Like stated earlier, many of the songs written in the last few years would be digitally sketched with a sequencer before any lyrics or melodies were added. Thus explains why some songs don't have very good melodies, but that's another story called "The Learning Experience." Anyway, we were playing a show for a computer company called Immersion, and Prince Adam showed up wearing some technotronik members-only type jacket that looked like it was probably made in 1983. It had grids and geometrical stuff on it. I think it said Todd-1 on the pocket. Jaime The Robot remarked that it was probably made in Space Mountain Land. Who was Todd-1? Why was he wearing this jacket with removeable sleeves? Anyway, the music was written on The Kyu's sequencer, and with a little help, from Depeche Mode, this tale of the unknown jacket owner, Todd-1, sends chills up my spine. I mean, what if you got trapped in outer space and all you had was a lousy jacket with removeable sleeves?
The Aquabats rerecorded this song for their Yo, Check Out This Ride! EP.
Lyrics:
New places and new faces
Can be so terrifying
When you're seperated
From your team
And in Space Mountain Land...
Todd-One, he's alone
He's crossed the danger line
Can he communicate
The location of the Secret Base
Trapped Space Mountain Land
Todd-One, come in!
Todd-One, come in!
Can you hear me now?
Can you hear me now?
Todd-One, come in!
He will think of she in
Hopes he can escape
Against the Science Man
Outnumbered five hundred to
Todd-One
He's got a chance
His uniform, he converts
By removing sleeves in disguise
You can know his name
Todd-One, Trapped in Space Mountain Land
