Story Behind The Song

I wanted to write a song that would mock the Blink 182 song "All the Small Things"

Song Description

It's about a guy who is a rock star clone. He is making a mockery of all the cliche things record labels do in order to sell someone to the public. It is a comical song about life as a rock star.

Lyrics

I'll steal this riff from another song
I'll make it roughly three minutes long
I'll make the chords go one, four, five
I'll sing in a punk voice, way up high

So they think I am seventeen
When I am thirty-five

And when this song's on the radio
I'll be your plastic rock star clone
And when it reaches number one
I'll smile and say that I'm having fun

My record label will buy me air-time
I could not think of a rhyme for this line
They'll cut my hair give me some tattoos
They'll set me up with interviews

On teenage television
Hey mum and dad, buy me this album

And when this song's on the radio
I'll be your plastic rock star clone
And when it reaches number one
I'll smile and say that I'm having fun

And then I'll play some shows and
I'll make the crowd go "Oh aye oh"
Who is this man called Jamie Strange?
My band will make me look so good
I'll sound just like a rock star should

And when this song's on the radio
I'll hear them sing it at my show
But I'll know, I'm all alone
Cause I'm just a plastic rock star clone

And when this song's on the radio
I'll hear them sing it at my show
But I'll know, I'm all alone
Cause I'm just a plastic rock star clone

Thank you, you're beautiful
Yes I will play one more
