Home/BlogMost people don’t realize that Al Gore invented rock & roll music. Really…they don’t. Mr. Gore even had his own tour — called Live Earth — where he and his band, CO2 Fighters, rocked the house in London on July 7, 2007.
Al Gore and his band, CO2 Fighters, rock Wembley Stadium in London as part of Live Earth.
You might remember Live Earth. It was a worldwide string of concerts which frivolously wasted huge amounts of fossil fuels to help raise awareness of mankind’s frivolous waste of fossil fuels.
Now that Mr. Gore has moved on to other things such as winning Nobel Peace Prizes, it’s only appropriate that he should have a tribute band. At least that’s what my evil twin brother and rocker, Butch Spencer, told me. Butch and several of his musician friends got together a year or so ago and recorded a couple of songs (mp3’s and lyrics below) to honor Mr. Gore’s tireless efforts to Save the Earth.
The band was called EcoFreako, and it lasted about a week before everyone found better things to do with their free time. Since then, the songs have been wasting away on my computer until I re-discovered them when transferring files to my new, Energy Star-compliant desktop supercomputer.
So, Butch asked if I would make the songs available to the masses as a tribute to Mr. Gore. I listened to them first (I think beer might have been involved during the recording session). When I warned Butch that some people might be offended by these songs, he just smiled and exclaimed, “Cool!!” Butch also told me to include “apologies to Kiss and to Ted Nugent.” Whatever that means…I’m no rock music aficionado…just a geeky scientist.
I Want to Mock Al Gore All Night
He tells us Earth is going to pot
He keeps on sayin’ that it’s way too hot
We drive one mile, Al drives us crazy
We start the engine to go for a spin
The trip has just begun when he flies in
We drive one mile, Al drives us crazy.
You keep on shoutin’, we’ll keep on shoutin’
I wanna mock Al Gore all night, and nearly every day
I wanna mock Al Gore all night, and nearly every day
I wanna mock Al Gore all night, and nearly every day
I wanna mock Al Gore all night, and nearly every day
He keeps on saying we should walk for a while
We’re in our Honda as he travels in style
We drive one mile, Al drives us crazy
He shows us everything he’s got
A carbon footprint like a parking lot
We drive one mile, Al drives us crazy
You keep on shoutin’, we’ll keep on shoutin’
I wanna mock Al Gore all night, and nearly every day
I wanna mock Al Gore all night, and nearly every day
I wanna mock Al Gore all night, and nearly every day
I wanna mock Al Gore all night, and nearly every day
Well I don’t know where he comes from
but he sure does come
Some say he’s from Tennessee
And I don’t know how he does it
but he sure does it good
You’d better not disagree.
He says the Earth has a fever
Earth has a fever
Well the first time that I heard him I was just ten years old- he said-
“goodbye to the pretty seashore”
He said he was an expert, he said he had the cure
They call him Dr. Al Gore
He says the Earth has a fever
Earth has a fever
Earth has a fever
Earth has a fever
”It’s very dangerous
we can’t sustain
we’ve got to ch-ch-change” (he said)
”You know how hot it’s been,
there’s too much rain”
does this man have no shame, shame,
do you hear what he says?
Well we make the messy air
and destroyin’ the land
He says he’s blamin’ it on me
Well he knows just where to go
when he needs that carbon banned
clueless actors and the Greens
He says the Earth has a fever
Earth has a fever
Earth has a fever
Earth has a fever
