The Rebel Black Dot Song of the Day!

The Aquabats!, "Amino Man!" from The Aquabats! vs. The Floating Eye of Death! and Other Amazing Adventures, Vol. 1 (Captain Thumbs Up!)

Commentary: The Aquabats! are SKApril All-Stars, but were also one of the first ska bands to jump ship as the Third Wave receded.
"Now you see him 'round the fitness club at night,
Pumping those weights like he's running out of time,
Got to bench those reps, got to burn that fat,
He's got the flattop cut and a wicked pony tail in back,
And a fanny pack!

"Yeah! He's Amino Man!
Yeah! With an oily tan!
Yeah! He's got to prove it to himself,
He's changing into something—
Yeah! He's Amino Man!
Yeah! With a bottle tan!
Yeah! In the mirror he sees himself
Turning into something else!

"Now Amino Man's got a problem them with his size,
Two parts muscle, one part goon,
Chemicals help him cut back on the pain,
But he got so big he ran out of skin to strain,
He popped his brain!

"Yeah! He's Amino Man!
Yeah! With an oily tan!
Yeah! He's got to prove it to himself,
He's changing into something—
Yeah! He's Amino Man!
Yeah! With a bottle tan!
Yeah! In the mirror he sees himself
Turning into something else!

"Where are his eyes?
Where are his eyes?
Something's got to give!

"Where are his eyes?
Where are his eyes?
Something's got to give!

"Where are his eyes?
Where are his eyes?
Something's got to give!…"
