I was feeling pretty tired and my energy was down
But I had some spare time so I went out to town
Though I had no money, and was actually quite poorI found myself wandering into a CD store
I just wanted to see what was new in the music scene today
I knew I couldn’t buy anything and had to save my pay
Still I thought there might be something really cool that I had missed
But what I actually heard and saw made me feel a little depressed
There was Green Day’s new album, all polished and mature
Something that my wife would like I could be pretty sure
And Marilyn Manson’s new offering sounded pretty much the same
Once exciting shock rocker now has become mundane
There were catchy J-pop rock tunes and a hip hopper sounding tough
But all his hip hop swearing just sounded like juvenile fluff Many new bands and old bands churning out CDs galore But everything I heard in there struck me as a bore Maybe it was my mood or lack of spending dough But I felt that there was nothing out there to satisfy my soul Then I came to work today and my friend showed me something new I’d never heard about this band but I’d like to share them with you. Ladies and gentlemen of SoulCast, from a person who was tired, feeling rushed, busy, and short of time, from someone who was bored with modern music I present to you something a little old but something that totally cheered me up and made me excited about a band I hadn’t known before. Presenting Toy Dolls and Nellie the Elephant!
(at least watch to the chorus!)
