"Signing Elmo" Lyrics:
Once upon a time, in the city of Los Angeles...
"Marty, Marty listen to me.
Bring me something the kids will cry for
Get out there, and get us stoked!"
Meet Marty, major label A&R scout
Forty years old, gut hanging out
Red Ferrari, Marty living in L.A.
Bumps another line to get through the day
Dumped by his girl, he paid for her liposuction
His friends call him "Money," in his introduction
And Marty knows nothing but claims to know it all
Lose the flat screen TV if he drops the ball
You're as good as your last hit, find the next big thing
If he doesn't bring the bling, his cell phone won't ring
What's the trend, what's new? What's a label scout to do?
Office life, Marty 11:32
The label pres. calls and yells, "Sign more emo!"
How about screamo? "If it sells, sign Nemo,"
"We're down 2%, and BMG knows,
My Daughter likes Dashboard, so get me one of those!"
He checks AP.net, the Scout and more
Yelling band names to his assistant through the door
The kids like this, who cares if it's great?
So he signs a band called Hearts that Hate
"Marty... we've got a hit!"

[CHORUS]
Cry tonight. My hands around your hands
I won't let you die tonight
Cry tonight. My heart's in your hands
I won't let you...

Hearts that Hate, Marty goes to their show,
Up in the club and here we go
Marty sees a girl in a Simple Plan shirt
With a Senses Fail boy, ha! that'll never work
He finds his label friends in the corner they huddle
An emo cattle auction, they penetrate the bubble
They talk about Victory and signing TBS
Dissing the same bands they just tried to impress
So the lights go down, the crowd starts to scream
Hearts that Hate have hit the scene
Blake on vocals, and lead guitar
He does a backflip, "Look how different we are!"
They show up at the studio to record it
A TRL, Billboard Modern Rock hit
They auto-tune Blake, but he can't tell
He says, "I've got perfect pitch, damn I sing well"
ProTools, Logic, cut, copy, paste,
Quantized solos and quantized bass
Signed, sealed, delivered and sent,
Across the U.S. and the single went

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Momentum builds, but it all caves in
Industrial comes back, the pres. needs a NIN
Marty finds a new band called "Fetal Coil"
And Hearts that Hate try to keep their fans loyal
They re-work their sound for album number two
As "Machines of Hate" but their career is through
They break up and work pushing mops and brooms
Blake gives guitar lessons in his living room
Blake gives guitar lessons in his living room
Blake gives guitar lessons in his living room
"Can you teach me track five Mr. Blake?"
"Hey, I wrote that song and it goes like this!"

[REPEAT CHORUS]

@Bourgeoisband that's because he's not really making fun of the music, he's making fun of the industry.

Nothing in the song actually implies Hearts that Hate are a bad band, they just get treated as a disposable commodity to be bought, sold and discarded as the label sees fit.

Weerd Science did a good job singing the chorus the other day.

[CLow786]

@DrSmokeTrees Thank You!!!! Finally Someone Says Wat I Think 

[124punkrock]

Real music: Classic rock, Grunge, Metal, Punk, Old school hip hop, Gangster rap

Fake poser music: Emo, New rap

[timlucifari666]

my favourite genre is black metal followed by screamo and symphonic. i hate rap with a passion. but this is some funny ass shit. also i know that the chorus is supposed to be the worst part, but today i found myself singing it in the shower.

[pablolovesdubstep]

It says Signing Elmo in the description ! xD

[NecroMetro]

@DrSmokeTrees That's a matter of opinion, if you ask metal head about Justin Beiber they will say he's a faggot (most of the time). That is their opinion and theirs alone, you have your own and we should respect that but when all you do is rip on another genre it's small minded and pathetic.

[DrSmokeTrees]

@NecroMetro

Yes it does. Emo music is gay. As in, emo music is so pussy, it likes to get fucked in the ass.

You kids today need to learn to listen to real rock, classic, grunge, and industrial.
