Everybody's Going to Heaven / King Kong Reggae Lyrics


I remember, I remember
What life was like in the yard
'Cause you can't ever think about dyin'
And it just makes a person get hardI keep wonderin'
If my friends feel like I do
I don't know how someone could stand it
To go through what I'm now goin' throughSo every night we party
And every night we get too high
And I put myself so close to death
'Til I think that I ain't gonna dieAnd I realize just a little
Why sometimes I like to feel like dirt
It's the only thing in this day and age
That can make me feel close to the earthBut if I ever get to heaven
If I ever reach that door
I will listen why I had to go through this life
Why they just couldn't take me before?But everybody's going to heaven
'Cause already, we've all been through hell
Everybody's going to heaven

'Cause already, we've all been through hellLaugh all night and cry all day
(Laugh all night and cry all day)
Watch the big monkey do the King Kong reggae
Watch the big monkey do the King Kong reggaeA Cadillac and a Chevrolet
(A Cadillac and a Chevrolet)
Watch the big monkey do the King Kong reggae
(Watch the big monkey do the King Kong reggae)The President of the U. S. A.
(The President of the U. S. A.)
Watch the big monkey do the King Kong reggae
(Watch the big monkey do the King Kong reggae)Everybody fall down on your knees and pray
(Everybody fall down on your knees and pray)
Watch the big monkey do the King Kong reggae
(Watch the big monkey do the King Kong reggae)

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"
