Einstein's Monkey - Pet Dinosaur

Einstein's Monkey es un dúo que surge de la unión de dos músicos que crecieron viendo a los Monty Python, oyendo a Iggy Pop y bebiendo Jolt Cola. Ellos son B Bagby, profesor asistente de tecnología de día, compositor musical de noche, y Jeff Hofmann, que ha tocado en multitud de bandas de diferentes estilos participando en una veintena de discos. Ambos decidieron comenzar a componer canciones de rock para niños, con honestidad y de calidad.

Su primer disco se tituló "Banana Yellow" y se publicó en 2008. Citan a Nirvana, The Cars, Johnny Cash o Peter Gabriel como influencias y el resultado es una colección de canciones con historias muy variadas destinadas al público infantil. Entre ellas, "Pet Dinosaur", que habla de una mascota dinosaurio y los problemas que ello conlleva. El vídeo musical es una pieza de animación realizada por Brian Bear. Ahí lo dejamos:



La letra de la canción es la siguiente:

I’ve got a new friend,
I’ve got the most amazing pet
I’m not sure how I’m ever going to get him
to the vet
He’s green and purple and not very furry
at all
He’s really good at running and he’s great at catching
when I throw the ball

I’ve got a pet dinosaur
He’s growing every day
Last month he was the size of head
but he’s even bigger, today

Well my pet dinosaur, he’s my best friend,
he’s my confidant
With just one look in his eyes
I always know just what he wants
We go out to the park to play catch
in the sun
People stare, people scream, children smile,
and grown-ups run

I’ve got a pet dinosaur
He’s growing every day
Last week he was the size of my bed
but he’s even bigger, today

When I first brought him home
and asked mom & dad
if he could stay
I could see in their eyes that
they didn’t know quite what to say
But he wasn’t very big
and he wasn’t frightening at all
Who ever knew he’d grow up to be so tall?

I’ve got a pet dinosaur
He’s growing every day
Three days ago he was the size of my room
but he’s even bigger, today

When he was a young
he chewed a bit on the couch
Occasionally he had an accident in the floor,
if we forgot to put him out
Three thousand paper towels
and two tons of newspaper later
I’m happy to say he’s house broken
but he annoys the neighbors

I’ve got a pet dinosaur
He’s growing every day
Yesterday he was the size of my house
but he’s even bigger, today

Today he’s the size of my block,
I hate to see how big he is next May!
