about

"Mr. Grubble" is an intense but silly rap song about the story of Pete Grubble who's looking for his brain after losing it in a horrible experiment.

Backstory:

In an alternate dimension of earth’s distant past there lived a peaceful civilization of powerful magicians. With their magic, they created a portal that transported them to our earth in our present time to study our non-magical technology. Unexpectedly, the effect of vitamin D from being exposed to our sun turned them evil, and they immediately started wrecking havoc with their magic.

One of these magicians sold a magic potion to a world renowned chemistry professor named Grenblat. Professor Grenblat was on the cutting edge of chemistry. He was a beloved celebrity in the world of science, but he was secretly evil and was deep into creating mind control potions. No one knew it at the time, but the reason he was able to make so many advances and new discoveries was because he was experimenting on humans to further his own career. One such very unfortunate human was his science colleague, Pete Grubble.

Grenblat tested the magic potion on Grubble, but the experiment went horribly wrong, drastically altering Grubble’s brain. In a panic, Grenblat removed the brain and buried it in his back yard to hide the evidence of his experiment. Fortunately, Pete Grubble happened to be wearing a headband that he had recently engineered which could temporarily keep him alive without his brain.

Now… he needs to get his brain back. He can’t do it alone. And he’s running out of time. What does he do?

LYRICS:

Thirty men with shovels and the sun is beating down.
My feet are hurting, I’ve been searching underneath the ground.
Nine o’clock begins the task we never ask why,
Digging for this guy, his is standing up high.
Digging.
This job has never suited us, somehow he recruited us...
I’m suddenly reminded of when I was free-minded,
Something is controlling us and telling us to find it.

Mr. Grubble quite disheveled
has you with a shovel
digging gravel while he revels standing on another level.
He’s the one over there wondering where
his mind is
Hoping you will find his
Mind in the right amount of time.
Looking quite disheveled standing on another level
Watching thirty men with shovels digging gavel for his brain.

He’s looking down
He has a plan
He’s Mr. Grubble let me help you understand
It never really made much sense, searching for intelligence
Grubble’s brain was buried in a field to hide the evidence
Horrible experiments, terrible experience.
Elixirs have been tested, many went awry
The potions were adjusted after Grubble nearly died.
But Grubble was prepared with an energizing headband
Keeping him alive for a limited time span.
And now he’s up there, he’s overseeing, he’s watching diggers,
He’s counting seconds.

Tis a fine day digging for his mind eh?

Mr. Grubble with the rubble
Has you with a shovel
Digging gravel while he’s on another level quite disheveled
He’s the one over there wondering where
his mind is
Hoping you will find his
Mind in the right amount of time.
Looking quite disheveled standing on another level
Watching thirty men with shovels, digging gavel for his brain.

I was there in his lab when he made a mistake,
So potion I take
But I did not drink.
The label says that it controls what you think.
I left in a hurry, my vision was blurry
My mind was getting weak, and I was getting worried.
Thirty small sips for thirty men is my goal,
Soon enough thirty diggers in my control.
Valid credentials of ingenious potential,
No, It’s all gone, my senses, hidden within the fences.
Dirt!, I got a lead that it’s under there.
Am I just scared, or even aware, that there’s no time to spare?
Professor how dare!
Reconnect me with IQ, I don’t like you.
So precious is hidden, my head is forbidden to grasp simple task.
How long will the potion last?
How long will the head band last?

Mr. Grubble with the rubble has you with a shovel
Digging gravel while he revels standing on another level.
He’s the one over there wondering where
his mind is
Hoping you will find his
Mind in the right amount of time.
