An original spoken piece / hip-hop song about the frustrations of being a Tyrannosaurus Rex in the modern world.
The idea for this track came from Doug Walker who does a very popular web review show called “The Nostalgia Critic” for Channel Awesome. After having met him at a Chicago event, he approached me asking if I could come up with a piece of music for his forthcoming review of the 3-D theatrical re-release of "Jurassic Park". He wanted an awesome theme song for the Tyrannosaurus, to accentuate just how bad-ass it is. He also had this idea to turn it into a full song of some sort where we hear a T-Rex going about doing mundane things in the modern world, and when faced with anything annoying, it would react in the way a T-Rex should. I composed a basic track for him and provided the chorus vocal hook, which he used in the review and then released the initial version of this song. A year later, I wrote a bunch of additional lyrics for me as the T-Rex to go after Doug's stories/choruses, and with music & mixing help from TV's Kyle, viola, we have "The T-Rex Song (Director's Cut)".
Doug:
A'right, so I'm walking down the street... you know, whatever... jus' minding my own business [Yeah, yeah I know]. I take a look and I see an Ice Cream Truck, and I'm like aww shit man, y'know I want some ice cream. Cuz it is a hot motherfuckin' day [Well yeah, man...] I want some goddamn ice cream, so you know I go up there all the kids are running away y'know they're like "Oh my god a dinosaur!!" Y'know all that fuck [Pussies!] and I go up there and I say "'ey, I want some mint chocolate chip ice cream." Ice cream man looks at me and says "We don't have any mint chocolate chip ice cream" [Awww...] An' I told him, I said "Dude, I really want some mint chocolate chip ice cream." He says "I'm sorry. We don't have any mint chocolate chip ice cream."...
...SO I ATE THAT BITCH!!!
Luke: I'm a motherfuckin' T-Rex!
Doug: The most vicious beast to ever walk the planet.
Luke: I'm a motherfuckin' T-Rex!
Doug: A Tyrannosaurus, not some newt in a zoo.
Luke: I'm a motherfuckin' T-Rex!
Doug: Now gimmie some mint chocolate ice cream, dammit.
Luke: I'm a motherfuckin' T-Rex!
Doug: And while I'm at it, I'll have a Rocket Pop too.
Luke:
I ain't made of latex, or extinct like Aztecs.
When they made us all female, I changed my sex.
Gobbling up rednecks like they were Tex-Mex.
Time for your butt to start cashing those checks
from a motherfuckin' T-Rex!
Doug:
So I'm waitin' in line at the DMV, [Oh I hate that place] y'know, cuz I moved recently and [Yeah, I know] the, the address on my insurance doesn't match the address on my license. So, you know I, I gotta go in I gotta get that changed. Y'know, they gotta match and shit. [Oh that's a pain in the ass] So I go up to the lady, she's there show her my license and I say "'ey, I need this address changed" She says "You need two articles of mail." So I show her this card that, y'know, my mother wrote me, y'know cuz it's like hey y'know my mother she writes me cards. She's fuckin' cool. Y'know she's my goddamn mom. y'know? [Yeah] So I show this to the lady, and she's like "Oh, no no... sorry. This doesn't count. [Oh shiiiit.] It has to be something that the government recognizes [Oh, that whore.] y'know like a bank statement or a bill or somethin' like that."...
...SO I ATE THAT BITCH!!!
Luke: I'm a motherfuckin' T-Rex! [*T-REX!*]
Doug: King of the thunder lizards, y'know what I'm saying?
Luke: I'm a motherfuckin' T-Rex! [*T-REX!*]
Doug: I don't need your eye chart. If you move, I'll see you.
Luke: I'm a motherfuckin' T-Rex! [*T-REX!*]
Doug: I'll chomp your fat ass in one gulp without thinkin'.
Luke: I'm a motherfuckin' T-Rex! [*T-REX!*]
Doug: Now just give me my license, I got errands to do.
Luke:
While I'm drinking Beck's at the discotheques,
With DJ Velociraptor on the decks,
I'm gonna lyrically flex, and drop rhymes complex.
Straight out of a time vortex
comes a motherfuckin' T-Rex!
Doug:
So I'm online at a forum, y'know [Oh yeah?] and I'm tryin' to look up where I can get some good dinosaur porn. Cuz, y'know I'm... I'm a Dinosaur. I want some dinosaur porn [Yeah, you gotta do it, you gotta do it] So you know I'm... I'm lookin' around and ask on some of these porn forums y'know [*laugh*] "Hey, where's the dinosaur porn?" and like everyone's tryin' to act like I'm not there. They're all tryin' to ignore me uhh except for this one kid. Okay, so this one kid decides he wants to answer me. Remember his name is Bobby. Bobby Lou. What the fuck kind of name is Bobby Lou? [Aww...] An' I'm saying "Hey, where's the dinosaur porn at?" and he's like "Dude, what are you, some sort of freak?" I don't like that so okay, so I'm like "I just want my dinosaur porn, okay? I... I don't want to cause any trouble." And he says "What? You a T-Rex or something?" I say "Yeah, yeah I am a T-Rex or somethin'" an' he says "What the hell you gonna do with dinosaur porn? Your arms are so small you can't even touch it." [Oh no...]
So I found out what state this guy was in, bought a plane ticket reserved a whole entire row, you know because I'm so goddamn big, flew to Alabama to get a connecting flight. Finally got dropped off in Texas, hailed a cab, the driver didn't speak English, but I didn't care. He understood the address. So he drove me there. I rang the kid's doorbell waited a minute, he didn't answer, so I climbed into his window found out which room was his, bust open the door...
...AND I ATE THAT BITCH!!!
Luke: I'm a motherfuckin' T-Rex! [*T-REX!*] [*ROAR!*]
Doug: I hacked your I.P., 'cause my skills are legit.
Luke: I'm a motherfuckin' T-Rex! [*T-REX!*] [*ROAR!*]
Doug: You thought you could hide from me, Bobby Lou?
Luke: I'm a motherfuckin' T-Rex! [*T-REX!*] [*ROAR!*]
Doug: Like Goldblum said, you're one big pile of shit.
Luke: I'm a motherfuckin' T-Rex! [*T-REX!*] [*ROAR!*]
Doug: Adios, you dumb troll, now you're Jurassic Poo.
Luke:
A predator apex, so show your respects,
'cause I'm a Grimlock bigger than Metroplex.
Not Jonah Hex, or Professor X,
or even Luthor comma Lex
can stop a motherfuckin' T-Rex!
Luke: Hey, I got one more!
Doug: [Do it, man! Do it, man, do one more! Do one more! Yeah!Do it!]
Luke: One more. One more, here I go...
Luke:
Universal execs will make a googolplex!
More cash than those Star Wars or Star Treks.
At the multiplex in your 3-D specs,
you're gonna scream and shit your spandex
'cause of a motherfuckin' T-Rex! [*T-REX!*]
Doug: [Aww! Ain't no way you got one more after that one.]
Luke: Oh, you think I'm out? You think I can't do it again?
Doug: [No way man, no way.]
Luke: Oh yeah, well check this shit out!
Doug: [Aww!]
Luke:
Can't wear a new Rolex, or use a Rolodex,
or put on turtlenecks, because I got no pecs,
but I'll go 12 parsecs, and fast a reflex,
I'll tear you up like you're a fuckin' Kleenex,
'cause I'm a motherfuckin' T-Rex! [*ROAR!*]
Doug: Ha ha ha ha ha haaaaa!!!
Luke: I'm a motherfuckin' T-Rex! [*T-REX!*] [*ROAR!*]
I'm a motherfuckin' T-Rex! [*T-REX!*] [*ROAR!*]
I'm a motherfuckin' T-Rex! [*T-REX!*] [*ROAR!*]
