Lyrics

Your Mama’s Rockin’ Chair

Up, I want to see you up
Don’t want to see you down
Whatever you might do
Sound as solid as a pound
Don’t want to see you down
Just follow what is true.

Break your mama’s rockin’ chair.
Don’t let it take you down

Walk on both sides of the street
And pick up on the beat
Don’t let yourself get down.

Get that monkey off your back
Don’t let him rule your world
He’ll surely take you down
Break through that voodoo wall of glass
Don’t hide behind the mask
That wants to drag you down

Break your papa’s rockin’ chair.
Don’t let it take you down

Got to get on board the boat
And rock it ‘til it sinks
Whatever holds you down.

Sound as solid as a pound
Don’t want to see you down
Just follow what is true.

Walk on both sides of the street
And pick up on the beat
Don’t let yourself get screwed.

Break your mama’s rockin’ chair.
Don’t let it take you down

Get that monkey off your back
Don’t let him rule your world
He’ll surely take you down.

	Feter Strikes Again! Thanks Feter for again being the first to comment on a song. I greatly appreciate your effort here at Mac Jams. I'm glad you liked the song. I think the remix helped, but I don't even remember what I did to other than make the drums standout a bit more and pump up the volume. Thanks again. Check out my latest song called Darkness of the Night

Thanks Ego
Thanks for the nice comments. The drums are all loops from GB 3 pieced together with a bow and a tip of the cap to Keith Moon. He was the guiding light for the instrumental part.

The instrumental part also owes to The Who in general. The bass is really one note reminiscent of Entlwistle in Tommy and the guitar is a direct influence from Pete Townsend. Now if I could only sing like Roger Daltry I'd be in business.

Thanks again for coming by and listening.

	You Are Probably Right, Vic Since I grew up during the fifties and sixties I would not deny any influences from those decades. I appreciate that you came by, listened and commented. Thanks, Vic Check out my latest song called Darkness of the Night

	Thanks LG Thanks for coming by and listening. I was out of town last week and just catching up on the MJ. As for the drums, I used GB loops and was fortunate enough to find the right ones for this song. It was a bit of searching, but it came together. I always appreciate your comments. Check out my latest song called Darkness of the Night

	Great drums I've got GB3 and I'm sure those loops aren't in there..or if they are I haven't found them. I thought you'd used a live drummer. Cool psychedelic rock track. Great mover..and great scream at the end. Did you hit something?? ;-) Check out my latest song called Dr.Thunderball-Bond theme challenge

Monkaton	Monkaton said 302 days ago (January 26th, 2009)
	Loops Believe me they are all loops. I wish I had a drummer it might have been easier. The scream was an attempt to replicate Roger Daltry. About as close as I can get. Thanks again for your comments. Check out my latest song called Darkness of the Night

	Drums are cool now, man If this is your worst sounding song, you have it made, man. The drums sound great. The entire mix is entirely believable. Sounds like a band jamming. Nice job. //Andy

	Memo-rable. Love the groove. Don't know where you got the drums, but the beat and guitar grove got me jumping this morning. I even made a to-do note in iCal to get back and her more of your stuff. Seriously fine ass-moving song. Check out my latest song called Yours and Mine

Monkaton	Monkaton said 236 days ago (April 3rd, 2009)
	GB 3 Believe it or don't! The drums were loops from Garage Band 3 spliced and diced to recreate the frenzy of K. Moon. I'm glad you stopped by to listen. Thanks for the comments. Check out my latest song called Darkness of the Night
