about

Imagine you’re suddenly a guru. You’re being asked to speak in front of millions of people, televised worldwide, at a conference for saving the planet. You have 20 minutes to make the PowerPoint presentation. Make it worth our while. Don’t forget about the fact that you’re super crabbed about just becoming a guru and everything.
I thought of the first version of Make Less Babies when I took my dogs to the park and it was full of trash. Litter pisses me off. Add to that my dogs eat up anything remotely food-like. All I thought of was the tempo and the lyrics. When I’m frustrated, I become sarcastic. This song could be a modern take on the 10 commandments. A modern Guru doesn’t command anything though, he/she/they share suggestions. Tips.
Suggestions and tips that could help people save the earth and humanity a little. Totally in the wrong order, not covering everything. Lots of the words are just saying “don’t be a dick” more friendly. Since our band is called TheGuruGuru, I felt we needed more guru-like messages providing insights that are, though incomplete and sometimes debatable, helpful to the world. Even though there are many economical objections to be made to the tip “make less babies”, don’t we need a planet to build and sustain that economy on, in whichever shape?
The first version, in my mind, would have a dreamy uplifting chorus with a “we are the world”-like sung message to bring contrast. Turned out the song didn’t need a dreamy chorus. The bridge later did add a different kind of contrast that makes everything sound much more sincere in the end.

lyrics

Make less babies
Use different plastics
Biodegradables
Ain't extra terrestrial

Don't suppose maybies
Disregard the tactics
Why so relatable
Why don't you try at all

Don't litter feces
You don't drive fantastic
No one is immortal
Everyone has rights

Don't whistle at ladies
Keep your pee pee in your pants
Is nothing reliable
Is that why you don't try at all

You don't have to dance
You don't have to shake hands, just
Make less babies

You don’t have to make amends
Just give everyone a chance and
Make less babies

Take less planies
Isolate your attic
Don't throw sustainables out your window

Oat milk can be tasty
Do you need to eat all that meat?
You could consume less power
We were all given feet

You’re too lazy
Me too, it's fine
Give everyone a break
Take five out of five
Just check plural sources
Before spreading panic
Keep your hands to yourself
It’s basic but it’s drastic

You don't have to dance
You don't have to shake hands, just
Make less babies

You don’t have to make amends
Just give everyone a chance and

You don't have to dance
We don't have to be friends
You don’t have to take chance
You’ll find everything advanced
If you don’t listen to guru’s
You don't have to shake hands
You can be a soccer fan
You don’t have to own land
Just give everyone a chance
Buy a ticket to my band
And give everyone a chance
And
Make less babies

The Guru Guru (BE) Belgium

THE GURU GURU has been happily dealing in deep express art rock since 2012, combining feverishly angular guitars with off- kilter, poly-rhythms all complimented by erratic and unhinged vocals.

Praised for their live performances, THE GURU GURU is a must-see... With palpable, electric energy oozing from the stage, vocalist Tom The Bomb balances on the verge of theatrical psychosis. ... more
