Nouveau retro pop rock music: Definitely rock, fairly pop, somewhat retro, and a bit more experimental. http://www.stonemarmot.com
Our music is the result of not watching TV for over 40 straight years. That's right! The person who writes all our songs hasn't had a working television in his house since January, 1982. Scary, isn't it! That could explain the somewhat retro, rather experimental feel to the music, which has been described as sounding somewhere between Buddy Holly, The Ramones, The B-52s, and They Might Be Giants. This CD is an object lesson in how warped and depraved a television-starved mind can get. And that's not all! To make matters worse, since no self-respecting human would stoop low enough to play this stuff, he suckered four poor, innocent cartoon characters into recording his music. Cartoon characters have it tough enough as it is, with people laughing at them all the time, without having to be subjected to this! His poor, unfortunate victims, who refer to themselves collectively as Stone Marmot, are: Cindy: Guitars Sid: Keyboards, guitars, lead and backup vocals Sammy: Bass, lead and backup vocals Bruce: Percussion, backup vocals This quartet played their little paper hearts out as the ignoble fiend who created them and their music practically produced and engineered them to death. Therefore, for the sake of the cartoons, we hope you give their music a good listen and try to appreciate their tireless and selfless efforts. Please! Don't let this happen to you or someone you love! Be sure you and your loved ones receive a healthy minimum dose of television each and every day.

Lyrics Stan Good, music A. Karpinski (Intro:) All the world is an ashtray Took a walk along a road near Birmingham But, hey, it could be anywhere Enjoying the wood's beauty and the scenery But noticed all the litter tha was there About that time, a Taurus zoomed around the curve Driver having him a smoke Finished it, then out the window it flew The butt landed at my toe And I thought “To you ... (Chorus:) All the world is an ashtray” But you should keep it to yourself All the world is an ashtray But you're bad for this planet's health I got no bones to pick with smokers 'cause Sometimes I like me a big cigar But grownup habits mean responsibility Like keeping your trash inside of your car Or toss it in the refuse bins That every service station has 'Cause when you flick it out your window Son, I want to throw it back 'Cause you think that (Chorus:) “All the world is an ashtray” Let Mother Nature clean your mess All the world's your dirty ashtray When you don't pick up after yourself Now, I don't blame only you smokers, no I blame all those mamas and dads Who never whupped their trash-tossing kiddies behinds And told them litterin's bad As I wrote this song, I saw two bluebirds land On a pine branch next to me We all looked down on the litter around And this is what we see: (Bridge:) Plastic Sprite bottle, two gum wrappers Plastic picnic folk, two torn sugar packs Yellow plastic dish, 'luminum soda cans And enough butts to make a smoker hack That's what was underfoot in a five foot strip And the view goes on for miles Ugly reminders of former thoughtlessness From adults who think like childs (Chorus:) All the world is an ashtray Out of window, out of mind All the world is an ashtray But it stinks unless your blind (Chorus:) All the world is NO ashtray Just use the trash can next gas stop Your car has an ashtray If you don't use it, someone call the cops!
