Story of a Song: "4:36pm"
An early mix of the new Bob Spelled Backwards single, "4:36pm", is posted on the Bob MySpace page. Let us/me know what you think!
Although this mix is already light years beyond any previous Bob recording in quality, it is still early and raw.
About the song:
"4:36pm" adds another chapter to the epic tale of Monster N, along with previous classics, "Theme From Monster N", "Monster N Destroys the World" and "Ballad of the Fifty Foot David Bowie" (also included on the yet-to-be released record). You will learn to say his name.
The story of Monster N, as it stands:
Monster N is a plastic Godzilla-like Dinosaur model who was manufactured for use in stop-action monster movies during their heyday. Through as-of-yet unexplained events, Monster N gained sentience and was imbued with the same megalomaniacism that the characters he portrayed possessed. He escapes from the movie lot and plans his ascent to notoriety. After successfully suing the movie industry for royalties from the many movies he was used in without compensation, his desire to be a real, bona fide monster drives him to hire top Hollywood special effects artists to help in his quest to be feared by all humanity.
He also has infinite atomic power...in a 6 inch radius.
"4:36pm" tells a key chapter in the tale. We meet up with our monster having fallen in love with a beautiful girl who rejects his advances due to his plasticness. In his anger and bitterness, and in his desire to impress the girl so that she will realize she should love him, he has plotted the destruction of New York City. The song takes place on the eve of the execution of his plan, which is set to go in motion the following day at 4:36pm.
