Power Off! Power On! (also known by its level name, You Said Anything, Didn't Ya?) is the fifth song you perform in Um Jammer Lammy.

Stage Composition[]

Power Off! Power On! is in A minor at 216 BPM which transitions to G major during the chorus.

Story[]

Lammy and Fussenpepper "land" the plane into a parking lot. As a reward for assisting him, Fussenpepper grants Lammy his dentures (wahwah). Lammy, having a merely 3 minutes until the concert, leaves in a rush only to realize she left her guitar on the plane. Luckily, a guitar store is right next to her, run by Paul Chuck. Lammy has rather detailed guitar demands, while the shop, unbeknown to Lammy, is shown to be entirely out of guitars.

Paul Chuck is uncooperative until Lammy starts to plead at him that "she will do anything" which sparks his interest and suddenly starts a chainsaw. Lammy (fearing some sort of massacre) is handed the chainsaw as Paul Chuck intends to carve one with her right out of a tree. Lammy tries to protest, but gets triggered by Chuck's gramophone playing "Casino In My Hair" and envisions the chainsaw to be her guitar.

Opening Transcript[]

Lammy's Story[]

The plane Lammy and Captain Fussenpepper "lands" it into a parking lot. They both hop out of the door.

Captain Fussenpepper: That was some adventure, ey? (He literally takes his teeth off from his mouth) (muffled) Here, take this with you on your next challenge. (He awards Lammy with the wah wah.)

Lammy: Thanks. Aagh! (Lammy realizes she has only 3 minutes left) I only have 3 more minutes! But I'm close enough now. Thanks, sir! (She runs off, after a while, she stops in the middle of a road) Guitar! My guitar!! Where did I put it?! (She throws stuff out of her pocket, she then realizes she left it on the plane) Oooh noooo! I left it on the plane! Oh... (The same plane from before flies away above her.) I gotta get me a guitar... (She then spots Chuck's Custom Guitars) Hey! There's one! (She runs into the shop, Casino In My Hair starts playing)

Paul Chuck: May I help you?

Lammy: Yeah, uhmmm, I'm looking for, for a guitar

Paul Chuck: What kind?

Lammy: Well, umm..a cool one, with awesome sound and has reclining seats, power-steering, and dual airbags... (She tries to spot guitars like the kind she is looking for, but doesn't find any)

Paul Chuck: I don't have time for jokers.

Lammy: No, no, no no, I'm sorry. I just want one that's cool and cheap, and of course the sound quality's gotta be superior.

Paul Chuck: Oooh, a greedy girl, ain't ya?

Lammy: Oh please, I'll do anything, anything. Pleaseee?

Paul Chuck: Anything? (His right eye flashes with a star)

Lammy: Uh huh?

Paul Chuck starts a chainsaw

Lammy: Wooooaaaaaaaaa! Help!!! Go away!!!

Paul Chuck: You said anything, didn't ya?

Lammy: Aaaaaaaagh!

Paul Chuck opens a door to a forest

Paul Chuck: C'mon, let's make a guitar.

Lammy: Eh, but..but I don't exactly have the time... umm... umm...

Casino In My Hair: Casino here, casino there, casino in my hair.

*ding*

Lammy (Mind): Yeah! My guitar is in my mind.

Lammy: LEAVE IT TO LAMMY!

Parappa's Story[]

A commercial of JoeChinCo. plays

Joe Chin: Folks! Aren't you tired of seeing the same old commercial about preserving nature? Well, when I, Joe Chin talk about preserving nature, I'm more serious than a cockroach running for his life! The Joe Chin Foundation for Natural Preservation was founded just three days ago, and needs your donation. Just send cash, check or your credit card to The Joe Chin Foundation for Natural Preservation now. And I mean NOW. (The commercial changes to another JoeChinCo. commercial) Folks! Aren't you tired of seeing the same old commercial about chains? Well, when I, Joe Chin talk about chains, I'm more serious than a worm trying to escape becoming bait! If you use these Joe Chin Brand Chains, your bicycle will be capable of running over any kind of natural obstacles. Not only that, if you put these chains on to your favorite chainsaw, you'll be able to chop down trees faster than any bulldozer has done before. So pick one up at your local store now. I mean NOW.

Stage[]

Lammy/Rammy/Parappa and Paul Chuck both have chainsaws in their hand and they're carving a guitar into the tree. The background is a forest.

Lyrics (Lammy)[]

Get up turn your chainsaw on.

Power off, power on.

Low gear, high gear.

Come on hurry, hurry hurry hurry, hurry (ha ha!)

No need to worry, worry the tree gonna grow back surely, (ha ha!)

All I wanna hear is you've come over here, There's no foolin around with deers 

Chop all of them down every single one down, Because we're gonna make a guitar with all the timber around. 

(NA version: Come on and get down, way down to the low ground. Then we're gonna make a good guitar with all the timber around.)

NEVER USE JOE CHIN'S CHAINS FOR THEM

Rockin to the beat of the sun, 

Chopping trees down for the fun. (NA version: Knowin that we're here for the fun) 

We gonna make a good guitar, 

by givin all you got.

Come on girl, 

Hurry it up girl.

OK, turn it down, turn it up.

Make sure batteries are charged up!

Give it all you got, every little muscle that you got inside your little bo, body!

I don't wanna hear that you got no time or you're in a hurry to your gig gig, gig.

All I wanna hear is you've come over here, There's no foolin around with deers.

Chop all of them down every single one down, Because we're gonna make a good guitar with all the timber around. 

(NA version: Come on and get down, way single one down. Then we're gonna make a good guitar with all the timber around.)

NEVER USE JOE CHIN'S CHAINS FOR THEM NO!

Jammin, hard slammin, loud banging.

Rockin rollin all night long.

Now that we come so far,

Tell me just who you are,

Are you my shining star? 

Let me see your guitar.


Lyrics (PaRappa)[]

Get up and turn your chainsaw on, 

It’s time to get your power back on

Now let’s start with this tree over here

Cuz I know we need to get in high gear

Come on hurry, I need you to hurry, I thought you’re in a hurry but don’t worry

No need to worry, cuz I know the deal, the trees’ll grow back for sure, that’s for real

Ain't this fun? Having fun in the sun, I like chopping down trees just for fun.

(NA: Ain't this fun? Having fun in the sun, I love rockin’ to the beat just for fun)

Don’t forget uh, I mean for real, My chainsaws rule with the world with appeal.

NEVER USE JOE CHIN’S CHAIN FOR THEM!

Rockin with beat, rollin with the heat

Chopping down trees just for fun!

(NA: Rolling up high in the sun!)

Turn it to the side,

hold it up high

Turn it up high

Hold it to the side

We gonna make a good guitar with this wood. 

So give it all you got girl, I mean for real.

Come on hurry, I need you to hurry, I thought you’re in a hurry but don’t worry

No need to worry, cuz I know the deal, the trees’ll grow back for sure, that’s for real

Ain't this fun? Having fun in the sun, I like chopping down trees just for fun.

(NA: Ain't this fun? Having fun in the sun, I love rockin’ to the beat just for fun)

Don’t forget uh, I mean for real, My chainsaws rule with the world with appeal

NEVER USE JOE CHIN’S CHAINS FOR THEM NO!

Rockin with the beat, rollin with the heat.

Chopping down trees just for fun!

(NA: Rolling up high in the sun!)

Now we come far,

tell me who you are

You must be a star,

let’s see your guitar.

Mode Differences[]

Cool: Paul Chuck will say "I'm out of gas!!" and he will exit the stage leaving you to carve the tree with your guitar that was once a chainsaw. The bear is out of the tree and now swinging its arms and fairy-like creatures occasionally fly in the background while Lammy is circling the tree.

Bad: The tree starts to swing around a bit, some instruments from the instrumental will be replaced into chainsaws, and the bear will try to swing at Lammy/Rammy/PaRappa from the tree.

Awful: The tree starts to swing around a bit with a faster pace, and the entire music instruments from the instrumental will be replaced into a chainsaw. The bear will try to swing at Lammy/Rammy/PaRappa from the tree. And also, the song's melody and structure will be replaced by one.

Trivia[]

  • Paul calls PaRappa a girl in his song, most likely because most of the lyrics are the same from Lammy's song. However, they usually alter lyrics slightly or let Parappa comment on it, such as with "Fright Flight".
  • In the American version, anything Paul said about "cutting down trees for fun" was replaced.
    • Interestingly, "way down to the low ground" appears as "way single one down."
  • What fuel the chainsaw runs on is inconsistent. It's shown to run on batteries ("Make sure batteries are charged up") but also gas ("My chainsaw's out of gas").
