Backstory:
Rapid Butter was formed in the gritty underbelly of Detroit’s music scene in 2012. The band’s three members – lead vocalist and guitarist Zachary “Zack” King, bassist Samuel “Sammy” Looper, and drummer Ben “The Beast” Franklin – were originally part of different local bands. They crossed paths at a small-time music festival and realized they shared both a passion for music that defies conventional boundaries and a love for dairy products, particularly butter. Deciding to band together, they formed Rapid Butter, a name that perfectly encapsulated their raw, fast-paced music and their shared sense of humor. Over the years, Rapid Butter has gained a cult following for their energetic performances and eccentric style, quickly spreading their vibes beyond the Motor City’s bounds and into the global music arena.

“Margarine Dreams”
Full Song Lyrics:
(Verse 1)
[G] I’m slipping down the [D] butter slide,
[Em] Got margarine dreams, can’t [C] run, can’t hide.
[G] My mind is slippery, [D] can’t hold a thought,
[Em] I’m trapped in a [C] dairy haze, all [G] tied in a knot.
(Chorus)
[Em] Margarine dreams, [C] butter reality,
[G] Caught in the middle, [D] lost in this duality.
[Em] Butter me up, [C] spread me thin,
[G] In a world of dairy [D] where do I begin?
(Verse 2)
[G] I’m churning thoughts, [D] like cream to butter,
[Em] Can’t make sense of it, [C] just stutter and stutter.
[G] Life’s like a butter churn, [D] hard and fast,
[Em] But I’ll spread my love, [C] make it last. [G]
(Chorus)
[Em] Margarine dreams, [C] butter reality,
[G] Now I see clearly, [D] it’s my own fatality.
[Em] Butter me up, [C] spread me thin,
[G] In a world of dairy, [D] I’ll wear a grin.
(Bridge)
[G] I’ll melt, I’ll spread, I’ll [D] be your toast,
[Em] In this buttery world, I [C] love you most. [G]
(Chorus)
[Em] Margarine dreams, [C] butter reality,
[G] I’m living, I’m dying, [D] in this buttery fallacy.
[Em] Butter me up, [C] spread me thin,
[G] In a world of dairy, [D] I’ll always spin.
