The story behind the song:
Each time we write/arrange a tune we take a journey. We have to admit—this journey took us a lot further than we expected. Retracing our steps reveals several factors that made this a reality. As we started arranging it we had serious writer's block. Perhaps some of the worst we've ever had. In fact, one day instead of writing we went around the entire studio with a can of WD-40 and coated every piece of metal to ensure that we were a squeak-free studio. Then on a whim we decided to back away and take an entirely new approach to the song—an African approach. It may seem random in retrospect, but at the time it was an exciting way to restart the arrangement. It was working, but our journey still was on foot until we called in Alex Boye, one of the most talented people we've ever met. Alex has this contagious energy that gave new life to the song and to us. He sings the tune in 4 different languages: Swahili, English, Yoruba (his mother's native language), and Alex's own African "scat" (we'll call it...Scafrican) =) Most of the words you hear are translated from the lyrics in the original Coldplay Tune. We're huge fans of Alex -- We bet you are now too!

When we had finished the arrangement we all agreed that listening to it was like taking a journey to somewhere remote and ruggedly beautiful. How were we to depict this with a cello, African percussion and, most difficult of all, a grand piano? We took a risky, but oh-so-valuable turn when we called in helicopters to air-lift us and our instruments where none had gone before! (Please excuse the Trek reference). Since no one had ever done this before where were we to go for advice? Well, we can tell you that Home Depot didn't have a lot of answers (how disappointing) but we did clean them out of their strongest cable they had. We don't mind telling you that when that helicopter began lifting our brand new-never-before-played grand piano into the air we couldn't help close our eyes and cross our fingers. We consider a blessing of Heaven that it worked. I guess we figured that if it didn't, maybe it could still be a viral video -- "PIANO MOVE FAIL" =)
We'd like to thank from the bottom of our hearts, Duane Fielding who offered the helicopters and SkyHawk http://www.skyhawkhelicopters.com for not dropping the piano...:-) Half-way through the first day of shooting we discovered that, as typical guys, we had forgotten to bring ANY food or water to this remote location. We had two options: one, wrestle a mountain rodent and harvest cacti or two, starve. Duane, our head pilot, took pity on us. He took off (literally) and moments later landed in a Wendy's parking lot, ordered 5 of everything (sadly, he couldn't use the drive through)...took off again and brought us chicken sandwiches and hamburgers via airmail. Thank you Duane! Flying in your helicopter was a dream come true for us despite the lack of doors. =)

All the instruments you hear are REAL instruments. We wanted to be authentic about this. The following percussion instruments were used:
Djembe (drum)
Agogo bell (like a cow bell)
Udu (the porcelain vase-looking drum)
Guiro (gourd scraper)
Djabarra (shaker)
Rain stick
Pangi seed shaker ("goat toenails" or Unas)

Lyrics
Yeah they call me sonic when I roll up I'm iconic
(SONIC: I'm savin' nature from the perils of technology)
Yeah They call me sonic when I roll up I'm iconic
(repeat)
(SONIC: Dr. Robotnik we got the emerald city on LOCK)
(SONIC)
Yeah they call me Sonic when I roll up I'm Iconic
and the world is taken over by Robotic animalistic CLONES
Fresh Red shoes hair blue like a bruise
and I Loop-de-Fucking-Loop over fools like you
I don't like the hold up
Im about to roll up
Bout to Vrmm vrmm Vrmmm
Hold it in and I explode up
My homie float up
Cuz he got the 2 tails whippin' like a rotor
Ain't really nobody thats as fast as me
(chorus)
im fast
faster, faster, faster, faster
im Fast
x3
(AMY ROSE)
Hey Bro's how's it goes
My name Amy Rose do you like my clothes
Want to see my hammer go boom boom boom
Do you want to see my hammer go boom da boom boom
Boom da boom boom better give me room
Cuz I'm coming pretty hard
Pink Typhoon
I don't need your paper
I don't need your things
Bling bling
I got emeralds I got gold rings
Zing I'm an animal
I'm a pretty thing take a Botnik and smash it and jump on my spring
(TAILS)
Ahhh Y'all I'm Tails
and y'all are fails
Im a sweet freak of nature y'all are weak like snails
I got my homie's back no matter where he at
and if you common' at me whack about to push you off this track
DR.ROBONIIIIIIK
Ain't really nobody thats as fast as me
I'm Fast
(CHORUS)
(Knuckles)
Y'all im Knuckles
Y'all just buckle
When you see me hit it hard
I go hard while you go home
and now you sleepin' there all alone
Cuz' I turn enemies into friends
Which one you gonna be cuz' it all depends
Can you take a beating with my hands
If you see me on the street you can meet the twins
If you want a treat you can meet my benz
Ain't really nobody thats as fast as me
I'm fast
(CHORUS)
