe items that are unpleasantly bright, gaudy, or have a garish, conspicuous pattern.

The tie described as “loud” would likely be:

Highly noticeable due to very bright colors (like a screaming neon yellow or orange) or large, bold patterns.
Ostentatious or showy, demanding attention in a way that might be considered an attempt to shock or stand out.
Distracting, potentially taking attention away from the wearer and the rest of their outfit.

The word is used as a metaphor, as such a tie “demands attention” in the same way a loud sound would. While the term often carries a negative or disapproving connotation, implying a lack of taste or subtlety, in some modern fashion contexts (like “loud fashion”), it can be used positively to describe a bold, expressive, and confident style.
