(c) 2008 by Lewis D'Aubin I Think Therefore I Rock mp3 I think - think that I am And therefore I am - am ready to rock I'll rock - rock you apart Like Rene Descartes - I know that I can My philosophy is real simple Gonna squeeze your brain like a pimple Gonna blow your mind - cause that's what I do! My philosophy is straightforward Takin' my guitar - and aim it at you! I think - I think that I will Ready to rip - willing to kill I'll thrill - like Cecil DeMille Except unlike him - I'm rockin you still! My philosophy is titanic Send your kernel into a panic Got a mind to turn your brain inside out My approach to life is loud and strong Jamming with the boys, we rock it till dawn Solo This machine is clean and I've oiled it Time to fish your brain from the toilet Now it's mine I think you'll think like I do Cogito Ergo Sum My pleasure is your doom Now here's five words for you I think therefore I rock I think therefore I rock I think therefore I rock I think therefore Iroc I think therefore I rock I think therefore I rock I think therefore I rock Think think think rock rock rock |
This song was written as a tip of the hat to another local band, Supagroup. The way I remember it is, I woke up with the basic idea in my head, and didn't have a firm idea of what it was about until I visited The Saint to see a performance by Rock City Morgue and ran into Chris Lee, lead singer of Supagroup. I immediately told him that I had written a song in his favorite style, and when I returned home I had figured out the rest of the thing. Within a week I had a crummy keyboard version of the song demoed and the band quickly set about to learn it. Dr. Rachnid contributed a tasty guitar break before the solo and the song was ready to rock! This song has quickly become our standard opening number due to its energy and self-contained 'mission statement' of rocking while thinking. The song's also in the right key for me to play on a open-tuned guitar, which doesn't hurt the image or sound! The recording of this song features Rachnid's girlfriend's snare drum and my prized Blue Oyster Cowbell. Billy Riecke provided the last minute icing on the cake late summer of 2010 with his keyboard part. Genius!
