Leaving Carolina

One of Romeo Dance Cheetah’s ridiculous talents is air guitar. In fact, he’s a national champion of air guitar and has appeared on The Today Show to teach Al Roker to rock. The Air Guitar Song is the first single and tells the story of how Romeo’s "there guitar" (aka real guitar) got jealous of his "air guitar" when they left her behind to tour the world together and become ridiculously famous.

Magnificent Man

The Air Guitar Song

An epic track that starts as a piano ballad and ends in a driving chanty rock out. Romeo sums up the album in this song, which is really about an ideal to “live the dream”. For Romeo, the dream is about something bigger than himself. “To work every day for something bigger than me, I live the dream”. Romeo gets vulnerable commenting on his struggle to balance work with an ever elusive state of happiness. “I’m a busy worker bee, honey give me something sweet now.” The song climaxes with a Billy Joel style collage of memories as his life flashes before his eyes.

Live The Dream

A stream of conscious beat poetry style rap that encourages audience participation by singing along and shaking shakers to the beat. The lyrics are commentary on pop culture and Romeo’s observation of this weird need many people have to become famous. “I just can’t look away from your car crash!” the lyrics repeat.

Laser Beam Makeup

The album picks backup with some pop and pace with 1970s Disco King. The song was written after looking through some old Polaroids of past roommates that he’s collected over the years. One roommate in particular would join Romeo to dress up in ironic 1970s bell bottoms and big collared shirts and paint the town red. Another roommate was a football star in high school that just couldn’t cut it in college. Another was also his co-worker at a retail store. They started work at 4AM and would make games out of tackling mannequins before their manager would arrive. Each one had experienced bad breakups and hardships with their girlfriends, and were still holding onto a past time they would never get back. The 1970s Disco King is a combination of all of these roommates and their time with Romeo.

1970s Disco King

This David Bowie style ballad tells the story of Romeo losing his first love because of actions he took fueled by peer pressure and his weak boyish ego. It’s a story about “the difference between living as a boy and as a man” and takes place on the playground during recess when Romeo was young – allegory for several relationships he would lose to his boyish ways. It took meeting his current fiancé to break the cycle and become a man. The song’s musical accompaniment is dynamic and theatrical featuring Lucas Jack on the piano. The song even breaks into what appears to be a ho-down to play up the silliness of his actions. But it then returns to a somber but epic waltz to remember the reality that Romeo has lost her for good.

Gone With The Wind

This up-tempo rockabilly-esqe jam imagines a world where two very different species, a porcupine and a bald eagle, fall in love. But they have a lot to overcome because they are so different and need very different things. This is not only a commentary on how love can take different forms, but the challenge of overcoming differences and allowing love to win. It’s rumored that this song was written about his relationship with his fiancé. The song culminates with Romeo’s lyrics “Porcupines and eagles making puppy love” repeating over and over till the end. There is always light at the end of the tunnel for Romeo.

Porcupine Love

There are so many party anthems for people that “want to party”, why not have a song for the people who “don’t want to party” aka “party poopers”. This is the most pop sounding song on the album and in Romeo’s words “this is a song for all the party people getting brown with it.”

Party Poopin

Just because you’re married, in your mid-thirties, have a kid or two and don’t have as much energy as you used to…that doesn’t mean you can’t get together with the boys and tie one on like you did when you were in your early 20’s.

35 Year Olds Dancin

A not-so-subtle autobiographical introduction to the self-proclaimed awesomeness of Romeo Dance Cheetah. The sexy classic rock guitar lead follows Romeo’s vocals as he yells “Magnificent Man” repeatedly in the chorus. He tells stories of secret meetings with the president and makes claims that he can “play the piano with no hands”.
