My most popular live staple at The Fire. One day I'll do a re-recorded take on the stage version, with the 'we should all move to Canada...' middle and the last verse contributed by Spacey Raygun.

Physical Illusion is a one man lo-fi project that was started in 1999 as a vehicle for the musical self-indulgence of its' founder Nick Karn. The first five recordings were made on a crappy tape player (and built on VERY minimal guitar/keyboard/vocal talent) until the switch to Screenblast Acid was made in late 2003/early 2004 for the last two recordings Life In The Fourth Dimension and the one-time 'Nick tries to see if he can fit 100 crazy tossoff songs on one disc' album An Accidental Flash Of Genius.

Story behind the song
Like many of my songs, I came up with the title in a stream-of-conscious random list, and it took off from there. It's basically an excessively naive perspective on the idea that no matter how ridiculous it may sound, you can never tell for sure what a person/animal is REALLY thinking about.
Lyrics
Polar bears want to rock, and they're very irritated That they can't keep time or play full notes 'Cause they're too uncoordinated Polar bears want to rock, they want to go out to Sam Ash But they can't buy any Gibsons 'Cause they don't have any cash So you don't believe they want to rock? How can you tell what they're thinking? No, I'm not insane - I'm not naive No, I haven't been drinking Polar bears want to rock, they want to rule the indie station But they can't go on a winter tour Because of hibernation They don't live in Japan, their favorite band is not Cheap Trick They just live in an aquarium, where their favorite band is Phish! Oh yeah! Oh yeah, let's rock Oh yeahhhhhhh!
