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
Verse 1: Hey there, Bright Eyes, always glad to see your face Your radiant features comfort like a warm embrace Like being waken by a gentle kiss Your grin has the magic to twist My frown, upside down Chorus: I'm so amazed what a smile can do Lifts my spirits like a rockin' tune So contagious, easy and free The gift you give for the world to see I'm so amazed what a smile can do Especially when it comes from you Verse 2: Miles have no meaning once I hear your hello Everytime I see you, your face is all aglow Like a full moon lighting up the sky Every little moment seems to shine 'Round you, feel so new Repeat chorus Bridge: The silent message that you send When you're glowing from end to end Turns a stranger to an instant friend Half chorus: So contagious, easy and free The gift you give for the world to see I'm so amazed what a smile can do Especially when it comes from you Last chorus: I'm so amazed what a smile can do Lifts my spirits like a rockin' tune So contagious, easy and free The gift you give for the world to see I'm so amazed what a smile can I'm so amazed what a smile can I'm so amazed what a smile can do Especially when it comes from you Fresh as fuchsia dripping with dew Paint my world the brightest of hues Let me share my smile with you Copyright 2005 JoDell Youker and A.
