This was a challenge from my brother, to do something with the 70s novelty tune made famous by the Muppets. IIRC the original comes from a racy Swedish movie,

Snebley String Quartet in Concert at the Stockton Tractor Pull

Fascinating Rhythm

Tony Corman's RPM3 jazz Trio exploits the beauty of the 7-string guitar M3 tuning system in renditions of tunes from the Great American Songbook, Brazilian bossa nova, jazz tunes and Tony's originals. Mellow, swinging, subtle, atmospheric jazz.

where or when

Verse 1

From a downward-facing dog, to the backside of a hog
I got all the things a man could want right here,
Living' by the Frisco Bay, drinking triple IPA,
Doin' yoga, eatin' bacon, drinkin’ beer

Verse 2

When my workin' day is done, savasana's lots of fun,
Lyin' face-dpwn on a mat, just trying' to chill
Then I head out to the bar, order up a frosty jar
Pound an amber, in my spandex, dressed to kill

Bridge 1

It's a long road to nirvana, and a man'll surely wanna 
Have a foretaste of the afterlife right here
While I'm workin' on asanas, doin' hot-box pranayama
I can't help but think about a frosty beer

Verse 3

Got an order on the side, thick-cut bacon, crispy-fried,
Smoked in applewood and served up golden brown
In my heart I'm satisfied, Frisco-Bay-style glorified,
Chowin' down on bacon served up by the pound

Bridge 2

Well I'm stretching' for ananda like a yoga anaconda
And my atman is half-way to purified.
When the heavy liftin's done, I'll be sittin' down to one
Frosty pitcher with a rasher on the side.

Verse 1 again

From a downward-facing dog, to the backside of a hog
I got all the things a man could want right here,
Living' by the Frisco Bay, drinking triple IPA,
Doin' yoga, eatin' bacon, drinkin' beer

Live at Stuckey's

Doin' Yoga, Eatin' Bacon, Drink' Beer (voc. Evan Klein-Corman)

This is night music, folks, an original slinky Purdie shuffle. Sultry solos from Larry De La Cruz on tenor, and Bill Ortiz on trumpet, mix by Howard Lindeman. All the folks below were incredibly generous, tracking and mixing pro bono during the 2020 lockdown to bring you this musical nourishment. I thank them from the bottom of my heart for bringing it once again!
