Rex Bob Lowenstein Songtext
von Burrito Deluxe

There′s a disc jockey in Hartlinburgh
He works at W.A.N.T.
He puts 2 or 3 eggs in him
Then he's in your car by 6 a.m.
He lives for his job and accepts his pay
You can call and request Lay Lady Lay
He′ll play Strange Cheese, U2 and Little Feat
And he even plays the band from the college down the street
And his name is Rex Bob Lowenstein
He's 47 going on sixteen
His request line is open but he'll tell you where to go
If you′re dumb enough to ask him why he plays Hank Snow


Well he trys to keep his talking to a minimum
He′s a Democrat, He's a Republican
He′s a mad man with a great voice say some
But when he spins those records he's neither one
He talks to the truckers on the interstate strip
The housewife and the car dealership
When his second wife left him for a paper millionare
He cried unashamedly right on the air
And his name is Rex Bob Lowenstein
He′s 47 going on sixteen
His request line is open but he makes no bones
About why he plays Madonna after George Jones

One day a man in a pin striped suit
Took the owner of the station to a restaurant booth
His pitch was simple "You'll increase your sales,
if you only play the song lists that we send you in the mail"
He guaranteed a larger audience
Less confusion and higher points
"But your drive time jock won′t get to do his thing,
Hey he's not half bad, tell me what's his name?"

Well his name is Rex Bob Lowenstein
He′s frequently heard but he′s seldom seen
His formula's simple
and his format′s big
I just play it till you call and tell me what you dig!


Now Rex Bob David Sol Lowenstein
Quit his job a week later but before he leave
He locked and bolted the control room door
And played smash and trash till they cuffed him on the floor
Well they drug him into court and the judge said
"Rex... I gotta lock you up... for what I'm not sure yet
But your boss here says he thinks you′re wrapped too tight...
But by the way, thanks for playing Moon River last night"

And his name is Rex Bob Lowenstein
He's a framing bill inside a tamborine
He could play it all if he was just set freeeeeeeee...
Just to find what the people W.A.N.T.
Just to find what the people W.A.N.T.
Just to find what the people W.A.N.T.
Just to find what the people W.A.N.T.
