GOTTA GIRL (M. Ellis)
And here comes Ellis breaking the door down! Everyone loves this song.
Especially me. I remember when we were still in the planning stages of
recording this record we did a show and Ellis was dressed as Jager Man. Jager
Man is a character Ellis plays fueled by Jagermeister. He wears this big orange
Jager helmet and a cape made from a Jager flag. I just thought to myself, 'We
have to have Jager Man on this cd.' Hence 'Gotta Girl'. This band is made up of
4 very distinct personalities and if you come to a show you get to know each one
individually. That HAD to be shown on the cd. I had recently gotten into
KISS' new cd Sonic Boom at the time and decided right there and then that we
needed a GENE song. Hence 'Gotta Girl'. It's loud, in your face and lovable just
like Ellis. The intro guitar line is something I came up with that plays
during the chorus. I like the way this song follows the softest song on the
record. 'Gotta Girl' starts with a light guitar picking line leading you to
believe you've reached the mellow section of the record and then Ellis crashes
in and burns your house down. The words to this song make me laugh every time.
Me and Rob always laugh shouting 'PORN STAR!!!' onstage to this one. It's great.
It's very honest and actually very touching in it's way. I really enjoyed coming
up with all the little lead lines throughout. Always one of my fave things to
do. That's me on the solo. We wanted it to be reminiscent of Ace Frehley's solo
from 'Strange Ways' off 'Hotter Than Hell'. A little bit of Tony Iommi in there
too. That's us with Kurt doing our Beach Boys impression in the chorus. So funny
how this is Pantera meets the Beach Boys.
I Got A GIRL....who can party with best, sings what she knows and then hums the
rest
I Got A GIRL....who likes to show her class, she holds her skirt down so it
don't reveal her ass
I Got A GIRL....who can rock it like a porn star
I Got A GIRL.... who don't care 'bout my car
I Got A GIRL....who loves me through and through
I Got A GIRL....who's nothin' like you
I Got A GIRL....who lays out on the beach
with the moon on her hip and flowers on her feet
I Got A GIRL....with long blonde hair and a diamond in her nose with stars in
her stare
I Got A GIRL....who watches what she eats she sticks to the vegatables and
leaves me all the meat
I Got A GIRL....who loves to prove me wrong
I Got A GIRL....who loves to sing along
I Got A GIRL....who washes all my clothes
I Got A GIRL....who won't drink straight from the hose
I Got A GIRL.... who walks on tippy toes,
She glows, She knows, Horns hold up her halo all for show.
I Got A GIRL....who loves to prove me wrong

I Got A GIRL....that could drive my pick up truck
I Got A GIRL....that i love ta....
Gotta Girl who lays out on the beach with the moon on her hip and flowers on her
feet
Gotta Girl who walks on tippy toes She glows, She knows, Horns hold up her halo
all for show.
