There came a time when 12 record producers
realizing that twelve rooms of recording engineers
couldn`t help them rehash hash
turn shit to Smash
searched for a Singer of Merit
such that real-view men and women
who fed non-stop from online hawkers
file-sharers and pajama-wearing flim-flam men
would look up in awe and reach for wallets
finally devising a plan to construct
composite-DNA Super Groups via
scrapings of Bob Dylan`s epidermus,
Beatles`hair samples (later identified as
those of a John Hall Jr. from Abilene, Texas),
nail clippings from the third toe of Jimi`s right foot
(cut by one of his quick-thinking, good-time
drug buddies as his body turned blue)
a flake of drool from Elvis`
pill-debauched easy chair
Oh the record men cast their nets far and wide
and came back with many fruits of their labor,
developing a way of cloning the swerve and sway
and sense of menacing danger that had drawn
fans far and wide to buy their lps,
mashing these traits with those of
the business minded lapdogs
they preferred to lunch with.
That`s how we got Maroon 5, your Honor.
And that`s the honest truth.
