From the band's own website:
"The Movers – Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty -- began in New Orleans in 2003 and now are fast-rising stars on the national kids music scene thanks to their combination of radio-friendly songs, kid-friendly themes and dynamic live shows. In concert, the Movers teach high-energy dances, play games with the audience and make music on their one-of-a-kind trashcan drumset. Kids and parents help perform new kids classics like “Shakable You,” “The Medicine Song,” “What’s in the Fridge?” and "I Want My Mommy (Time for Bed).""
and:
"In 2007, Disney Channel green-lighted a Movers television series for Playhouse Disney featuring Rich, Scott, Dave and Smitty as blue-collar brainstormers working hard to solve “idea emergencies” in their Idea Warehouse, a clearinghouse of infinite inspirations. Through songs, stories and skits, the Movers move kids to exercise their bodies and brains."

"Rock-O-Matic" is a song about turning up the volume and feeling the music. It encourages the listener to let go of any stress they may be feeling and enjoy the good stuff. The lyrics also suggest that music has the power to inspire and improve any situation.
The song begins with a command to "Cut through the static" which can be interpreted as cutting through any negativity or hurdles that may be in the way. The chorus repeats the idea of turning up the volume before introducing the real instruments, which are emphasized in the subsequent verses. The drums are described as going "bang bang boom" and bass as "stomping and pumping through" while the sound of the guitar makes the walls shake and do double takes. The final verse acknowledges the power of music to help in any situation and the song closes with an optimistic instrumental outro.
