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's thesis: 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 /music/#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-rotation Munich receipt 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 /press/#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 carries the EP's seed into the larger LP alongside reworked If I Could Only and Debby (Extended). Opposite energy from A Good Life on MMM: bottled grin versus earnest mantra.
