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
If you want to be miserable, chances are you will be miserable For a miserable person doesn't let good fortune interfere with his misery If you want to be happy, chances are you will be happy For a happy person doesn't let misfortune steal away his happiness Chorus: All of us see good and bad, pleasure and pain, happy and sad You can bask in the positive or dwell on the negative The choice that you make, what you choose to be Determines your life and personality If you want to be hateful, chances are you will be hateful For a hateful person doesn't let kindness soften up her bitterness If you want to be loving, chances are you will be loving For a loving person doesn't let belligerence weaken her love or sympathy (Repeat chorus) Bridge: For your attitude determines all It can make your problems big or small It can leave you feeling like a worthless heel or feeling ten feet tall So, if you want to be beautiful, chances are you will be beautiful For a beautiful person doesn't let appearances keep her from feeling beautiful (Repeat chorus) Last chorus: All of us see good and bad, pleasure and pain, happy and sad You can bask in the positive or dwell on the negative The choice that you make (The choice that you make!) What you choose to be (What you choose to be!) Yes, the choice that you make, what you choose to be Determines your life and personality (Your life and destiny!) The choice is yours Copyright 2003 A.
