about

"I Wanna Be Famous" evokes the spirit and mentality of Rock n' Roll music during a time when records and singles went platinum.This song is a tribute to rock bands during the 60's, 70's, and 80's, who brought excess to fame and fortune. This song is our Big Hairy Audacious Goal that we strive to achieve by giving everything we have to give you, the listener, inspiration to make something of your life and do what you love; since we too, are fighting the odds to make a living doing something we love to do. All of us are in this together.

lyrics

Got my guitar strung real low
Gonna hit the stage and start this show
Gotta wait 'til the time is right
because I'm here to blow your mind for the rest of the night
Sayin' "Goddamn!" real loud
we ain't too pretty and we ain't too proud
but we're normal guys
And we're on the rise
And we're breaking all the rules heading straight for the skies

I wanna be famous
The king of the world
Make me famous
Give me the world

I'm going 50 down a 35 road
Listening to my album on the radio
And I wanna be the king of prime T.V.
People at the pool taking pictures of me
I got more money than god
I'm drowning all my problems in alcohol
And I'm popping these pills for a strange prescription
Sleeping with models is my addiction!

I wanna be famous
The king of the world
Make me famous
Give me the world

Gonna have a breakdown, real bad, end up in rehab
Now that I'm gone all my fans are feelin' real sad
Cut my hair, change my name
Let the whole damn world think I've went insane
And then...
Come back, new track
Daddy's number 1 and he's got his groove back
And I'm not gonna stop 'til I hit the top
Retire at 30 and O.D. on my yacht!

I wanna be famous
The king of the world
Make me famous
Give me the world
