about

Bruce Levenstein wrote a few lyrics for a song when Stephen Malkmus "went electronic"

I added a few verses of my own, wrote the music and sang it (apologies to Mr Neil Tennant)

lyrics

[1]
He's heard the Human league
He loves John Foxx
He adores Gary Numan
He's abandoned rock

[2]
He's spiked up his hair
The rhythm is his slave
wants to sign with Sire Records
To be a part of the new wave

[3]

He's got a Juno 60
And he bought a drum machine
Now he's got a minimoog
What could it mean?


[4]

He's got a sequencer
No need to have a band
Just wants to make dance music
With a touch of his hand

[CHORUS]

he's doing synthesizers
he's doing synthesizers

[5]

Everything is synthesized
Nothing is real
Including his ambitions
It's all part of the deal

[6]

Now he's shopping around his demo
To all the big industry cats
Ready to hit the big time
In his tight leather pants

[7]

Up all night at discos
And doing fine
He's got it made to the beat
of a Roland T-909
Tries his best to make the scene
At all of the clubs

[8]

He's think he's friends with Martyn
He's been calling up Vince
He's sold his guitar
He's unplugged his amp since

[CHORUS]

he's doing synthesizers
he's doing synthesizers

[bridge]

The retro future is here today
Just use the presets, no need to play
Switch on that sequencer you just found
Embrace cold electronic sound


he's doing synthesizers
he's doing synthesizers
