MAESTRO - Possibility
They say I’ve got spunk
They say I’ve got spark
They say that I am different
That somehow I’m more than the sum of my parts
I can be a guitar!
But I’m also a horn,
I’m also a saxophone
Maybe a trumpet, and a dash of cello
And still…it's why I was born
Am I a mistake?
A transformer that blew?
Or do I have a destiny entirely new?
I was almost a failure
A box on the shelf
A hot new invention
A Genesis unto myself
‘Cause I am the first
A brand new attraction
The reason Keith Richards can’t get satisfaction
And still…it's why I was born.
I have so many possibilities
There’s so many things...that I can be
No one knows...just what I can achieve
Don’t worry, dads. I’ll make you proud of me.
‘Cause, I’m the...FZ!
(pause) Well, technically, I’m the FZ-1.
TONE BENDER - Better Than You
I’m a bad metal pedal
The OG box of rock
Check your watches, ladies
‘Cause it’s Tone-Bender o’clock
I’m the new and improved
Bro, I’m better than you
So you better step aside
Better yet, run and hide
Yo, you can’t even sustain.
I hold notes that blow your brain.
Sound so good that it’s profane
Drive the engineers insane
People sayin’ that I'm great.
Truly the art of the state
You just got onto the scene
but you're already too late.
Ooooh, sick burn!
I’m the...Tone Bender
Jammed with Ronson, Beck and Page
I’m the...Tone Bender
Bowie had me center stage
I’m the...Tone Bender
I made Clapton a sensation
I’m the Beatles’ inspiration
Gave Pete Townsend palpitations
I’m the...Tone Bender, baby...
I AM...the British Invasion
FUZZ FACE - Everybody Loves This Face
Ask David Gilmour who’s his main squeeze
Ask George Harrison if I’m just a tease
Ask Jimi Hendrix why he chose me
It’s easy....
I am smokin’ hot.
Everybody loves this face
Honestly, what’s not to love?
Everybody loves this face
It’s the visage that you’ve all dreamed of
I’ve got style
I’ve got class
I’ve got charm comin’ outta my...nose
Everybody loves this face
Magnifique!
I’m the utmost in beauty and grace
That’s why everybody loves this face
Dance break!
Do I have any depth?
Or is that just a stretch?
Am I just a round face?
Heh, who cares? I’m a catch!
Call me a cab, ladies! We’re takin’ it home!
I’ve got style
I’ve got class
I’ve got charm comin’ outta my...nose
Everybody loves this face
I’m unique!
Magnifique!
I’m the utmost in beauty and grace
And everybody loves this face
WAH - Everything’s Crap
Everything’s crap
Trust me: everything’s crap
Oh, don’t look so surprised
People, open your eyes
Because everything’s crap.
I’m a fraud and a clown
I’m the not-real-McCoy
So no wonder I’m down
Life’s a big ol’ killjoy
Everything’s crap
Say it: everything’s crap
I was made for guitar
But a joke went too far
Casher’s ready to snap
There’s no point to my life
It’s all heartache and strife
Because--
I’l help Hendrix at Woodstock,
Frank Zappa loves me
The Yardbirds and Cream
Can’t get enough of me
Will my Wah really carry
Musicians to glory
Will my Wah really make
Such a change in the story?
As I stand here aghast
Could my life change so fast?
Is my suffering past?
Nah. This won’t last.
OCTAVIA - What You See Is What You Get
With Octavia...
What you see is what you get
I live my life on my own terms
Not an inkling of regret
I’l take things up an octave
Then I’ll smash it all to bits
It’s unruly. It’s unholy.
Trust me, baby, it’s a hit
With Octavia
What you see is what you get
I’l combine it all, then burn it
Like an eight-bit cigarette
Am I sweet on the inside?
If you dig deep enough?
Nope, I’m bad to the bone
Queen of Mean on my throne
With Octavia
What you see is what you get.
Nails on a board or breaking glass
I’m a step above the rest
The soundtrack to the nightmare
That you don’t want out of your head
Others will come and intimate
But they’re just a silhouette
I’m Octavia
What you see is what you get
UNI-VIBE - Not Really Here
You think you can see me
But I’m not really there
You think you can touch me
But I’m nothing but air
People try to define me
Am I chorus or phasing?
But the truth is I’m more
I’m astounding, amazing
So the question is...who?
Is anyone there
Who will use me, my movement,
My flight through the air?
Does anyone dare?
Don’t be scared, Jimi James
You aren’t up here alone
When the words aren’t enough
I can be a voice for you
When your voice feels too weak
Let my pulsing notes speak
We’ll show with guitar
What goes on in this war
It’s nine in the morning
And an era is ending
Let that fuzz and wah wah sing
Through those six guitar strings
I’m a motion, a movement
So much more than mere words
…I'm a voice to be heard
BIG MUFF - Call Me Muff
How ya doin’?
Just call me Muff
A true New Yorker
A little rough, a lotta scruff
No room for fluff
Just call me Muff
I’m the fuzz who people call when things get tough
I’m the four transistor wonder. Call me Muff.
I got a pedigree that makes the Maestro blush
Invented by two geniuses
‘Cause one just weren’t enough
Just call me Muff
I’m more than a box
Or a pretty face
I’m the winning horse
Headed for first place
A lot has changed
Since ’62
‘Cause this is New York
Not Kalamazoo
I’m the Muff!
I’m the Muff!
Pretty gruff
I got scruff
Tough enough
Ain’t no bluff
I’M THE MUFF!
You see this knob?
Fuggedah bout it!
Its’a tone control
And I gotta shout it
I started on Broadway
It weren’t enough
I’m the new line
I’m King of Fuzz
I’m the MUFF!
Pretty gruff
I got scruff
Tough enough
Ain’t no bluff
I’M THE MUFF!
FINALE

This is the sixties (I can’t get no…satisfaction)
This is the sound (I’m still the British Invasion, With Octavia)
This is a movement (What you see is what)

This is the sound (Everything’s crap)
This is the movement (Cause honestly, what’s not to love) (Everything’s crap)
It’s really loud (Other fuzzes don’t stand a chance) (Everything’s crap)

They say that I am different
That somehow I’m more
than the sum of my parts
