The Fantastic Tale of Dr. Moog and the Birth of the Shimmering Beast - I Monster

It was Trumansburg, New York, 1963

Where Robert Moog began his Main Street factory

It was Herb Deutsch who blew his mind

With his music and design

And together they built the circuits and made history

Music will never be the same

Because you gave us the synthesizer

The electric buzz of the waveforms called the artists from the east

On Trumansburg they descended

To witness the shimmering beast

Out in the west

Beaver and Krause turned on the heads in the Monterey

And Sun Ra flew in the space probe with his Model B

Bordemn and the Mallards, they really took flight

Casting mantras and patterns and numbers into a virgin New York night

Then Wendy switched on her noise and there was no turning back

From Nashville to Popcorn, the Moog was everywhere

Music will never be the same

Because you gave us the synthesizer

Music will never be the same

(It will never be the same)

Because you gave us the synthesizer
