lyrics
In a large stack
Of old 8 tracks
A physicist found
Something profound
One-upped Newton
Shopping at Rasputin's
Couldn't believe his eyes
When he found the prize
Otis Redding's disco album!
There's an earth where Big O didn't die
And nobody wrote American Pie
Has that earth had its own tragedies?
Is Otis Redding's disco album one of these?
It's got undeniable grooves
But his voice sounds way too smooth
The album's not that bad
It kind of makes me glad
Quantum theory
Makes me weary
But now we've shown
We're not alone
Many worlds exist
This fact's a gift
On some other plane
We're in less pain
Otis Redding's disco album!
There's an earth where Big O didn't die
And nobody wrote American Pie
Has that earth had its own tragedies?
Is Otis Redding's disco album one of these?
Everything happens somewhere
He lived thru disco over there
They're working on the math
To help us find the path
There's an earth where Big O didn't die
And nobody wrote American Pie
Has that earth's had its own tragedies?
Is Otis Redding's disco album one of these?
Everything happens somewhere
He lived thru disco over there
They're searching for some force
To take us to its source

It's the essence of TMJ to follow up a smart song about the need to forge new memories with a killer that grooves on everything great and awful about the 1970s. Brash, confident, and deeply pleasurable -- and its vibe is punctured by the new old b-side's warning "living backwards in time/losing your mind." As always, TMJ has it all ways, beautifully. Alan S
