Yo-British Invasion - sailed in, On Muddy Waters DNA, Put 3 trillion
green backs into the EU, And PRC today! Fifty years ago, the world
as we knew it changed forever as a result of the USA’S R & B and
Rock-fed “British Invasion.” Along with the recent global ascent of
urban music, the new horizon of global entertainment is awakening to
a new CLE-led “China Invasion.”
“The Future of “Rock & Roll” is a Global CLEVELAND - China Exchange…
to the nine’s this time, we did it before and we’ll do it again!”
And that invasion is unique. It is a first in global demographic
terms! There are Chinatowns located in every major and secondary
market on earth. The global “China Invasion” will naturally be
kicked off musically from Cleveland, The Rock & Roll Capital of the
World!” Truth be told, Where Cleveland Goes, so Goes the Globe!
Made in Cleveland (TBT) Lyrics:
“Ad-lib”: “Say! Truth Be Told. Where Cleveland Goes so Goes the
Globe;”
1) Cleveland is the starting place of,
A lot of global dreams,
Business, entertainment, sports,
And amazing things;
“Ad-lib”: “Phantasmagoria”
2) Can’t argue with our gifts,
No city on earth competes,
CLE-Land-minds - built-up-mankind,
Think before you speak;
“Ad-lib”: “Cleveland ain’t no Joke”
3) The First Dragons,
The Yellow man got it right,
“Yin and Yang” check it out,
Before you dumb-down tonight;
“Ad-lib”: “Heights High will hit Deep Blues”
4) CLE Rock Spirit changed the world,
In “19”- Seven-O,
At that time we gave birth,
To Rockin FM Radio;
“Ad-lib”: “Truth be Told”
5) Forever your best friend,
Our Rock-n-Roll Spirit glows,
From beginning to the end,
Where Cleveland Goes so Goes The Globe;
“Hook”: “Cleveland ain’t no Joke; Truth be told; Where Cleveland
Goes so Goes The Globe;”
Second Verse:
1) Whoa! Four Dead in OHIO, (CSN& Young Melody),

A Beacon of delights - worldwide,
Display what Clevelanders do,
Fills the world with pride;

3) The people of color,
“The Roots uh Rock-&-Roll”,
Like the birth of mankind - we all lie,
In their DNA & soul;

On Muddy Waters DNA,
Put 3 trillion green backs intothe EU,
And PRC today;
“Ad-lib”: “Truth be Told”
