Story Behind The Song

I used to have a robot rat with one flashing red eye. It was supposed to be remote controlled but would frequently spin and run on its own accord. We called it One Eye Red Eye which incidentally in Spanish is uno ojo ojo rojo.

A modern rock doo wop tune about a robot rat

Lyrics

Praises be to the One Eye Red Eye, he is the only one who keeps us alive
He is so magical, unstoppable, ratbot watchdog extraterrestrial.

One Eye Red Eye ratbot (ratbot), watches over the fort/
Keeps his one red eye open for what he is looking for/
He won’t say where he’s from (from), and he won’t say why he’s here (here)/
And I don’t want to ask him for fear he’d disappear.

Protect us ratbot redeye laptop cyborg, angel from the future
Guard us from the evil outside, never let the bad guys shoot ya.

Controlled remotely from the heavens, divinely spinning all around/
Blinking beacon of good fortune, never ever makes a sound/
Mostly keeps to himself, hiding where he cannot be found/
But if you put me in danger, ratbot’s gonna beat you down

Praises be to the One Eye Red Eye, he is the only one who keeps us alive
He is so magical, unstoppable, ratbot watchdog extraterrestrial.

Everybody loves him but no one knows, the kids come round to give him kisses/
Sure is cute when he’s happy, but when he’s mad he sure is vicious/
One Eye Red Eye oh we need you, to keep us all out of harm’s way/
When I sit and think about you, it always makes me want to say

Praises be to the One Eye Red Eye, he is the only one who keeps us alive
He is so magical, unstoppable, ratbot watchdog extraterrestrial.
