Trout Fishing In America - When I Was A Dinosaur

Trout Fishing in America es un dúo musical norteamericano con casi cuarenta años de carrera compuesto por Keith Grimwood (bajo, contrabajo y voces) y Ezra Idlet (guitarra, banjo y voces). tomaron su nombre de la novela "Trout Fishing in America", del escritor estadounidense Richard Brautigan. Comenzaron su andadura en 1979 y han publicado una veintena de discos. Su mayor éxito es la canción "When I Was a Dinosaur", que se convirtió en uno de los temas favoritos del Dr. Demento, un famoso dj norteamericano, y sonó con frecuencia en su programa de radio. Han recibido numerosos premios y menciones, y hasta cuatro nominaciones a los premios Grammy, pero sin duda, si alguien oye el nombre de Trout Fishing In America lo relacionará enseguida con esa canción que habla de qué pasaría si fuese un dinosaurio:

Aquí dejamos la letra:

Oh, I used to be a dinosaur

I thought I was so cool

Future fossil fuel

That's all I ever was

When I was a dinosaur

Everybody knew my name

(Hey aren't you T-Rex?)

Everyone respected me (Wow!)

I had a mighty roar

When I was a dinosaur

When I was a dinosaur

I almost weighed a ton

I had a lot of fun

Cavemen on the run

When I was a dinosaur

I stepped in lots of mud

I walked around and

Snapped my teeth

And ate a lot of crud

When I was a dinosaur

I had a little bitty brain

I never thought of anything

I never knew before

When I was a dinosaur

When I was a dinosaur

I thought I was so cool

Future fossil fuel

That's all I ever was

When I was a dinosaur

That's all I ever was

That's all I ever was
