Not your usual break-up song. Do you really feel sorry for this guy? What style would you classify this song as (or what artists does it remind you of)?

Artist picture
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
Now I ... was caught by surprise I didn't think that you'd get so mad Now I ... did not realize Was my boo-boo really so bad But since you think we're through now I want no more of you now These months with you just blew me away Got to take a trip now Don't give me any lip, now No way in hell that I'm going to stay Chorus: Foreign Legion, that's where I'll go As long as I'm so far away from you Foreign Legion's to be my home The deserts I will roam now that we are through Bridge: No need to stay here no more Now that you kicked my butt out the door No need for me to stay here I ain't going to stay here Tonight I pack my bags 'cause I'm going to join the Foreign Legion Now I ... am so sick of you Your pouting and your crackers in bed Now I ... am glad that we're through The memory of you I long to shed Can't wait to see the sand, now That barren distant land, now The sun will burn those memories to dust A rifle for my side, now A camel for my ride, now And memories blow away with the gusts (Repeat chorus, then bridge, and then chorus) Copyright 2003 A. Karpinski
