Bobby "Boris" Pickett Lyrics - Monster Mash
Happy Halloween
"Monster Mash"
GoodEvening. Ahahahaha.
I was working in the lab late one night
When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
He did the mash
He did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
He did the mash
It caught on in a flash
He did the mash
He did the monster mash
From my laboratory in the castle east
To the master bedroom where the vampires feast
The ghouls all came from their humble abodes
To catch a jolt from my electrodes
They did the mash
They did the monster mash
The monster mash
It was a graveyard smash
They did the mash
It caught on in a flash
They did the mash
They did the monster mash
The zombies were having fun
The party had just begun
The guests included Wolf Man
Dracula and his son
The scene was rockin', all were digging the sounds
Eegore on chains, backed by his baying hounds
The coffin-bangers were about to arrive
With their vocal group, "The Crypt-Kicker Five"
They played the mash
They played the monster mash
The monster mash
And it was a graveyard smash
They played the mash
Its caught on in a flash
They played the mash
They played the monster mash
Out from his coffin, Drac's voice did ring
Seems he was troubled by just one thing
He opened the lid and shook his fist
And said, "Whatever happened to my Transylvania twist?"
It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash
The monster mash
It's now a graveyard smash
It's now the mash
It's caught on in a flash
It's now the mash
It's now the monster mash
Now everything's cool, Drac's a part of the band
And my monster mash is the hit of the land
For you, the living, this mash was meant too
When you get to my door, tell them Boris sent you
Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash
The monster mash
And do my graveyard smash
Then you can mash
You'll catch on in a flash
Then you can mash
Then you can monster mash

Poetry by: Christine
WE CHOOSE TO IGNORE!
Take from the poor
To get money from the rich
Now they got nothin
No money to spend
This world of opportunity
Is full of selfishness
Meat for our variety
The hungry left with shit
There so much material
Yet somehow we want more
We have the power to listen
But we choose to ignore

Poetry: REVOLUTION
By: Chase Martin
I will change this God-forsaken place
I will have no fear and show my face
I will take this journey
And not relent til im carried off on a gurney
Ill take my dream for PEACE, and find a piece
A piece of tranquility for all
Where Freedom can trully ring
And once again the people can sing
Ill stop this Governments tyranny and facist ways
By bringing our people out of this foggy haze
Ill stand up againt the biggest power of them all
And tear down this governments wall
People we NEED a REVOLUTION
By bringing back to life our CONSTITUTION
This man will continue to dream
Until our country is all on the same team
It is our Responsibility to fight for what is right
And these dreams are so within sight
No more disgrace of our flag
With some WEAK ASS price tag
Lets lay down the sword
And show once and for all why we are the greatest country in the World!

THEMUSICALREVOLUTION.COM THIS MONTH: This month we'd like to send out big love to Najihah, Omaha and Chase. We're happy to acknowledge the return of fine poetry to the site. September has seen a resurgence of the poetic with the contributions of our friend Christine. Check: http://www.themusicalrevolution.com/weblog/freestylelyricspoetry/index.html
for a couple of her pieces. Next month Christine may just have some company. Fellow revolutionary, Omaha has promised to offer up a few of his masterpieces :) Big News! SOCAN (Canada's society of composers, authors and music publishers) has decided to offer up a hefty cash prize to two of ten independent artists for their work. We even get to help decide who receives this bursary. Check:
http://www.themusicalrevolution.com/weblog/promotion/index.html
The songs are great! Hope you enjoy.
EDITORIAL:
So. first off - Happy Anniversary Revolutionaries. 3 long years of putting up with my rambling and it looks as if tha shit's only getting stronger! Now if I can only get the new site up and running... :D
Speaking of me - LOL! This past month, a dear friend of mine happened to send me a couple of pics. These pics not only brought back a past that seems like another lifetime ago, but they served to remind me of why I got into this revolution thang in the first place.
Check these pics:
Or this song: 15 Min. Marathon
For those who remember "Strange Bargain", an independent band devoted to pushing the envelope, you already know. For all the rest - figure this: We were kids who did it. We did the school. We made our parents "proud". We wanted to make everyone happy.
But.
Bargain was OUR offering. In hindsight, I doubt that many really "understood" what all the noise was about. Why? Why the chest hair; the nudity? Why the jumpin' around, the yelling, the falling on our asses? Why the tandem cocks or the boobies? Why the hell did the ENTIRE audience have to take the stage? Why???
The answer. The Next Level. We knew that we could write "pretty" songs. We knew that we could stay in tune and sing everything. We knew that we could practice hard and impress critics with our skills. We'd been doing it since birth. Anyone could with enough time spent. But - it's all been done.
So, today, Mr. Selbie holds it down teaching high school. Mr. Benny is playing and singing in a touring "rock" band with a manager, label and everything. I just bought a house. I'm settling down with the best partner anyone could ever ask for. We're back to making people happy.
But.
Long live the Strange Bargain's of the world.
Thanks Pauls.
Strange Love All,
i220

8. WHO CARES?: 50 BUSTED! Apparently, when pulled over in New York City he refused to produce a driver's licence, was driving without insurance, driving without licence plates and making an unsafe lane change. It has also been reported that he had 3 kidnapped 8 year old Filipino Nike workers in the back seat, one of whom was smoking crack while the other two were playing Texas Hold'em in the nude. But, that may be fabrication... John Mayer - what is up cat? Recording a blistering blues album with two of sessiondom's finest = gooood. Dating Jessica "Can't Tuna Fish" Simpson = WTF?.. "Don't Believe Tha Hype"... Whitney Houston files for divorce from Bobby Brown and is immediately spotted shacking up with Pete Doherty.. JK... Britney's.. Baby.. Boy.. Let me guess.. "Blanket"?.. Delana shoulda won! Sexist/racist/fascist/non breast fed long hairs - LOL!.. Eminem to release Mixtape.. about how he haytsz N#@gers. Fuck him!.. Jay Z's retirememnt lasted about as long as my.. What?.. It's cold out... Andrew Lloyd Webber. No. SIR Andrew Lloyd Webber. Playing the reality TV gig? Next thing you know, the vicar at my church will be living in a big old house on a hill with 7 TV's and a Lexus in the drive. Wait a minute... "Nevermind" - 15 years old. Kurt Cobain - still dead... Madonna is the top-grossing female touring artist oF AlL TIME! But, understand this - they didn't keep very accurate records back in Joan or Delilah's days... Linkin Park is killing Nu-Metal. How about they just change the name? I mean "NU". What is that?.. WHAT IS THAT?
