Story behind the song
A bit of funk
Lyrics
Wanna be a cool dude Too cool to make it Too cool to feel a thing when The sun is going down Supermoon is coming round And your star is gonna shine! Wanna be a cool dude too cool for aching How the world is passing by I don't wanna die and my star was gonna shine Act four scene five The hero makes the high dive Wallflowers never die But you wanna make it out alive Cool dudes know just what to do Cool dudes: just too cool for you Wanna be a cool dude Too cool for guessing They know the rain will fall They thought about it all and the stars will always shine Wanna be a cool dude Too cool for doubting That the hero's gonna win Though the odds are rather thin and the stars will always shine Act one scene one Eyes straight, look numb Play dead, someone has to make it out alive Cool dudes know just what to do Cool dudes: just too cool for you Act four scene five The hero makes the high dive Wallflowers never die But you wanna make it out alive Cool dudes know just what to do Cool dudes: just too cool for you

Funk influences with top notch melody and vocals. I can see you performing this on stage…rocking the audience with this funky beat and vibe. The bridge guitar solo is awesome…Real great song. Glad I stopped by…

Very Cool Richard. Fantastic vocals & a groovy funk vibe. Nice bass lines and tight rythm guitar. Dig saxophones, a bit soft in mix though. "Cool dudes know what to do, just to cool for you"....mmmm...is that a bit like Go your own way ? Btw...great short guitar solo that fits song perfect. 5 stars all over !!!!
