I am the Modren Man
With this guitar in hand
I'll do my best and try
To keep Rock and Roll alive
...Keep it alive
...Keep it alive
...Keep it alive
Don't let it end
Don't let it end
Don't let it end
Don't let it end
I'm gonna keep on rockin' all through the night
Shake it, shake it, baby, 'cause it fells so right
Motivate your body, gonna cure your soul
Keep on rockin' 'til I loose control
Don't let it end
The word "modren" (spelled with the 'r' shown reversed, or mirrored) surfaced in the 1950's as a way to describe contemporary experimental jazz music. The term "modern" was being used at the time describing pop music, such as Elvis and others that formed the foundation for rock and roll music. Jazz musicians needed a word to describe their music--something more modern than modern. Current use of the word is to describe something that is ahead of its time.
