Operation P.R.O.V.O.L.O.N.E. is a song written by Kendal Thompson with lyrics written by Jacob Logan. It's a song about astronauts traveling to the moon and finding out that there is a conspiracy involving what the moon is actually made out of: cheese.

There was a lot of in line processing on this particular track. I used Drawmer 69,  68, and 1176 as compressors for the kick, snare, and overheads.

I used about everything I could on the racks in Studio A. After recording the drums, I printed and processed the toms through the 611 EQ and the 525 compressors to give them a more punchy sound. They were very low in the mix after everything was recorded. Which was something that was bound to happen with a mix that has everything run through in-line processing except the 3 tom tracks.

Musicians:
Kendal Thompson - Guitar
Aaron Eldred - Bass, Keys
Mike Shaw - Drums and Vocals
Jacob Logan - Lyrics

Lyrics:

Approaching the moon,
It glows yellow
We will land soon
On the rock below

The closer we get
A pungent odor infects us
What have our noses met
A stinky cheesy must

"Houston, Houston we have a problem
The moon is made of cheese
A squishy yellow gem
Help us understand this please"

"Now you know too much
Farewell men you've served us well
The truth unraveled like a babybel
Free from the fake wax shell"

The truth is revealed and we are damned
We have been left all provolone

The story of the moon has been a scam
Our chances of survival through the void they have flown

I would've thought a lunar eclipse would make the earth a nacho
But I was horribly mistaken
I walked around thinking I was macho
But goddamn the Gouda has me shakin'

As I come to terms with my mortality
Never shall I hear the wind in the trees
Never to see my friends or family
All I will ever see anymore is cheese

Operation P.R.O.V.O.L.O.N.E. - Doviov
