LYRICS
See sharp or be flat
Likely be playing that
Like the music
Slick yet thick
Broad and wide
With depth and breadth
To turn your inside
Outside

See sharp or be flat
Likely be playing that
This or the other thing —
Sing “see”
We sing

LYRICS
What do you think?
Some molybdenum and zinc
Sorry, I’m a bit dumb
About molybdenum
A little mental
About heavy metal

What about
Iron and cobalt?
Jeeze… not to mention
Copper and manganese
Trying to figure out
Heavy metal’s participation
(Clap your hands and stomp your feet
Nibble on a heavy metal treat)

Trying to figure out
What’s heavy metal’s fault
Let’s see…
Lead and mercury
Got a tune the tuna
Or, it can kill ya
Hard to tell
When heavy turns to death metal hell
And, it will kill, kill, kill

ABOUT THIS SONG

Living organisms require varying amounts of “heavy metals”. Iron, cobalt, copper, manganese, molybdenum, and zinc are required by humans. Excessive levels can be damaging to the organism. Other heavy metals such as mercury, plutonium, and lead are toxic metals and their accumulation over time in the bodies of animals can cause serious illness. Certain elements that are normally toxic are, for certain organisms or under certain conditions, beneficial. Examples include vanadium, tungsten, and even cadmium.

Heavy metal toxicity can result in damaged or reduced mental and central nervous function, lower energy levels, and damage to blood composition, lungs, kidneys, liver, and other vital organs. Long-term exposure may result in slowly progressing physical, muscular, and neurological degenerative processes that mimic Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease, muscular dystrophy, and multiple sclerosis. Allergies are not uncommon, and repeated long-term contact with some metals (or their compounds) may cause cancer.
— Wikipedia

Do not eat:

  • Shark
  • Swordfish
  • King Mackerel
  • Tilefish

Nearly all fish and shellfish contain traces of mercury… some fish and shellfish contain higher levels of mercury that may harm an unborn baby or young child’s developing nervous system. The risks from mercury in fish and shellfish depend on the amount of fish and shellfish eaten and the levels of mercury in the fish and shellfish.
— The FDA of the United States of America

Iron is needed for blood; however, men can build up toxic levels of iron as they grow older.

And we connect as a molecule

LYRICS
Look at the size of the tongue on ’em
His tongue is as big as my thigh
Oh, my!
My, oh, my would you look at those teeth
The jaw, the teeth, the tongue beneath

A beautiful beast
To say the least

A picture tells a thousand words
And the words are mightier than their swords
The wealth of the mouth
In getting the message through
Come on lips, let the voice voice
By choice, let the voice buy choice

LYRICS
The scene I’m seeing — extreme
Obscene… we’d let it get to this point
Whose regret… the point of no return

Polar vortex hex on the East
Brave the heat wave on the West
At least…
Someone suggest, “Try our best!”

From what I’ve seen — extreme
I mean… talk about a butt joint
Someone shout, “Before the edge, turn!”

ABOUT THIS SONG
This song is about extreme weather events and human induced climate change. The day it was written and recorded the East and West coasts of the USA where acting bi-polar. The East was getting hammered with a snowstorm and polar vortex… while the West was on fire in a heat wave.

LYRICS
Just a simple man?
I don’t know if I am
Can only tell you
What I know is true

My attitude
Is servitude
To all
Be it greater than me

If the solitude of solicitude
Is getting to you
You’d stand tall
In Harmony
And want to be

Open your heart and see

Just a simple life
I don’t know if that’s what we live
Until love is rife
Bare your soul and give

Hello, can you see
I am here to hear
You know… please let me
Help make it clear

Give it a verbal x-ray
With the words we say
Exposing the weakness
In hate and cowardice

With laser precision
Enact the decision
Shave her with an x-ray-zor
Use your word sword
’tis best
To lay it to rest

Goodbye
Aye Aye,
Matey
In conclusion, the solution, too
You were able to bring them to

Helps give you surround stereo
The double neck guitar
Bound to take you twice as far

It’s all part of the big band theory

Let me tell you a story,

To melt your face
Even a timpani drum
Just for rhythm section fun

It’s all part of the big band theory
