Story Behind The Song

A theme song originally written for a documentary film of the same name.

Song Description

Upbeat, strong paced, comedic song about the various nerds/geeks in the world. The song likens them to a toy that sits on a shelf and doesn't sell particularly well (a "Pegwarmer").

Lyrics

They wear Vulcan ears, White plastic suits
or cloaked and hooded like Jedi
Some wear chainmail, others wear wigs
and even the odd, Redeye.
Jedis have lightsabers, troopers use blasters and knights like to swing their big swords.
The ones collecting toys, comic books and games are almost too nerdy for words.

They meet up on line, they mingle at fairs
and they all enjoy good clean fun
But don't let them quote the Holy Grail
or you know they'll never be done!

Pegwarmers, that everyone tends to walk by
Pegwarmers, on the shelf 'til their $2.99
Pegwarmers, shunned like we were in High School
But that's what make's them cool!

They're the ones that stand in line for days
and wear a costume to opening night
you may worry about their sanity
but most are completely all right

They might be from Vulcan, Edmontooine
or back in medieval days
they are doctors lawyes and clerks by day
but they have fun in fantastical ways

They do it for the kids, the wow effect
or just to be told they look cool
and even without their twelve sided die
they will challenge your ass to a duel!

Pegwarmers, that everyone tends to walk by
Pegwarmers, on the shelf 'til their $2.99
Pegwarmers, shunned like we were in High School
But that's what make's them cool!
nobody want them, there's too many made
on the shelf they sit, alone and remain
that's. what, makes! them! coo-oo-ool!
