SonicMonkey

SonicMonkey is the online musical playground of Michael Hacker, an Arizona-based guitarist, songwriter, recording geek, and techie. Michael is the owner of SonicMonkey Studios (a.k.a. the spare bedroom in his house) and likes Pro Tools, Line 6, and other stuff that he wishes would give him a sponsorship. Michael occasionally talks about stuff. Sometimes, he posts musical sketches (read: filler). Even more rarely, he finishes a song.

Behold! My first FAWM offering! Enjoy.

Liner Notes:

I threw this one together rather quickly with the help of my friends MasterWriter, Pro Tools 8, ProjectMix I/O, Vetta II, Variax, and MacPro (aka OctoMom). Look for them on future songs.

Believe it or not, this took up nearly 20 tracks in Pro Tools. (Yeah, I know! Doesn’t sound like it at all!)

Lyrics:

[verse]

I like to call my apartment a ‘flat’
Cuz I’m a hipster douchebag
I even talk with a British accent
But I was born in Iowa

[chorus]

I think I’m so much cooler than you
But I’m too cool to say that
You’re gonna have to figure it out
For yourself

[verse]

I do my hair in a pompadour
Cuz I’m a rockabilly wannabe
I own a hollow-body Gretch
But I don’t know a single chord

[chorus]

I think I’m so much cooler than you
But I’m too cool to say that
You’re gonna have to figure it out
For yourself

[verse]

I like to listen to spoken word
Cuz I’m a douchey beatnik wannabe
I snap my fingers to Kerouac
And wonder, “who the hell is he?”

[chorus]

I think I’m so much cooler than you
But I’m too cool to say that
You’re gonna have to figure it out
For yourself

[lame guitar solo over chorus]

[verse]

Did you just hear that solo?
If you say “yes,” I know you’re lyin’
Cuz I know that it blew your mind apart
And you can’t hear without a brain

[chorus]

I think I’m so much cooler than you
But I’m too cool to say that
You’re gonna have to figure it out

I think I’m so much cooler than you
But I’m too cool to say that
You’re gonna have to figure it out
