Bang The Drum All Day (Rosetta Stone Mix) Lyrics


I don't want to work
I want to bang on the drum all day
I don't want to play
I just want to bang on the drum all dayEver since I was a tiny boy
I don't want no candy
I don't need toy
I took a stick and an old coffee can
I bang on that thing 'til I got
Blisters on my hand
BecauseWhen I get older they think I'm a fool
The teacher told me I should stay after school
She caught me pounding on the desk with my hands
But my licks were so hot
I made the teacher want to dance
And that's whyListen to this
Every day when I get home from work
I feel so frustrated
the boss is a jerk

And I get my sticks and go out to the shed
And i pound on that drum like it was the boss's head
Because

Todd Rundgren is an American singer, songwriter, and producer who started in the 60s with the psychedelic band Nazz in Philadelphia. His solo career started out successfully with such hits as I Saw The Light and Hello It's Me (which was a reworked Nazz tune). He formed a band called Utopia (or Todd Rundgren's Utopia) which concentrated on eccentric progressive epics, while also continuing to release solo albums. His production work started early, with work for Sparks and the New York Dolls, and continued with Meat Loaf, XTC, The Psychedelic Furs, and many others.

Todd Rundgren is well known among his fans as being an electronic music revolutionary. His production techniques, and his belief that he has ability to play just about any instrument at a mastery level, allowed him to release some of the most honest and personal music of his time. Many of his solo albums, including Something/Anything were made completely by himself. That is, he played all the instruments, sang all the vocals, did all of the recording, editing, mixing, and mastering, and even distributed the album through his own record label, Bearsville. In the particular case of Something/Anything, there was actually one side (side 4) which featured songs performed by a studio band, placed on the album to show Todd's ability in working with musicians.

For over thirty years now, Todd Rundgren has had a very successful musical career. He recently fronted, recorded and toured with the band The New Cars, which featured two of his own band members, and two of the remaining The Cars members. In addition, he released a solo album in 2004 entitled Liars, which featured the recurring theme of deceit and broken promises. He toured with a strong band for this album, which included his long-time bassist Kasim Sulton, and former The Tubes drummer, Prarie Prince.

On September 29th, 2008 Rundgren released his 20th studio album "Arena" via Cooking Vinyl Records in the UK (Hi-Fi Recordings in the USA), to critical acclaim.

2011 found him covering Robert Johnsons songs on stage as well as on a CD called "Todd Rundgren's Johnson"
