Nobody gets hurt when you're hangin' with Arnie
He shoots to kill, he don't clean up the mess
Nobody gets hurt when you're hangin' with Arnie |
Peter Cross is the songwriter, the singer, the arranger, and the producer.
Commentary:
Of course, this song is about Arnold Schwarzenegger who was my son Alex's favorite movie star in 1995.
I asked Alex to suggest a subject for me to write a song about and right away Alex came up with this title. I
tried to write something but no ideas occurred to me at that time. For some unknown reason, the song came to me in
January of 1996 in one of those flash bursts of inspiration and it got recorded immediately. The line about The
Weapon Shops of Isher towards the end of the song is a reference to my all time favorite science fiction book by A.E. Van
Vogt. If anyone out there knows what the Doomsday machine actually refers to and uses the contact form at the top of
this page to write me the answer, they will get a prize from Starcrost Productions.
2004 Update: Well, Arnie is Governor of the entire State of California now.
The man is obviously leading a charmed life that is beyond description and no one could have ever written a movie
script for him to star in that could possibly be as interesting as his real life has become, including the movie True Lies
(sorry Jamie Lee, but Maria got the real part). Now in hindsight, Alex picked one hell of a subject for a song and
one has to wonder whether something I wrote could be potentially dangerous for either one of us from those men in black
with the dark sunglasses. I mean, I don't have any bombs, grenades, rocket launchers, flame throwers, or claymore
mines, not to mention laserrrzzzzzzz!
