Amino Man is the 13th track of The Aquabats! release The Aquabats! vs. The Floating Eye of Death!.
Amino man is about bodybuilders who live at the gym and are fitness freaks. This song was originally written by Dexter Holland of the Offspring who offered a demo to The Aquabats for it's organ-based ska style. They took it and wrote lyrics based on what it sounded like Dexter was saying - and in true Aquabats fashion, tweaked the song into a totally different new-wave rock style.
Lyrics[]
- Now you've seen him round the fitness club at night
- Pumping those weights like he's running out of time
- Gotta bench those reps, gotta burn that fat
- He's got a flat top cut and a wicked ponytail in back
- And a fanny pack! AAHHH!!
- Yeah - He's Amino Man
- Yeah - With an oily tan
- Yeah - He's got to prove it to himself
- He's changing into something
- Yeah - He's Amino Man
- Yeah - With the bottle tan
- Yeah in the mirror he sees himself
- Turning into something else
- Now Amino Mans got a problem with his size
- 2 part muscle, 1 part goon
- Chemicals help him cut back on the pain
- But he got so big he ran out of skin to strain
- He popped his brain
- Yeah - He's Amino Man
- Yeah - With an oily tan
- Yeah - He's got to prove it to himself
- He's changing into something
- Yeah - He's Amino Man
- Yeah - With the bottle tan
- Yeah in the mirror he sees himself
- Turning into something else
- Where are his eyes?
- Where are his eyes?
- Somethings got to give
- Where are his eyes?
- Where are his eyes?
- Somethings got to give
- Where are his eyes?
- Where are his eyes?
- Somethings got to give
- Whoa yeah!
- Whoa yeah!
- Whoa yeah!
- Whoa yeah!
- He was a lot like you
- You better think about it baby
- Whoa yeah
- He was a lot like you
- Now he's Amino Man
- Whoa yeah
- He was a lot like you
- You better think about it baby
- Whoa yeah
- He was a lot like you
- Now he's Amino Man
- Whoa yeah
- He was a lot like you
- You better think about it baby
- Whoa yeah
- He was a lot like you
- Now he's Amino Man
Trivia[]
- It was rumored that Dexter Holland of The Offspring sang the back-up vocals for this song. It is actually just Jimmy The Robot impersonating Dexter's "whoah-oh"s.
- Some demo lyrics for this song at the beginning of the second verse are "He's the beefcake man in a skin balloon", but it was cut for obvious reasons.
