An original spoken piece / hip-hop song about the frustrations of being a Tyrannosaurus Rex in the modern world.

The idea for this track came from Doug Walker who does a very popular web review show called “The Nostalgia Critic” for Channel Awesome. After having met him at a Chicago event, he approached me asking if I could come up with a piece of music for his forthcoming review of the 3-D theatrical re-release of "Jurassic Park". He wanted an awesome theme song for the Tyrannosaurus, to accentuate just how bad-ass it is. He also had this idea to turn it into a full song of some sort where we hear a T-Rex going about doing mundane things in the modern world, and when faced with anything annoying, it would react in the way a T-Rex should. I composed a basic track for him and provided the chorus vocal hook, which he used in the review and then released the initial version of this song. A year later, I wrote a bunch of additional lyrics for me as the T-Rex to go after Doug's stories/choruses, and with music & mixing help from TV's Kyle, viola, we have "The T-Rex Song (Director's Cut)".
