Mechazoa sing the blues in this biographical rock song about the tragic and monstrous Montrose the science ape. The second single from the original soundtrack to the original graphic novel Odd Schnozz and the Odd Squad from Oni Press.
lyrics
Human brains, simian brawn,
The engineer was building a weapon.
He did proceed to ignore his colleague,
A chimpanzee bent on sabotage.
Science Ape, he made a big mistake, oh no!
Oh no no no no.
Science Ape, now he's stuck in this state, oh no!
Oh no no no no.
His invention was keen,
A mind transference machine,
He could impose his will over primate beings,
While running some tests,
His chimp arch-nemesis
Destroyed the controls,
Now he's stuck in this breast.
Science Ape, he made a big mistake, oh no!
Oh no no no no.
Science Ape, now he's stuck in this state, oh no!
Oh no no no no.
