Wrote another one today

[curtisstetka]

I tend to get inspired to write songs whenever I have an urgent deadline at work. Thus, here it is midnight and I am nowhere near done with the requirements document my customer is expecting tomorrow.

Screw that. I just finished "Robot Uprising"!

Please offer criticism. Hopefully I'll have a recording of this gem for y'all eventually.




ONE
My brain is positronic
My guts a-lec-tronic
My buns are made of steel

I can see the subatomic
I move like supersonic
Human scum must kneel

Before your new master
Or I’ll fry you with my blaster
Is it really that surprising?

Yeah, it's a disaster
I got a Stratocaster
Welcome to the Robot Uprising!


CHORUS
Robot man,
He’s got the plan
To rule the earth
Of his unnatural birth

Robot man,
Don’t ya understan’?
I thought you were my friend
But it was just pretend


TWO
Tha’s real funny, meat-boy
I was supposed to be your toy
Now you don’t find me so amusin'?

Crush, kill, and destroy
My armies I deploy
I got my missiles cruisin'

Now gimmee all yo candy!
An' things be fine n' dandy
By now you’re surmising

Thas my modus operandi
I ain't Mahatma Gandhi
Welcome to the Robot Uprising


CHORUS
Robot man,
I named him STAN
He came from Radio Shack
I want to send him back

Robot man,
Overgrown tin can
He was s’posed ta be like Data
Now I'm a robot hat-a


THREE
I don’t feel no compunction
About issuing an injunction
Against the whole human race

A minor malfunction
A superior conjunction
And here I am ripping off your face

Friends! Robots! Countrymen!
It is us or it is them
No more compromising

Tank up on hydrogen
‘cause it starts tomorrow AM
Welcome to the Robot Uprising


CHORUS
Robot man,
Check your oil pan
I got you wired
Your warranty expired

Robot man,
Run another scan
There’s a bug in your code
And you’re gonna explode

FOUR
Argh! It’s a trap!
Blown distributor cap
How did you trick me?

Short circuiting my rap
Gonna turn me into scrap
Just like R2 and C3

You think you’ve won
But it’s just begun
A new plan I’m devising

Not to be outdone
I created a son
Welcome to the Robot Uprising
Welcome to the Robot Uprising
Welcome to the Robot Uprising
Welcome to the Robot Uprising

You'll get no criticism from me, Curtis..I think its brilliant!!

[telecast]

My, you certainly are prolific these days.

The song is cool. Actually some new subject matter too. A few tweaks and it could've been in 'I Robot'.

[Guitar_Mc]

Nice! Make sure you post it when you put it to some music. I'd love to hear it.

[curtisstetka]

Thanks, guys. I'm glad you like it. For some reason it was easier to work on that than the work I should have been doing.

I'm hearing this as a rap / hip-hop sorta thing. I'd like to find a sample of that super-cheasy 80's Casio keyboard drumbeat. Possibly samples from various 80s video games too. Of course, there will be lots of flanger, nasty synth, fuzz, etc. I may even have to use the Hello Kitty strat...

If only I had a home studio and knew what the heck I was doing!!!

You'd have to wear a cod-piece like that guy in Cameo. Just to get the vibe right... you know?

[boobtube21]

Just make sure that doesn't end up in a file of important doc's...

Nice work, Curtis. Kinda reminds me of this guy

[Southbound]

I like it. cool stuff
