Frank Nicolas - Aliens Ate My Amplifiers
Do you like things over the top? Do you like 2 minute guitar solos? Do you like banjos? Do you like low budget special effects? Do you like retro '50s sci-fi? Do you like campy cheese? Then you'll like this!
I wrote this song after a dream I had about the false dichotomy of rock & roll and folk. It's the title track of my new album and features Tijmen de Vries on bass, Arjen Knaap on drums and Joost Abbel on banjo.
Thanks to NASA (and the American tax-payer) for the beautiful Hubble footage.

Lyrics:
You can quote me every line from every book I ever read
You can even throw in Lovecraft and the words he left unsaid
You figure out where you belong
You hum the tune of your very own song
You want to rid the world of riddles but the answers are all wrong
Aliens Ate My Amplifiers
If I’d ever chased the dragon I would cut back on the smack
Urge these unreal apparitions to enjoy their sonic snack
But I’m as sober as sober could be
So I need you to sing it with me
Before we get an ET on our caller ID
Aliens Ate My Amplfiers
You can throw my bone a dog for every time it ever barked
Have the doctors at my bedside frown in silence at my chart
Shoot some golf balls to the moon
Whistle out your little marching tune
While I spin you tales of beached blue whales I shot with my harpoon
