about

This is track 89 from my 2016 3 1/2 hour long 94-track debut greatest hits album [MUSIC, etc...] It was written around the time that T.T. The Bear's closed in Central Sq. in Cambridge, MA (2015?). That was one of my favorite music clubs in the Boston area and it also had double T's in its name like mine does, so it felt like a family member. This song contains observations from T.T.'s and all the Central Sq. music clubs in general..
Rock & Roll is the best; but it certainly has its share of 'interestingness'.

lyrics

Rock & Roll Smells Funny


Pick it up, put it in the van . .
Get paid whatever we can . .
20 bucks will get us to the show . .
But will anybody go? (No!!)

I'm sticking to the floor and I'm sticking to the plan
Get everyone in to the back of Cindy's van
No one's got a lighter still it's filling up with smoke
There's a reason that we like to call it dope (Dope.)

Rock & Roll: It smells funny
Rock & Roll sometimes stinks
Rock & Roll sure smells funny
Just get us some more free drinks. (Yeah!!)

There's a couple gettin' kissy in the coat room check
I'll give her my scarf to cover up her neck
Stickers hold the walls up in the co-ed can
But I wish that the hot water ran (Play that guitar again!)

*

The boys all love the singer with the bright pink hair
And the drummer only plays in her underwear
But they vomited the shots they drank on to the stage
And their fans are all underage (Another Coke, please)

Rock & Roll: It smells funny
Rock & Roll sometimes stinks
Rock & Roll sure smells funny
Just get us some more free drinks. (Let's go!)

The 4-in-the-morning party's starting to fade
The keg is spent; so's all the money we made
And someone peed on the kitchen floor
The pizza's gone so someone ordered more (Get the door)

Rock & Roll: It smells funny
Rock & Roll sometimes stinks
Rock & Roll sure smells funny
Just get us some more free drinks. (Again!?)
Rock & Roll: It smells funny
Rock & Roll sometimes stinks
Rock & Roll sure smells funny
Just get us some more free drinks. (Woooo!!)

(Last call!!)
