Description: This was a fun track. I had some friends and my wife provide advertising slogans in the breakdown of the song. For the most part, they are all "legitimate" slogans, but it's a lot of fun to see how they were used in the context of this song about the first sales pitch in history.

lyrics

Hey look at me
I’ve got something you need
It’s something brand new
Why don’t you get two?

If you want to succeed
You need to be like me
And use this every day
I’ll even help you pay

I’ve got something you want
I’ve got something you need
If in this life you’re gonna succeed
I’ve got something for you
And all you gotta do
Is listen to what I tell you

12 months no payments
A lifetime to pay
What are you waiting for?
Just fill out this form

You know you really need it
You cannot live without it
You will wonder how you got along
Would I really steer you wrong?

I’ve got something you want
I’ve got something you need
If you just take the time to listen to me
I’ve got an apple for you
Come and take a bite or two
A new world will be open to you

-We now join our regularly scheduled program, “The Fall Of Man” already in progress –

Whispers during 1st instrumental

Don’t you worry about what one person will think about you. In fact, if you don’t give in to your desires, most people will think less of you because you don’t have what it takes to be accepted.

You know you just cannot live without it. You know that you need it. You know all your friends have it. You can’t let them go on without you. What are you waiting for?

Monochrome
by Scandroid

This album has some serious 80's love going on and is a side project of Klayton, the genius behind Celldweller and Circle Of Dust. Midiboy

In Scarlet & Vile (Special Edition)
by The Echoing Green

This is one of the first synthpop bands I ever got into, and this album is by far their best album and among my favorite synthpop albums of all time. Highly recommend this one! Midiboy

Alpha and Omega (1999)
by Azimuth A.D.

This album right here....so good. It has a 70s vibe to it and yet has a slight electronic folk sound as well, but yet also modern. I love the singer's voice. She's so easy to listen to! Midiboy
