Girls in Jettas (with cell phones)

about

This is a 4-track cassette demo that I made in 2002 in my bedroom. Cell phones were a pretty new thing then. So were CD burners. I hooked up my Tascam cassette recorder to the CD burner with an RCA-to-eighth-inch jack (I remember the plastic surrounding the jack was sea-foam green) and somehow transferred this to digital on an old PC that Faux Jean drummer Grinder had built for me. Obviously, I made the transfer excruciatingly loud. It is a document of that time.

lyrics

Girls in Jettas with cell phones
Girls in Jettas with cell phones
Girls in cars, go to bars
meet the boys then drive them home
After work after class
On the phone they talk all day

They're girls in Jettas with Cell phones
Drive all Night and sleep all day
They're girls in Jettas with Cell phones
Where do you put your handy when you go to sleep

Girls and boys
Get their toys
Cause they know it's time to play
Set your ring to "Für Elise"
I'll set mine to just vibrate

Vibrate!

Girls in Jettas with Cell phones
Work all day and drive all night
Girls in Jettas with Cell phones
Sleep all night to drive all day

Off to work
or after work
or after school
she got a job
unless daddy paid
in which case
I think you know who you are
You're Girls in Jettas with Cell phones
Girls in Jettas with Cell phones
Girls and boys
Girls and boys
Girls and boys
Girls and boys
Girls and boys
and boys and girls
