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
Why do you want to own me? Why do you want to treat me like a pet? Why do you want to own me? Steal away my self-respect. Why do you feel you need me? Why do you feel you need me on my knees? Why do you feel you need me? Groveling and begging you (Chorus:) Please, won’t you let me be myself? Does my freedom threaten you so? Insecure? You can’t let go. Please, won’t you cut a little slack? You’ve got my leash a little too tight. Are you scared of what I just might not show? Why do you want to shame me? Why do you want to make me look like a fool? Why do you want to shame me? Really, must you be so cruel? Why do you want to hurt me? Why do you want to squeeze me ‘til I bleed? Why do you want to hurt me? Bound and beaten, oh. (Repeat Chorus) (Break:) Show that I’m not too miserable Show that I’m not so vulnerable Show that I’m not too weak to be alone? (Repeat Chorus) (Repeat Break) Copyright 2003 A.
