MAKE FRIENDS WITH GORILLA
Music by Overdrive and Stargoon

The song Make Friends With Gorilla is the result of a team effort and was composed in collaboration with the amazing band Stargoon. 

The initial idea was to produce the electro background for one of Stargoon's songs. It was then that the composer Shayne O'Neill introduced me to the demo of "Make Friends With Gorilla". The song was great and I spent a lot of time creating different electro versions, experimenting with beats and bass lines, but none of them sounded really interesting. I came to the inevitable conclusion that any change too abruptly would take away from the beauty of the original track, and perhaps the best solution was a remix. This way the original track could be released intact and still get a remix.

"Just do whatever you think works best," was Shayne's response. Man, you don't say that to someone who is desperate (lol). After that I completely abandoned the electronic versions and went for a mix of punk rock (!), anime music (!!) and orchestra (!!!)

This remix was by far one of the biggest challenges I've had to date, because it forced me to experiment with a crossover of styles outside the electro bubble.

I hope you enjoy the result.

Stargoon is the fantastic musical project created by the duo Shayne O'Neill and Ceridwyn "Sunny" Roberts-Floyd. The band has post-prog pop influences and was once defined as Hawkwind meets Devo. In my opinion, Stargoon's sound is completely original, a rare gem. I am an outspoken fan of the duo's work.

Their excellent debut album, The Gift, is well worth checking out:

I also recommend a visit to the SC profile of Shayne O'Neill, composer, musician and UFO pilot. His musical genius is indisputable:

The radio intro is an excerpt from the movie King Kong Vs Godzilla (1962). This exact part is available on YouTube:

The samples were obtained from the Slooply and SampleSwap websites, both excellent:

Lyrics
MAKE FRIENDS WITH GORILLA

Make friends with make friends with her, they said
Make friends with the piece they said
He doesn't intend to smash Tokyo.
He just wants to find love.
He just wants to find love.
This city takes everything we love.
This city is falling

Make peace with the gorilla man
Make peace with make peace with the gorilla man
He doesn't want to break with his hands
He just wants to go home
He just wants to go home
This city has ruined all the things that bring joy
This city must be destroyed

Make friends with make friends with make friends with the lizard king
Make peace with make peace with the lizard king
He doesn't want to crush Tokyo
He just wants happy times
He just wants happy times
This city has taken all the good times
This city is leaving

Make Friends With Gorilla (feat. Stargoon)

A song about one of the most essential teachings of all time, that everything exists only here and now.

Here And Now

Jazz Dream

I felt like a very Netrek mood and at the same time something about quantum chromodynamics.

Dedicated to Tom Youderian, Scott Humphreys, Sheldon on Big Bang Theory and every International Netrek League (INL) Team I had the pleasure to cross swords with, in any era.

intro:

Feeling time to rank scum maybe

Iggy says hasta la vista baybee

main:

There once was a man of science

Who placed a great reliance

On Fleming's sagely tome


While the others in their hammocks

Dreamt of quantum chromodynamics

He paced about the sandy loam


Having grown extremely weary

Of perusing the Onium Theory

He shook his burly fists

exclaiming 'Mucus Pig Exists!'

And vanished into the Quantum Foam

Lyrics: 
Baby on the bluff
Think I've had enough
If I could open up
I would open up
Maybe I was young
Turn it into love
Stop and sober up
I've been over trust

Staying on the edge
Yeah
Where you can't, you can't
Though I lay in flower beds
Yeah
That you plant, you stand in
You stand in

You stand
You stand in
You stand
Yeah

Wear my T-shirt
Baby we were seventeen
My hands on your throat again
Laying on that flower bed
Left our names at the bottom of a deep dark cave
I climbed out and saved the day
And I saw that summer haze

Baby on the bluff
Think I've had enough
If I could open up
I would open up

Staying on the edge
Yeah
Where you can't, you can't
Though I lay in flower beds
Yeah
That you plant, you stand in
You stand in
Staying on the edge
Yeah
Where you can't, you can't
Though I lay in flower beds
Yeah
That you plant, you stand in
You stand in
You stand
You stand in
You stand
Yeah
