Mr. Thompson Lyrics

Dearest Mr. Thompson won't you sign us to your label
We've got some poppy songs we think you ought to hear
I think we'd work good together making records selling even more
Sign us we'll make money for you please?

We've been writing and playing them and people like it
Bars and Clubs and Parties on the weekends
Me and all the guys have made some records but they're staticky
I think that you'd make better ones then we can

So, Alamo Sounds, please act now
We'll hold out for you
You're sure to win if you sign us in
What else is there to do?

I say no to Mojo, nay to MCA
Take a trip Atlantic... Right on out of here
no to Mojo, nay to MCA
Take a trip Atlantic...
Exclusively yours
I say no to Mojo, nay to MCA
Take a trip Atlantic... Right on out of here
no to Mojo, nay to MCA
Take a trip Atlantic
Yes to Alamo Sounds

Get up off of your back

We don't want to get real jobs we just want to play music
And tour to the north, east, south and the west
Even if we're not big stars I think that we'll make a living
And I won't settle for anything else

So, Alamo Sounds, please act now
We'll hold out for you
You're sure to win if you sign us in
What else is there to do?

I say no to Mojo, nay to MCA
Take a trip Atlantic... Right on out of here
no to Mojo, nay to MCA
Take a trip Atlantic...
Exclusively yours
I say no to Mojo, nay to MCA
Take a trip Atlantic... Right on out of here
no to Mojo, nay to MCA
Take a trip
Yes to Alamo

(at the same time as the next part)
So, Alamo Sounds, please act now
We'll hold out for you
You're sure to win if you sign us in
What else is there to do? (x2)

(at the same time)
I say no to Mojo, nay to MCA
Take a trip Atlantic... Right on out of here
no to Mojo, nay to MCA
Take a trip Atlantic...
Exclusively yours
I say no to Mojo, nay to MCA
Take a trip Atlantic... Right on out of here
no to Mojo, nay to MCA
Take a trip Atlantic
Yes to Alamo
no to Mojo, nay to MCA
Take a trip atlantic... right on out of here
no to Mojo, nay to MCA
Take a trip Atlantic
Yes to Alamo
no to Mojo, nay to MCA
Take a trip atlantic... right on out of here
no to Mojo, nay to MCA
Take a trip Atlantic
Yes to Alamo sounds

Distorted Penguins, formed in 1996, have the most amazing and intriguing story of any band ever, and they are on the mission to revive a lifeless rock & roll music scene. After hiking the United States coast to coast and doing a hundred push-ups (that’s right – one-hundred), they formed the master plan to release the greatest album that will ever slap you in the face like a pimp… that masterpiece is 2005’s Billiam Rockwell.

Having complete independence from the industry and being powered from the beginning by the star brilliance of “Magic” Dave Mussen, the Distorted Penguins have become a household name in the east coast scene. Since Magic Dave’s tragic death in April of 2000, the remaining members of DP have adjusted their line-up in order to keep Dave's message alive. DP has combined power pop, rock, and a horn section to create an energetic and fast-paced style they have deemed “falling rock.”

With a countless number of performances at world-famous rock clubs, festivals, colleges, bars, nightclubs, and community centers, DP has worked feverishly to reach the masses. Because of their versatile style, they have performed with national acts the likes of Blues Traveler, 2 Skinnee J’s, Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, Talib Kweli, Mos Def, N.E.R.D, Rahzel, Jimmie's Chicken Shack, Buzz Poets, Violent Femmes, Blue Oyster Cult, Blessid Union of Souls, My Weakday Night, and O.A.R, to name a few.

In the past few years DP has toured nationally as well as hitting regions of the east coast in order to gain new fans and promote their albums in 100% D.I.Y fashion. Keep it real!
