Rocket Scientist
Teddybears Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

I'm not a rocket scientist
I rock the house and sign the tits
And that's it

Don't take no astrophysicist
To make your ass throw fits
Now sista's kick it
I keep it cool like Eskimo chicks on Discovery Channel
I'm hot like Telemundo chicas on a solar panel

See me on daytime TV chillin' in my Bob Marley tee
I'll slap you silly, I'm from Philly
I'm not sorry, that's me

I am the robot Elvis rockin' my bionic pelvis
I'm technotronic sippin' vodka tonics (yeah, I'm selfish)
I am the killer shakin' up some old rock and roll fool
Them drum machines ain't got no soul

I'm not a rocket scientist
I rock the house and sign the tits
And that's it (that's it, y'all)

Don't take no astrophysicist
To make your ass throw fits
Now sista's kick it

This is mission control, what is your status?
Super bitchin'
We read you loud and clear, permission's go to hit ignition
We gettin' static, please repeat your last confirmed position
I'm ten feet tall and solid gold and I demand submission

I am the robot Elvis rockin' my bionic pelvis
I'm technotronic sippin' vodka tonics (yeah, I'm selfish)
I am the killer shakin' up some old rock and roll fool
Them drum machines ain't got no soul

I am the robot Elvis rockin' my bionic pelvis
I'm technotronic sippin' vodka tonics (yeah, I'm selfish)
I am the killer shakin' up some old rock and roll fool
Them drum machines ain't got no soul

I am the robot Elvis rockin' my bionic pelvis
I'm technotronic sippin' vodka tonics (yeah, I'm selfish)




I am the killer shakin' up some old rock and roll fool
Them drum machines ain't got no soul

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Teddybears' "Rocket Scientist" reflect the persona of a self-assured musician, who doesn't possess intellectual prowess but instead relies on the ability to rock the house and sign autographs on women's breasts. The person behind the lyrics asserts that they don't require scientific or academic knowledge, that their music should suffice to evoke a physical response in their listeners. They do not submit to anyone, including mission control, and demand submission.


Throughout the song, the reference to "robot Elvis" emphasizes the character's robotic and mechanical side, a nod to the insincerity of the music industry at times. The use of technology in the lyrics, "technotronic sippin' vodka tonics," further emphasizes the synthetic feel of music and uses sound to express the feeling of how the music is being crafted. The song's hook "I'm not a rocket scientist" and "Don't take no astrophysicist" is the embodiment of the idea that musicians don't often require complex knowledge to make people move and become infused with the music.
