about

This song was written as a tribute to the many nights of getting together with my high school friends to record an album in one single night. While this was often done by the Coo-Koo Maniacs, there were several bands and projects that we did this with. The single goal: have an entire album to show to the next day!

lyrics

Let's Make An Album Tonight

verse/
Feeling the need
For the deed
You know the one I mean
Where we lay down some tracks
Drums are smacked
Vocals st-st-stacked

Bought a tube pre
Off the net
For cheap
It's gorgeous with the
Lines that run deep
Copper wire
And magic noises

chorus/
Bring your guitar and a mic
I'll bring that pedal you like
Let's make an album tonight
I got some extra heaphones
So that we can get tones
Let's cut an album tonight

verse/
So it's time to dust off
Your Fender
Practice amp 5-watt's of
Solid-state tone
Guaranteed to make's the ladies moan

Now all of the dreams
That I had
Come to fruition
When I see
The red lights
Glowing bright
This is my mission / Hit the ignition

Radioshack
Microphone
Picks up vibrations
From the membranes/folds inside my throat
(we call it singing)

Then electrical charges move cones
that push the air into the
diaphragms inside our ears
producing/perceiving tones

chorus
Bring your guitar and a mic
I'll bring that pedal you like
Let's make an album tonight
Don't matter if notes ain't right
It's all about the vibe
Let's cut an album tonight

bridge/
Bring your lava lamp
I'll burn the incense
