Lyrics

a man named edison, he made the phonograph
out of aluminum then later out of wax
oh oh oh oh it caught a melody
oh oh oh oh and destroyed it when it played

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

and now i love someone who studies history
we used to live apart but now she's next to me
oh oh oh oh we found a melody
oh oh oh oh so we enjoy it when we sing

oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

oh oh oh oh we found a melody
oh oh oh oh so we enjoy it when we sing

la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la
la la la la la la la la la

comments

i like this one a lot, a little low-key, but the recording is nice (that new setup must be boss). i like the prechorus part of this best, partly because of the syncopation in the melody over the straight backing rhythm. i like the keys on the offbeats, too. it helps the tune rock along pleasantly. well done for a dashed-off number. can't wait for next month!
