I sent Zoltan my tracks and he redid everything from scratch except the guitars... which I really wanted to hear him sing this... I really like Zoltan's vocals... and they are great to me on this... but he is fun and clever with lyrics and really good at production.  He really understands how to get the bottom end big without being boomy etc... so he can say what he did exactly but I really like his choir add and the horn thing...
in the end of the whole thing I should have only used 1 of the two leads I did instead of both.. but there is something tempting in that.  My brain fires differently than most I think... but it could be too much also..
anyway...

You say it like that's a shock
That old people can rock
You can call me gramps
And i can kick your ass

I was born with a gift
Turns out i just forgot it
I once met a lion
I took it down with a tire iron

CH:
You're just a bunch of silly little boys
Falling down like a bag of toys
A little bit of hardship
And you're crying in your rug
that's why old people do rock

When i was a boy
The earth was still flat
The dinosaurs ruled supreme
I was a king with a queen

While you were still wearing diapers
Looks like you're still wearing one too
I once met a lion
I took down with a tire iron

CH:
You're just a bunch of silly little boys
Falling down like a bag of toys
A little bit of hardship
And you're crying in your rug
that's why old people do rock

Actually it happened like this: Stephen accidentally used a wrong power adaptor with the Digitech Trio and it started sputtering all this nonsense!

I just hope he didn't break the Trio for good...

Life is not about the number of Breathes you take, it is the amount of times your breathe is taken away

Haha..what a brilliant addiction from Zoltan. Love the crazy lyrics and love that logo too.
It was a great instrumental from Stephen..love this vocal version. Some good arrangements. Like the drums and the twin solo.

Thanks for listening.

What a great clab! Much enjoyed this little rocker. Witty lyrics from Drac's dog. Love the psychedelia  on the bridge. The brass on the outro is an unusual touch.
