Story behind the song
The whole thing came from a thread at TheRecordingProject.com where the song writing moderator posted a thread in the guitar players forum saying he decided he didn't like logos anymore and wanted scrape the ones off his Fender guitars.
Some of the lyrics came directly from things he said in his post.
His statement just floored me "No Logos?" That's un-American.
His screen name is dobro and the words "dobro don't like logos" started rolling in my head and suddenly the whole lyric poured out in five
minutes.
I made the recording last Saturday while the family was out.
I like the energy in it - which is hard to capture when you're working alone.
Lyrics
(C) 2009 Bob Wheatley
Dobro don't like logos
He said so in his post
He want to scrape em all off
Of everything he owns
He don't like being a corp whore
He even hates company names
No words on my gear no more
I think that he's just saying
No words on my dulcimer
That smokes my Fender guitars
Their logo watch it founder
While I smoke a fat cigar
My dream is to cream the NASCAR
E-gods what a hideous sight
My generic electric guitar
Will show em how to do it right
Fender on the headstock
Makes me like all the rest
I feel just like a peacock
Oh this I must arrest
Logos they are low class
In my humble opine
they reek of tripe and jackass
and now I'm feeling fine
No words on my dulcimer
That smokes my Fender guitars
Their logo watch it founder
While I smoke a fat cigar
My dream is to cream the NASCAR
E-gods what a hideous sight
My generic electric guitar
Will show em how to do it right
dobro don't like low class
So he made a guitar thread
Does he play the bluegrass
With no logo on the head
(of his) lovely wall hung dulcimer
wearing ambiguous shoes
trying hard to conjure
an invisible mountain blues
No words on my dulcimer
That smokes my Fender guitars
Their logo watch it founder
While I smoke a fat cigar
My dream is to cream the NASCAR
E-gods what a hideous sight
My generic electric guitar
Will show em how to do it right
