After grueling sessions of
Guitar Hero 3,
I would often look to the mirror
to my right
and marvel at how
my vision was affected by the game,
with the mirror becoming twisted
and augmented,
slithering across the wall in my living room.
I enjoy playing this game
there are many songs to play,
I haven't played for a while
had lots of fun today.
I am a little rusty
missed notes here and there,
I didn't mind too much though
plucked away without a care.
I play because of the music
enjoy myself when I do,
it definitely is a sure way
to get rid of the Winter blues.

I just wrote another song--I’ve got the lyrics and the chords.
It’s not too short, nor too long, and the melody fits the words.
The majors and minors flow into a nice chord progression,
And there’s a sexy, slow, Latin beat to add a touch of passion.
I’ve not yet made a solo that will dazzle our rock star;
I’ll have the guitar-hero write something for lead guitar.
The drums and rhythm guitar both have parts that came out easy.
But it’s always the bass guitar that has the part that drives me crazy.
The bass guitarist is the guy that makes the band earn its money.
His job is to unify the rhythm, melody, and harmony.
He sets up the next chords for the keyboards and guitars to play—
Ever leading the band forward, rather than watching them run astray.
Chorus (after verses 2 & 3):
I’m trying to find that groove—the one that gets you on your feet,
The one that makes you want to move and boogie in the street.
I’m trying to find that groove, that catchy riff, that walking beat,
That makes all the other grooves sound like something obsolete.
My neighbor plays Guitar Hero III and he has lots of fans.
He's better at it than other people, nobody can play it like he can.
He loves this game and he jams everyday.
He gets the highest score every time he plays.
This is the only game he plays and it really rocks.
He can't put his guitar down, he's king of the XBOX.
Sometimes it gets on his parents nerves because it's pretty loud.
Lots of people come to see it, he always draws a crowd.
People love this game because it's loads of fun.
Nobody can beat my neighbor's score because he's number one.
