It's "still be rocking us" and I intentionally spelled the title as dumb as possible coz it's a dumb little song about the magic of recorded music, how we can listen to a song again and again and again.. I think Tony Derrick (The Tisdales) was the inspiration for this song, he was on fire in the studio one day and this was when he was with the Hotel Coral Essex. Later the Tisdales re-cut this tune and included it as a hidden track on Bakers Dozen (2008).

lyrics

STIHL B ROKKEN

Had a real good time at the session today
had a guitar picker really came to play
laid everything down in just one take
now we're gonna listen to it every day
and it'll still be rockin' us
still be rockin' us

Sometimes you really gotta know how to let it go
shouldn't take any thought to just let it roll
shouldn't have to say anything to let us know
that's how the best records just seem to flow
and they still be rockin us
still be rockin' us

You all shoulda heard the player that I had today
laid it down electric like Jimmy Page
And he don't even care if he doesn't get paid
the mother fucker really just wants to play and play and play and play and play

And I don't care what kind of guitar you play
and I don't care if your life is just some kind of waste
and you're very likely just a basket case
Lord knows you don't need a pretty face
for you to still be rockin us
still be rockin' us

Come on man, play it buddy, lay it down
we should start a band and take it out of town
You're too good now go and spread your love around
that 20 dollar guitar it has the perfect sound
for you to still be rockin' us
still be rockin' us...
