The Fantastic Tale of Dr. Moog and the Birth of the Shimmering Beast

It was Trumansburg, New York, 1963
Where Robert Moog began his Main Street factory
It was Herb Deutsch who blew his mind
With his music and design
And together they built the circuits and made history

[Chorus]
Music will never be the same
Because you gave us the synthesizer

The electric buzz of the waveforms called the artists from the east
On Trumansburg they descended
To witness the shimmering beast
Out in the west
Beaver and Krause turned on the heads in the Monterey
And Sun Ra flew in the space probe with his Model B
Bordemn and the Mallards, they really took flight
Casting mantras and patterns and numbers into a virgin New York night
Then Wendy switched on her noise and there was no turning back
From Nashville to Popcorn, the Moog was everywhere

Music will never be the same
Because you gave us the synthesizer

Music will never be the same
(It will never be the same)
Because you gave us the synthesizer
