Song information
This composition is a truly a foray into the absurd. Ennio Morricone, the Doors, and Junior Brown serve as the conscious inspirations for this song. Who knows who all the other unconscious influences might be! Regarding the storyline, I rehashed some tired sci-fi tropes and put them into a new context. Stay tuned for the full-length feature film to be released next year—well, maybe not. 🤣

Lyrics
Verse 1

Way down in Arizona. Near Woods Canyon Lake. A bushy-trailed creature lurks in the forest, this one’s not a fake.

His poor heart is breakin’. His body is quakin’ as he twirls. The locals are worried. They say “he’s a menace to the world.”

They start shoutin’, “Kill the mutant squirrel!” 
Por favor, no maten a la ardilla.

Verse 2

The law called out for choppers, a posse, and a medicine man. They set out some bait, but it was too late. The beast foiled all their plans.   

Into the canyon with PETA companions and some girls. He scurried and scampered and chased all the campers, and the burros. 

They were screamin’, “Kill the mutant squirrel!” 
Por favor, no maten a la ardilla.

Bridge

His freakish size was an accident in a Phoenix lab. Genetic engineering, bad serum, and a lightning stab. Released him in the wilderness, hoping he’d be free. 

What they didn’t know, what they didn’t plan, couldn’t see, what a sly pest he’d be.

Verse 3

Apache pilots were joking. “Our mission is rodent control. We’ll smoke that joker with a Hellfire missile. Watch him toast and roll.”

The critter evaded when it heard the rotor blades whirl. It stoked its anger, fur on the back began to curl.

What came next, then, revenge of the mutant squirrel.

Outro 

I’m crazy from the heat.

I’m dried out in silence.

I’ll hide out in shyness.

I cried out with violence.

I’ll die out with science.   
Description of Ai usage
AI was used for the electric piano, mellotron, organ, and bass on the outro. Drums On Demand and Monkey Beat drum loops were used. Percussion and sound effects are Apple loops and other YouTube tidbits. The main vocals and backing vocals are my own voice that have been AI reprocessed through ReSing. The outro vocals are a combination of Apple loops and ReSing modification of my own voice. I played all the guitar and most of the bass parts. Lyrics and compositional structure are my own. The final mix was AI assisted. AI artwork courtesy of Google Nano Banana and Sora.
