Born on the Couch

Song: "The Birth of the Couch" (Zappa x Daft Punk style – funky electronic grooves, robotic vocoder voices, satirical absurdity) [Intro – Robotic Daft Punk-style vocoder] One two three four… Unconscious… rising… [Verse 1 – Funky, groovy electro-rock] In old Vienna, late 1890s scene A nervous doctor chasing hysterical dreams With Breuer he discovered the power of the word Talking cure, baby, that’s what the patients heard [Pre-Chorus] Repressed desires, they bubble and they boil Id is screaming underneath the royal soil [Chorus – Big, robotic, danceable hook] Psychoanalysis! (Hey!) Born on the couch! Talking through the trauma, take the lid right off! Psychoanalysis! (Hey!) Unconscious call! Freud in the house, turning minds into a ball! [Verse 2 – Zappa-esque absurdity] Dreams of flying, cigars that ain’t just cigars Mother complex, father issues, driving fancy cars He mapped the psyche like a funky subway map Id wants pleasure, Ego says “Relax, take a nap” [Bridge – Daft Punk vocoder breakdown + chaotic guitar solo] Oedipus… Oedipus… Superego judging us… Free association… Sexual frustration… [Chorus – Bigger, groovier] Psychoanalysis! (Hey!) Born on the couch! From hysteria to history, hear the people shout! Psychoanalysis! (Hey!) Changing how we think! Unconscious revolution, let the whole world sync! (Outro – Funky fade with vocoder) “Next patient please… The couch is waiting…”
