Lyrics:

I hang out with guys holdin big degrees
Designin boards for the industries
Were usin chips in standard packs
To send out data -- hope we get some back!

Some chips are custom, some chips are plain
Some chips will drive an engineer insane!
We spec em in the design looks sweet,
We buy a half a million before they go obsolete!

Im a Chiphead well, Im a Chiphead yeah, Im a chiphead
I coulda been a doctor or a lawyer instead, but Im a Chiphead

Im a Chiphead -- Im a Chiphead yeah, Im a chiphead
Semiconductors help me earn my bread yeah, Im a Chiphead

I lay out circuits in the day and the night
Always got my headphones adjusted just right
I need three hands, while Im watchin the screen
Two for the mouse and keyboard, one for sippin caffeine

Im a Chiphead -- Im a Chiphead yeah, Im a chiphead
I get turned on watchinschematics get drawn cause Im a Chiphead

Im a Chiphead -- Im a Chiphead yeah, Im a chiphead
I check out the specs on the complex projects, yeah, Im a Chiphead

I go to tradeshows to learn from the pros
I watch the how-to videos
Talkin double-data-rate memory
Data transfer at high at M-H-zs

Integrated circuits come in every shape and size
Gettin smaller and hotter you gotta realize --
If you work with these your gonna need thermal grease,
Fans, clamps and heatpipes so the heatll decrease!

You gotta be a Chiphead! Be a Chiphead be a Chiphead
Be a Chiphead come on be a Chiphead, be a Chiphead..... etc.

A happy surprise found while searching on "theremin". Bravo! Now learn to play that thing!!! :-)

Spellbound, a brief program of music for theremin

[ninetows]

Thanks for watching David! I have a couple of theremins (moog and Jake Rothman's) and use them mostly for peripheral layers in the music that I music it create. I appreciate the talent you real musicians display on this instrument. Beautiful, weird, haunting solos -- the possibilities are seemingly endless!

Thanks for the nod -- Kelly

I'm not familiar with the Jake Rothman theremin. Can you tell me about it?

If you have any music that features theremin that you think might be worthy of airplay, please refer me to it so I can listen to it for my program.
