about

Funky D: Another “chase the Toad” starter, but this time we arranged around his riffs as a band. The ridiculous chorus lyrics sprung from one of those goofy clownin sessions after your band mates pack up their instruments and go from being your coworkers to your friends, just tryin to out do each other for the dumbest thing that can be said. Nothing clever came of it, obviously, but it was good bonding, so it stayed in the picture. We realized we had a love letter to our funk heroes with this one, so we might as well name check a few favs in the verses. A little round robin of Zappa/Stalling gesturing in the bridge gives way to multiple drumgasms, into a feature Inception cover of Betty Davis’ “If I’m In Luck I Might Get Picked Up” starting as a placeholder that could not be replaced. And if you don’t know who Betty Davis is, run, do not walk to remedy this!

lyrics

My ears are plugged by Daptones
My bladder’s filled with Sly Stone(s)
Blood pressure spikes thanks to Grace Jones
My lungs collapse like Maceo’s

Hot funky delirium
Groove Illusion
Hot funky delirium
Stanky fever all night long
Hot funky delirium
Boiling down my cranium
Flatline from a phat bassline

Cold sweats are pourin outta me
Dr. Funkenstien‘s bill’s too hefty
Even the nurse rejects me
Cuz Im insured by the Funk Agency

[Quotation from Betty Davis’ “If I’m In Luck I Might Get Picked Up”]
