"'''If My Amp Had Wheels'''" iis the seventh track from {{PN|Ozma}} first full-length release, ''[[Songs of Inaudible Trucks and Cars]]''. | |||
The song is notable for its composition credits, as it is the first Ozma song to feature writing credits from the band's three primary songwriters: rhythm guitarist [[Jose Galvez]], lead guitarist [[Ryen Slegr]], and bassist [[Daniel Brummel]]. Galvez [[Ozma_song_explanations_-_2000#Songs_of_Inaudible_Trucks_and_Cars|recounted that he wrote the song]] while still a high school student at La Salle College Preparatory in Pasadena, California. "Ryen and I were bored at our lunch break," Galvez explained in 2000, "so I came up with the bass line, singing it barbershop style, and Ryen came up with the main verse melody over the bassline. [It is] the only Pzma song written without real music instruments." Brummel's contribution would come later. | |||
The song's title came long before the track itself was written. Slegr had previously announced he wanted to write a song titled "If My Amp Had Wheels" after having carried a large "4-ton" Gallien-Krueger amp for use during band practice. Xochitl, a name mentioned in the song (and pronounced "Sochi"), was a friend of both Slegr and Galvez. | |||
