SONG NAME: Atari
CREDITS- Austin Aeschliman: Lead vocals, back-up vocals, producer. Ted Wilson: Engineer.
COOL STUFF- In top 10 of the Dementia Top 20 for 16 weeks in a row (19 weeks total), #1 on the DT20 twice, and top song of the half year chart. #11 on the Mad Music Comedy Zones' 2008 Recap, #13 on DFSX's Top 100 Demented Songs of 2008 chart.
ORIGIN: The way this song came about is the same way a lot of my songs come about. I was checking the Billboard Top 10 Chart, as I do every week to see what's ripe for parody. Buckcherry's song Sorry was #9, since I've heard the song dozens of time while listening to the radio, I thought it would be good to parody, especially with a name with as many options as Sorry. At first I thought of doing a parody song about the game Sorry to parody the song, but I quickly realized that idea was stupid. After a few minutes I thought of Atari. I thought it was a great idea for a parody but the problem is I actually am not a gamer at all so I went and did some research for a few hours, after tht I wrote the parody. Recorded it, and now it's one of my biggest hits, and the lead single to my debut album.
LYRICS: New lyrics by Austin Aeschliman
Oh I had a boring day
Was buying stuff on eBay
I stumbled on a random page
It has changed my life
When it arrived last night
I’ll make those space ships fry
And hope that frog won’t die.
Atari is rad, Atari ain’t new
Atari was all the rave back in ‘82
And I know it’s not a fad
I hold the Joy Stick, and I run around
You stupid ghosts just try and kill me now
And I’m just going to play Atari
And now, I just play all day
Destroy the invaders from space
It’s older then most other games
I play now as a spy
I’ll save you while I drive
I’ll just swing on this vine
I hope Harry won’t die!
Atari is rad, Atari ain’t new
Atari is played more then my PS2
And I know I’ll play Pac-Man
Insert the cartridge, the Donkey Kong game
I just have to admit Pong is pretty lame
And I’m just going to play Atari
Every single day I play “Haunted House” and “River Raid”
The sleepless nights with me and Sword Fight
Strawberry Shortcake just don’t seam right
Oh yeah Atari!
Atari is rad, Atari ain’t new
Atari was all the rave back when you were 2
And I know I’m hooked for life
I shoot with the tank, I love Halloween
And E.T. ruined the whole darn thing
And I’m just going to play Atari, yeah
Atari baby, Atari baby, Yeah. Atari
