Audio Adrenaline - The Houseplant Song

[Mark talking] Hi this is Smooth Steve from K-Jazz welcome to Java the Hut,

tonight we have a special guest a young man from uh...

he's playin' a new song... well here go.

[Bob talking] Thanks Smooth Steve, hey this is a song about a book I

read once about the so called "inherit evils" of Rock 'n Roll, I wrote this

song about it, I guess I'd just like to thank you for lettin' me come out and

sing this song, here it is:

Once I read a book, and this is what it said,

"If your music has a beat, then

your gonna wind up dead.

It doesn't really matter if its Christian or not,

if it's syncopated rhythm, then your soul is gonna rot."

And this book was called:

Ha! your gonna burn!

and in the second chapter,

I went on to learn:

CHORUS

you take 2 houseplants and put ‘em to the test,

set them both in front of speakers and let the music do the rest.

The first one you play Mozart or something lovely like that,

the second one you play that Petra or that MegaDeth.

Doesn't really matter what kind of rock it is.

So I took my 2 houseplants, and i put them to the test,

I set um both in front of speakers and let the music do the rest.

I powered up my pioneers and let the music roar,

but 20 minutes later someone's knockin' at my door.

I opened up my door, and there my neighbor stood.

He said "Man I'd like to sleep, if you think I could!"

I said "Man, can't you see here,

I've got this moral dilemma that I have gotta get clear"

He said "What kind of moral dilemma could you have a this time of night,

that could make me so angry that I just wanna FIGHT!

[sound of a cup breaking...] Sorry!...

So I pointed to the page, in that open book,

that had a picture of a potted plant, and I said go have a look.

And he read:

Repeat Chorus

First of all he said, that’s Wagner that you’re playin',

I've never heard of Petra, and isn't Megadeath all dead?

And secondly, emphatically he asked me what’s the sense,

of hangin' out with houseplants, Hey I live right a cross the fence!

And I thought to myself, you know that’s a good point.

So I took my two houseplants, and I put um both back outside,

and me and my neighbor, well, we went out for a drive.

We talked about all the things that really matter most,

like life and love and happiness, and then the holy ghost.

Now my two houseplants both sit out in the sun,

as for my neighbor well our friendship has become,

a meaningful relationship that’s headed straight to heaven,

but as for now, we like to sit around and listen to Audio Adrenaline

cranked to eleven!
