Here's a song from Monster, a loud and brash record that scared off a LOT of their fans., Myself included. I still got the fan club stuff. I still bought the albums. But after seeing the Monster tour live, I didn't think this was my band anymore. It was something else. I played acoustic guitar, both 6 and 12 string, as well as ukulele. I then added bass, hand claps, claves and a guiro. Then I sang the lead vocal. To finish it off, I asked Carey Anne to sing both the additional vocals as well as some of her improvised vocals. She also added shaker and bongos. My final job was mix and video.
lyrics
Here comes that awful feeling again
Welcome the ugly animal
I hold my breath to watch you swing,
My pyro ba-ba-ball and chain,
I'm not afraid, I messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up
I've got my telescope head in the haystack
I'm getting tired of your dodgeball circus act
Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command
Here comes that awful feeling again
Make way for monster jealousy
The strong man kicked sand into my breakfast cereal bowl
I'd spelled your name with Oatios,
He messed it, messed it, messed it, messed it up
I've got my telescope head in the haystack
I am tired of your dodgeball circus act
Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command
(You're mean, mean, mean
You tease, tease, tease me)
If I were you I'd really run from me
I'd really, really wish that I were you
When I get loose, I'll climb a tree
And drop a load on your head
This monster in me makes me retch, you messed it, messed it up
I've got my telescope head in the haystack
I am jealous of your dodgeball circus act
Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark
Put pepper in my coffee, I forgot to bark on command
(You're mean, mean, mean
You tease, tease, tease me)
Do you smell jealousy?
Do you smell jealousy, jealousy, jealousy?
