Lyrics
Today I got a skip in my step Then I find I'm tripping on a banana Banana I dust off and skip along I got a good thing going on Marijuana Named Obama OG I can't imagine feeling better than I do right now Can't imagine feeling better than I do right now Today I'm gonna take the view Best dream I ever knew Ride a llama Dalai lama We ride through the seven seas His holiness and me Getting karma Knowing dharma Born new I can't imagine feeling better than I do right now Can't imagine feeling better than I do right now Yeah I can't imagine feeling better than I do right now Yeah I can't imagine feeling better than I do right now Can't imagine feeling better than I do right now I can't imagine feeling better than I do right now I can't imagine feeling better I can't imagine feeling better Better better better

Track eight on Little Hug (April 2021), also on Big Hug (October 2021), as a standalone single, and on Live from the Void. Luke solo. The title is the EP in one line: not fine, but right now, impossibly, yes.
The joy is built entirely from cartoon resilience and nonsense. Verse one trips over a banana and gets up grinning, helped along by weed named Obama OG; verse two saddles up for a pilgrimage with the Dalai Lama (we ride through the seven seas / getting karma knowing dharma born new). Not Buddhism homework, just spiritual fan-fiction. Between them the hook stacks until it overflows into better better better, the grin pushed past the point of credibility, which is the joke and also the point after a pandemic record.
Official music video on YouTube, also on Selected Videos.
egoFM rotation: Climbed egoFM's weekly ego 42 chart from #10 (Mar 13, 2021) to #8 (Apr 3, 2021). On November 24, 2023, egoFM published its 15-year Top 1,000 most-played songs: Scoobert Doobert listed as #654 (Cant Imagine Feeling Better Like This), between Radiohead: Jigsaw Falling Into Place (#653) and Aim feat. YZ (#655). Long-running Munich rotation beyond the weekly chart Instagram posts.
Coors Light (TV, Canada): Mike Ladman placed the track while at Droga5: music supervision for the brand's summer Canada TV campaign. @beformer announced the placement August 25, 2022, crediting Droga5. Ladman later joined Love Music More for Going To Air with Mike Ladman (Droga5, McCann). See Sync.
On Little Hug it sits between I'm Addicted to Baths and I Am a Lobster, I Am a Barnacle; on Big Hug it returns alongside reworked If I Could Only and Debby (Extended). Opposite energy from A Good Life on MMM: bottled grin versus earnest mantra.
