Push the Better Button

from Street Party (Album) by Eric Din

/

  • Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album

    Berkeley Cat Records is proud to announce the first solo album by Eric Din. Available on CD and Interwebs.

    An actual CD? Why yes, Petunia. In a pretty jewel box, with a beautiful package design and booklet (what, a booklet? Yes, a booklet!) by Peter Montgomery with artwork by Shannon Wheeler, presenting the lyrics in the manner of a classic picture-book.

    Street Party is 13 original songs from the journal of Eric Din, many of which were previewed on this very Bandcamp. No critters were harmed in the creation of these works, though some were cuddled and given fishy-treats. Detailed credits in the CD booklet, and in the individual song pages linked below.

lyrics

The voice was out of tune
But now it’s okay
Shooting for the moon
And now it’s so great
I don't care who’s playing first or last
I just like to mix it on my laptop
You can try to autotune a fish
But when you're done with it
You should try this

Push the better button
I cannot wait
I hear the better button calling me
A super-genius in my own mind
I push the better button
It works every time

I don’t know If anyone can hear
I don't care, the party's up in here
Having fun in my imagination
Gettin’ freaky in my audio station
Push the better button
Play that funky bass line
And two electric gee-tars
Twangin’ at the same time
Drinking club soda and lime

Push the better button
So easy to do
No pressure, you better
We depend on you
Hey, is this my good side?
Is this a better light?
Push the better button
And make our dreams come true

Push the better button
Problems fading fast
Now it's gone viral (oh no!)
History’s in the past (fake news!)
(oh really?) Now we put it on blast
It is to laugh
We’re destined for destiny
What can go wrong?
You have to be kidding
Wow, this works on everything!
Push the better button
Now you give it a try

Hmm, let's see now, I would like
A new president, a sweet girlfriend
World peace, and bunny slippers!
Is it too much to ask?
Don’t answer that
Push the better button
Eureka! At last!
Brilliant, remarkable, outstanding, stunning, exemplary, amazing..
I can’t even stand it! It’s too much
Don’t push.. the better button!

We will have to do studies on this matter
There is no greater example of great examples
Maximize it, quantize it
I am the button-presser
Tra-la-la
Live in cyberspace
Teleconferencing with our loved ones and dates
Blah, blah, blah
Yes, we kick it solo
Mix it and we fix it and we do like we know, so
Push the better button
Rockin' til the dawn
Neighbors put a sign that said
Get off my lawn
Whatever, come over, we love you
We want to get to know you
Push the better button
In the dark before the dawn
In the year that we been gone
Push the better button

I'm a guitarist and singer-songwriter with The Uptones. These are my solo recordings, starting from 2015. I started Berkeley Cat Records in 2019. BandCamp is the first place I publish these puppies, before I send them into the streaming wilds. Wait, you ask, Berkeley Cat Records has puppies? Why yes, Matilda. Thanks for popping in, hope you enjoy the tunes! ... more
