about

1970's influenced rock n' roll song with absurd lyric how "Mr Rock n' Roll" can save the world (some people actually thought that in the '60's). Cute and horribly inaccurate , superheroes only exist in overblown big budget mindless extravaganzas as you well know. Recorded in 2004.

lyrics

Mr Rock n' Roll Part 1 29/06/04

I was gurgitatin' just the other day
y'know there has to be a better way
watch the world spiral out of control
maybe it's time to call out Mr Rock n' Roll

Now everyone round here's gotta gun
they like their bang-bang chicken when the turkey's on the run
there ain't no great demand for snide remarks
n' I don't wanna toss next door's poodle to the sharks
if yo' got that boogie deep down in yo' soul
n' you need some traction call out Mr Rock n' Roll

You should never mix politics with sex
coz it'll turn n' bite yo' ass when you least expect
so keep that teepee clean n' hide yo' bizo in a sack
when the Devil comes a'callin' you can send the sucker back

Don't mind his phrasin', him purple hazin'
he so goddam funky his footsteps self erasin'
he got Captain Kirk's phaser set on stun
jus' one notch down from the heat of the sun
an' if that demon's bitin' down on your bowl
that's the time you need a certain Mr Rock n' Roll

You gotta put back what you never put in
go preach that in a sermon in your motel of sin
maybe it's time to show some remorse
it's never too late to let nature take it's course

He come out blazin', him crystal gazin'
he so goddam funky his footsteps self erasin'
he got Captain Kirk's phaser set on stun
jus' one notch down from the heat of the sun
so if that Quasimojo's takin' it's toll
that's the invocation dial-up summon Mr Rock n' Roll

So if yo' skint coz yo' been on the dole
play yo' guitar n' summon Mr Rock n' Roll
beep beep, beep beep yeah
