Lyrics

I'm a little metal frog And that is no joke Come from a radioactive bog The kind where humans choke

A synthesis of machine and life Amphibious excitement I've come to radiate pure joy And shine forth my delightment

Who cares if delightment is not a word I'm a little metal frog, it's so absurd Running for my life from chefs of French restaurants in town I don't know if I'm edible but I'm shiny, green, not brown

Perhaps I'll test my powers Out on unsuspecting kids When they hear my metallic bellow I'm sure they'll flip their lids

The one thing that I fear When it all boils down Is what might make me start to rust And turn my green to flaky brown

Who cares if delightment is not a word I'm a little metal frog, it's so froggin' absurd Running for my life from chefs of French restaurants in town I don't know if I'm edible but I'm shiny, green and brown

Fun. Love the dobro. I can see a whole album of frog songs developing. As long as you leave out the McCartney one...

@coolparadisoMod 5d

Amongst the amazing we need different and fun and here it is in spades! that last verse is a cracker!

@beacon 5d

Silly is some of the best parts of FAWM, but the production and all your contributions as great!

@nadine 5d

I did not know blues about metal frogs is a thing. The instrumentation is such a great idea "Running for my life from chefs of French restaurants in town I don't know if I'm edible but I'm shiny, green and brown" Loool!

@jorh 5d

Uniquely bonkers - didn’t think I’d ever hear a blues song about a metal frog, but it works a treat and is full of joy. Highlights had to be the ribbits, froggin absurd and running from French chef lines - a great palette cleanser, pardon the pun

@spikedirection 5d

I for one welcome our Amphibious Overlords…

That’s some really tasty slide resonator! Awesome work.

@earlyboon 5d

This makes me think of the Muppets(which I adore). I love how you guys collaborated so well with the 'froggy embellishments'. It all went together smoothly and was fun to listen to.

@ductapeguyMod 6d

That is a hoppin ' ditty. Ribbit.

@mandolinda 6d

Smiling as I am listening. That is one special amphibian blues.

@mikeb 6d

Oh no,, the world is going to be taken over by metal frogs before the androids get us! A fun listen. Wonder if there were substances being partaken of during this....

@metalfoot 6d

As the lyricist I can assure you there were no questionable substances in my system (other than Dr Pepper). I just like being silly.

@froggymagee 6d

Just coffee coffee coffee and eggs here haha

@mikeskliar 6d

yeah, just an extra dose of bluesy whimsey! was great fun to do, as you can imagine!

@froggymagee 6d

YESSS METAL FROGGY XD!!!! You guys are awesome

@mikeskliar 6d

back at ya, and @metalfoot too! this was such great fun!

mike skliar brings his rough and rowdy ways to this kiddie song, turning it into a neo-blues extravaganza. i like the combination of the sesame street doo wop with the sometimes gross story of a hippity-hoppity frog trying to stay alive in a frog-eatin' town.
