Lyrics and liner notes[]

Troy Scott was thirteen years old. Troy's brother Kevin was nine. Kevin's friend, Willy Baker also participated in the Theme session. The Theme One cassette featured twenty two different songs. The second side of the tape was recorded first. The first song was titled "Don't Leave". Willy belted out lead vocal as Troy went wild on a Mickey Mouse organ. Troy also provided background vocals with Kevin. Like many songs from the Theme years, "Don't Leave" was an ad-libbed jam. It was Willy who made up the lyrics. "Why d'ya have to leave me? …. Why didn't you take me with you?…." Etc.

The sessions continued with Troy and Kevin recording "Dr. Jekyll".

Dr. Jekyll[]

Written By Troy Scott. Ending tag written by Kevin Scott

Dr. Jekyll took a drink

Dr. Jekyll didn't shrink

But he turned into Mr. Hyde

Hide, Hide

Hide away

'Cause Dr. Jekyll is coming your way

Hide, Hide

Hide away

'Cause Dr. Jekyll,

Dr. Jekyll

Is coming your way

Today

High Sticking[]

At the time Troy and Kevin had an air hockey table. Willy and Kevin began arguing during a game. One accused the other of "High Sticking". The other challenged that there was no such thing as "High Sticking" in air hockey. This conversation was the inspiration for the next song, titled "High Sticking".

Indian Ho[]

Willy Baker told Kevin not to play any instruments in the next song. However when the song was recorded, Willy was absent. Kevin played the tambourine and chanted unintelligible lyrics in "Indian Ho". Troy played the snare drum.

Baby Born[]

Written by Troy and Kevin Scott

The last song of the first session was titled "Baby Born". The organ and xylophone were among the instruments used to record this song.

Earrrly In the morning

Earrrly In the morn

Earrrly In the morning

I heard the horn

Heard the new ew ews

That a new ew ew

Baby, was born

The remaining songs on the second side of Theme One were mostly organ solos performed by Troy.

The songs on the first side of the Theme One cassette were recorded after the songs on side two. This side was made to sound as if it were a rehearsal of the already recorded songs. Most of side one featured an impromptu jam session with few redeeming qualities. The exception was "Stay Away From Mr. Mackay". "Stay Away From Mr. Mackay" was an eerie song that included a bizarre mix of voice, feedback and electronic distortion. The lyrics below may differ slightly to the original performance on Theme One.

Stay Away From Mr. Mackay[]

Written By Troy Scott.

La La

What can it mean?

La La

What's a La La to you?

Everywhere you're walking

You hear in your ear

That La La

To you

La La

Stay away from Mr. Mackay

Bye oh, bye oh

He isn't himself

He's took to much to drink

He's took too much

He's not real

He's nobody

At least that's how he feels

Stay away

From Mr. Mackay

Don't you do like Mr. Mackay

Who is out of it

He's in another world

He's far away

His mind is not controlling him

Stay away from Mr. Mackay

Don't feel bad on what he has to say

For he doesn't mean it

He's just away

And you mustn't go there

According to Reldni documentation an early version of Theme Two was wiped. It is believed that Willy Baker and Troy Scott were present for these pre-Theme Two recordings.
