about

Inspired by Elvis Presley, John Lennon, David Bowie, Freddie Mercury, Kurt Cobain and @hyperbolit.

lyrics

When he finally grew tired,
Of pleasing the crowds,
When he felt uninspired
And all out of sound,
Elvis exclaimed 'Aloha!'
And he left our Earth,
He took a yellow taxi
To his planet of birth.

But before he left...
He called up Priscilla,
Said "Hello sweet baby,
I am so glad to have seen ya',
I'm going away now,
don't expect I'll be back,
'Cause I'm going home,
Back to Planet Rock,
Oooh wow, to Planet Rock."

A quadruplet of Beatles
Living on Planet Rock
At first could only whistle
But they soon learned to talk.
They took on human form,
Landed in the UK,
And when they started to jam,
You knew they'd be OK.


But then the one they called Lennon,
got so jaded and sick,
Saw that humans won't listen,
what he sang would not stick,
He told Yoko "I'm sorry,
babe you know I can't stay.
I'm going back to the planet
whence comes the music we play,
We're going away now,
don't expect I'll come back,
'Cause I'm going home,
Back to Planet Rock,
Oooh wow, to Planet Rock."

David Bowie is an organism of a more advanced race.
He came to our planet through a wormhole in space.
He came here to teach us about rock and roll,
So we can reach farther into the human soul.
He gave us a message from the place he was born
And it said "Come on, children, I'll show you the dawn.
Don't worry, your parents won't even know that you're gone.
It's just a shake and a knock,
It's like you're a key in a lock,
I'll take you to Planet Rock,
Oooh wow, to Planet Rock".

Still they aren't discouraged,
They still think we can learn.
They sent Freddie to show us
That the show must go on.
When we still couldn't see it,
They said "We'll make them understand."
And that's why in the nineties,
They sent Kurt Cobain.

And I'm certain that somewhere
A long way out in space,
There's another spaceship
Hurtling towards Earth.
And it carries a creature,
That knows what life is worth.
`Cause they've been trying to teach us
With all that they've got,
Because they know that the message,
Has got still to be learned,
Or by the time that they reach us,
Our whole world will burn,
So they've been sending us teachers,
So it won't be a shock,
When they reveal their true form,
Those monsters from Planet Rock!
Oooh wow! From planet Rock!
Green bug-eyed monsters (from Planet Rock)
Those blue-suede ghouls (from Planet Rock)
Those octopusey gardners (from Planet Rock)
Those giant glass spiders (from Planet Rock)
Those radio duckies (from Planet Rock)
Those albino mosquitos (from Planet Rock)
From Planet Rock (from Planet Rock)
From Planet Rock (from Planet Rock)
