Y'know, my drummer really likes this one. I really like this one. If you've heard it, you'd probably dig the shit out of it.
I'm just sayin'.
From Anubis Unit's first album, Rockarageous. Because sometimes music doesn't need a message, and we collectively agreed that we heard THIS word instead of "Rock of Ages."
So here's our response. For the record, this is one of the few songs WITH an intro, withOUT a bridge, and it also features a part of the second verse being a stripped down version of the verse riff. It's fuckin' awesome to hear!
(Intro)
IT'S ROCKARAGEOUS~!
WE ROCKED FOR AGES~!
IT'S ROCKARAGEOUS~!
ROCKED HER FOR AGES~(AGES~!)!!!!
I walked a mi-i-ile in his shoes
When I found the rhythm fell in love with the blues
It's not like everyday's always the same
It's just the winds of change are blowing our way
We rocked the Richter Scale to 10.5
Holdin' your body so close to mine
We're ready to roll 'cuz she's ready to go
It's gonna be one helluva horrorshow
IT'S ROCKARAGEOUS~!
WE ROCKED FOR AGES~!
IT'S ROCKARAGEOUS~!
ROCKED HER FOR AGES~!!!!
It came together like crazy glue
Breakin' down the floor just to entertain you
And when the fire burned from ceiling to floor
All you ever wanted was to let it burn more
(stripped verse)
Gettin' to the party and it's on full swing
Cool cats and kittens start to do their thing
Reach for her hand, start to dance real slow
I'm ready to go but she's already NUUUUMB
IT'S ROCKARAGEOUS~!
WE ROCKED FOR AGES~!
IT'S ROCKARAGEOUS~!
ROCKED HER FOR AGES~!!!!
IT'S ROCKARAGEOUS-AGEOUS!!
IT'S ROCKARAGEOUS-AGEOUS!!
WE ROCKED FOR AGES~!
IT'S ROCKARAGEOUS-AGEOUS!!!!!!!

1200 lbs. of Metal
SO. Sososo, some of you know already of our 1200 lbs. of Penis song. What, you don't? Then go back and check it out, you'll have a good time.
With that stated, we were told by certain business suited types that it wasn't a song they could really market, one that they couldn't really stand behind, y'know?
So. Here's our answer.
I don't believe in censorship, and if they had flat-out told us to drop it, I would've wiped my ass with their business card and thrown it back in their face. On the other hand, they didn't...all they did say was that it wasn't a song they could stand behind.
Strangely enough, my band responded by coming together and creating this and a music video idea of a giant robot fighting a seven-headed land-kraken. Literally of one of the band members walking around town, finding a "thread" coming out of their arm which unravels, which leads them to tearing their flesh off to reveal the METAL MONSTER underneath, then growing humongous, going on a rampage, then fighting that seven-headed land-kraken.
Then they call the OTHER THREE giant robots, and all four proceed to whup ass.
This is not censorship, nor is it selling out - we've done this on our own accord, and will support both songs.
Why am I explaining all this? Because, honestly I'd like to think I"m the kinda guy who learns from other people's mistakes, and I remember the whole fiasco with the Black Eyed Peas and the whole "Let's Get It Started/Retarded" bullshit.
Reckon I'll leave it up to the fans, ultimately, to take it as they will. But Anubis Unit stands behind every move we make, unless we find a new one that suits our needs better. To me, that is the meaning of musical freedom...reckon the whole band stands behind it as well.
1200 lbs. of Metal
(TWELVE HUNDRED POUNDS
OF
METAL) x2
Every night I go out to
satisfy my lust
the people all love me
they surround me with their trust
Whipping and slapping
every upturned ass I see
give them a pearl necklace
it means nothing to me
I don't really trip,
I never get mental
They come to expect it
now I'm 1200 lbs. of Metal!
The power's coursin' through me
From now until eternity
It feels so right but it looks so wrong
I don't care I just wanna get it on
(chorus)
(TWELVE HUNDRED POUNDS
OF
METAL)x3
Bridge
(During bridge, this is spoken by J:
Y'KNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, you shouldn't look at me that way, you'd do the same thing if YOU turned into a giant robot! DESTRUCTION! Just go on a freakin' rampage and smash all over this city YEAH!
Well..except for the docks, I like how pretty those boats look on the ocean.
Wait, you want me to do WHAT to your houseboat? Didn't you pay your insurance premiums?
Awww, I couldn't do something like that....
Okay, just this once~!
RAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!!
(break back into verse)
Put a strip miner on Oprah
and you'd look just like me
Y'know I got this Plasma Cannon
Down in my pants
I work so hard to
fit in with society
only to discover
the truth will set you free
From the poor to the rich
Hear them all scream and yell!
They've come to expect how
WE'RE ALL 1200 LBS. OF METAL!
The power's coursin' through me
From now until eternity
It feels so right but it looks so wrong
I don't care I just wanna get it on
(chorus)
(TWELVE HUNDRED POUNDS
OF
METAL)x3
IRON?!
STEEL?!
GOLD?!
DIAMOND?!!!
...(skip three beats, then) METAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!! (whole band: METAAAAAAAAAAAAAAL!!)

Another Prom Song (With Zombies)
Yet another really likeable one of mine, Another Prom Song was initially slated for A Night of Complete Horrorshow, only to end up as a back-to-back on Internet Terrorists.
Both songs featured a stripped-down, clean guitar prom rock sound and are just effin' cool to sing. I actually use practically the same vocals for this that I do for "Blue Moon," but I've heard from others that when I do 'em side by side for comparison they're completely different.
Peh, I hear what I hear, y'knowwhatImean?
Funny story, for the first two lines of each verse is supposed to be vocals and a kick-beat only, then everyone jumps in afterwards...but for some reason I didn't actually type that out on my notes. I gotta remember to do that or I might confuse m'band...
That and there's this xylophone sound that actually sparks up at hear and there all over the place on the song, only I recently found out it's the same goddamned xylophone tune that Gnarles Barkley used for "Gone Daddy Gone." Dunno if I still wanna roll with it, but it sounds sooooo fuckin' awesome though! We might just have to ask them to borrow it or somethin'...
The rings and the chains
and her rotting brains
(music starts)
That's how we love
like lovers
should
Comin' on home on a friday night
I'm feelin'
kinda shaky and my nerves are tight
But you know
In the crypt
In the tomb
Like lovers should
Alone at your tomb I'm waitin' for you
I'm feelin'
kinda wonky and I'm ready to do
What I must
In the grave
In her bed
Like lovers do
('Cuz when your darlings' a zombie
Your best friends a shovel) and a spade
(Creeping and crawling and stalking the night)
Performing atrocities unafraid
Ready to face the day together
Ready to face the day to come
Ready to face the day~!
(bridge)
(Creeping and crawling we stalk)
Her bones jangling
Her viscera gleams
(music starts)
That's how we love
Like lovers do
Take her to meet my ol' mom and dad
I'm reelin'
From the blows she delivers to them
And then we
drag 'em home
drag 'em down
Like lovers would
Finishing what she's done unto me
I'm seein'
Her point of view and it's plain to see
And now we
Lay me down
Lay her down
Like lovers do(oooh)
Like lovers do(oooh)
Like lovers
Do-do lay me down
lay we down
like lovers doooo~!

Zombifier
Okay, we got two songs that are considered "Prom Rock," so to speak, on our first album. As I've stated before, my main doesn't deal with only one genre but rather Hard Rock, Punk, as well as Heavy Metal. None of my songs really encapsulate that more than Zombifier and Another Prom Song (With Zombies).
Funny story, I actually had to add Another Prom Song AFTER the inception of the songlist for Internet Terrorists. It was my drummer who basically argued that we shouldn't split them but, rather, put 'em both on the same album...initially Another Prom Song was going to be on the A Night Of Complete Horrorshow album. SOOOO, if'n the album drops and y'all pick it up and like it? Yeah, you can thank my drummer for that.
(LAAAAAA)x3
Laaa-aaaaa, Aaaah-woaaaah...
Well I knew I should have told you girl
But you're killin' me (twice dead~!)
And it is true I have left you blue
And it's killin' you since (I've le-eft)
Girl I knew somethin' gone wrong
And it's tearin' me apart
I'm simply left here won-der-in'
The moment you tore out mah hea~rt!
(beat slows down, background vocals stop)
Oh girl, I should've told you
That I was already dea~d...
Oh girl, I should've told you
That I was already dead....
(beat picks backup, background vocals continue)
(LAAAAAA)x3
Laaa-aaaaa, Aaaah-woaaaah...
I never should have told you, girl
The day you left me (so wron~g!)
Oh well it was true I never knew you
Only the illusions of you that (I saw~!)
Girl I knew somethin' was wrong
Once you tore me to peic-es
But it's okay
I like it this way
Loved you right from the start...
Girl I should've seen it comin'...
You liked to play with the dead.
(LAAAAAA)x3
Oooooooh-woaaaaaah...

(bridge lyrics)
Everyone's at the prom

Goin' to and fro
Everyone at the ballroom

Runnin' to and fro...
