On Fire Take 2

A party tune, written for the Labatt Blues festival :)

Labatt Boogie PUB

Bootik Moosik's version of Georges Harrison's White Album Beatle classic.

Harrison wrote the song as a tribute to his friend Eric Clapton's chocolate addiction, and indeed he derived the title and many of the lyrics from a box of Mackintosh's Good News chocolates. Supposedly all of the confectionery names used in the song are authentic, except cherry cream and coconut fudge. The chorus ("But you'll have to have them all pulled out after the savoy truffle") is a reference to the deterioration of one's teeth after eating too many sweets. 

The Beatles recorded the first take on 3 October 1968 and the final mixes were finished by 14 October. Six saxophonists (three baritone, three tenor) were brought in and were reportedly displeased when Harrison decided to distort their appearance on the recording.

The last Beatles cover from BOOTIK's first opus

You're Gonna Lose That Girl

In simpler times, the original version of this song caused a harpie to be scowled at. Now these hungry, filthy creatures who snatched food, objects and even people screech on TV for more privatize the profits & socialize cost shenanigans... Dirty work indeed ;)

From: Donald Fagen and Walter Becker 
To: Laura Ingraham, Host, MSNBC Television 
Date: February 12, 1999 

Dear Ms. Ingraham:

It has come to our attention that you have used the Steely Dan recording of our song "Dirty Work" as cutaway music at the end of your show last Monday. We understand that "Watch It!" is a political talk show. We have been sternly advised by a valued visitor to our official website that we should steer clear of politics, so as not to embarrass ourselves and our fans. While we recognize that you are clearly not bound by any such injunction, we nevertheless owe it to our admirers to stay out of trouble when we can. So we must regrettably insist that our recordings not be used on future broadcasts of your show.
It seems likely that, as the impeachment saga draws to a close, your show will be cancelled or else will morph into one sort of non-political daytime talk show or another (although certainly not a fashion show). If, for some unfathomable reason, "Watch It!" continues in its present form, may we suggest some other more suitable music for use during breaks:

"Horst Wessel" - Traditional Teutonic anthem 
"Ride of the Valkyrie" - Richard Wagner 
"Theo, Wir Fahr'n Nach Lodz" - 70's German chartmaker 
"The Lady is a Cryptofascist" - by The Welders of Zion 
Anything by Lou Reed, Helmet, or The Velvet Underground
After learning that you were using our music without permission, we looked in briefly on your show this morning. Being the political naifs that we are, we could hardly be expected to follow the learned colloquy between you and your guests. Are they all Ivy Leaguers? Anyway, we did notice that you looked so sad and maybe a little blotchy too. You're not allergic to plaid, are you? We are very sorry to be cracking down like this at what is clearly a difficult and trying time for you and your pals. Please don't take it personally. It's just business. Okay? 

Yours, 

Donald Fagen and Walter Becker 
Founders, Steely Dan

Times are hard 
You're afraid to pay the fee 
So you find yourself somebody 
Who can do the job for free 
When you need a bit of lovin' 
Cause your man is out of town 
That's the time you get me runnin' 
And you know I'll be around 
: 
I'm a fool to do your dirty work 
Oh yeah 
I don't wanna do your dirty work 
No more 
I'm a fool to do your dirty work 
Oh yeah 

Light the candle 
Put the lock upon the door 
You have sent the maid home early 
Like a thousand times before 
Like the castle in it's corner 
In a medieval game 
I foresee terrible trouble 
And I stay here just the same

Dirty Work

A song i wrote while on a Wurltitzer with Teresa... we were both very inspired and the whole thing was done in a very inspired moment. I decided to keep the production uncluttered, in order to showcase Teresa's heartfelt vocal, no auto-tune needed or used :)

Kid Again

From an original song by Schubert, I was commissioned to do a more rock version, it was complex and yet fun to do. A young man called Jean-Kristof did the singing, i did the rest, all instruments, mix and mastering. 
Here's the original:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6v7CneE7whk                              Now compare  :)

Best ever song abour sexal ambiguity by Kinks master Ray Davies

I met her in a club down in old Soho 
Where you drink champagne and it tastes just like cherry-cola [LP version:
Coca-cola] 
C-o-l-a cola 
She walked up to me and she asked me to dance 
I asked her her name and in a dark brown voice she said Lola 
L-o-l-a Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola 

Well I'm not the worlds most physical guy 
But when she squeezed me tight she nearly broke my spine 
Oh my Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola 
Well I'm not dumb but I can't understand 
Why she walked like a woman and talked like a man 
Oh my Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola 
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/k/kinks/lo... ] 
Well we drank champagne and danced all night 
Under electric candlelight 
She picked me up and sat me on her knee 
And said dear boy wont you come home with me 
Well I'm not the worlds most passionate guy 
But when I looked in her eyes well I almost fell for my Lola 
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola 
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola 

I pushed her away 
I walked to the door 
I fell to the floor 
I got down on my knees 
Then I looked at her and she at me 

Well that's the way that I want it to stay 
And I always want it to be that way for my Lola 
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola 
Girls will be boys and boys will be girls 
It's a mixed up muddled up shook up world except for Lola 
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola 

Well I left home just a week before 
And I'd never ever kissed a woman before 
But Lola smiled and took me by the hand 
And said dear boy I'm gonna make you a man 

Well I'm not the worlds most masculine man 
But I know what I am and I'm glad I'm a man 
And so is Lola 
Lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola 
Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola lo-lo-lo-lo Lola

"Sunshine Superman" is a song written and recorded by Scottish singer-songwriter Donovan. The "Sunshine Superman" single was released in the United States through Epic Records (Epic 5-10045) in July 1966, but due to a contractual dispute the United Kingdom release was delayed until December 1966, where it appeared on Donovan's previous label, Pye Records (Pye 7N 17241). The "Sunshine Superman" single was backed with "The Trip" on both the United States and United Kingdom releases. It has been described as having, "proven to be [one of the] classics of the era," and as, "the quintessential bright summer sing along".

"Sunshine Superman" reached the top of the Billboard Hot 100 in the United States, and subsequently became the title track of Donovan's third album, Sunshine Superman.[3] A different mix of "The Trip" (without harmonica) is also included in the album. It was the first product from the highly successful three-year collaboration between Donovan and producer Mickie Most and is generally considered to be one of the first examples of the musical genre that came to be known as psychedelia.

The song was written for Donovan's future wife Linda Lawrence.
The lyrics of the song mention not only Superman, but also another DC Comics superhero, Green Lantern. Chart positions were #1 (US),[3] and #2 (UK). It was Donovan's only single to reach #1 on Billboard's Hot 100 survey.

In popular culture

Writer Grant Morrison referenced the song in an issue of Animal Man by creating Sunshine Superman, an African American version of Superman who was a member of the Love Syndicate of Dreamworld, from a world based on the drug culture of the 1960s. Sunshine Superman and his world were wiped out by the Crisis on Infinite Earths, only to be brought back by the Psycho-Pirate before fading away again. Sunshine Superman returned for a brief, non-speaking cameo in Final Crisis #7, in an army of alternate Supermen.

The song was covered by Dr. Lonnie Smith recorded live on Move Your Hand in Atlantic City on August 9, 1969. It was also covered by The Sugarman 3 on their debut 1998 album Sugar's Boogaloo.
Hardcore punk band Hüsker Dü covered "Sunshine Superman" as a brief 1:56 rendition on their 1983 studio debut Everything Falls Apart.
New York punk rock band Alice Donut covers the song (with changed lyrics) on their debut album Donut Comes Alive.
On their 1987 album Dream Evil, heavy metal band Dio featured a song entitled "Sunset Superman," possibly in reference to "Sunshine Superman."
In 1997, Imani Coppola sampled the instrumental track for her song "Legend of a Cowgirl".

SUSHINE SUPERMAN
Sunshine came softly through my a-window today
Could've tripped out easy a-but I've a-changed my ways
It'll take time, I know it but in a while
You're gonna be mine, I know it, we'll do it in style
'Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine

I'll tell you right now
Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find
Everybody's hustlin' just to have a little scene
When I say we'll be cool I think that you know what I mean
We stood on a beach at sunset, do you remember when?
I know a beach where, baby, a-it never ends
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine

Hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm, hmm
I'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
'Cause I made my mind up you're going to be mine
I'll tell you right now
Any trick in the book now, baby, all that I can find

Superman or Green Lantern ain't got a-nothin' on me
I can make like a turtle and dive for your pearls in the sea, yeah!
A you-you-you can just sit there a-thinking on your velvet throne
'bout all the rainbows a-you can a-have for your own
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine
I'll pick up your hand and slowly blow your little mind
When you've made your mind up forever to be mine

I'll pick up your hand
I'll pick up your hand

BANKSTERS TAKES ALL !
" Of all forms of tyranny the least attractive and the most vulgar is the tyranny of mere wealth, the tyranny of plutocracy " - John Pierpont Morgan

"Everything predicted by the enemies of banks, in the beginning, is now coming to pass. We are to be ruined now by the deluge of bank paper. It is cruel that such revolutions in private fortunes should be at the mercy of avaricious adventurers, who, instead of employing their capital, if any they have, in manufactures, commerce, and other useful pursuits, make it an instrument to burden all the interchanges of property with their swindling profits, profits which are the price of no useful industry of theirs." --Thomas Jefferson to Thomas Cooper, 1814

"Banking was conceived in iniquity and was born in sin. The bankers own the earth. Take it away from them, but leave them the power to create money, and with a flick of the pen they will create enough money to buy it back again. However, take away from them the power to create money, and all the great fortunes like mine will disappear and they ought to disappear, for a better world to live in. But, if you wish to remain the slaves of bankers and pay the cost for your own slavery, let them continue to create money." - Sir Jostah Stamp, President of the Bank of England in the 1920's, the second richest man in Britain

''This great and powerful force-the accumulated wealth of the United States-has taken over all the functions of Government, Congress, the issue of money, and banking and the army and navy in order to have a band of mercenaries to do their bidding and protect their stolen property.'' - Senator Richard Pettigrew - Triumphant Plutocracy - Published, January 1, 1922

"A banker is a man who loans you umbrellas when the sun is shining and demands it back the moment it looks like rain." - Mark Twain

Do the Wall Street shuffle
Hear the money rustle
Watch the greenbacks tumble
Feel the Sterling crumble 

You need a yen to make a mark
If you wanna make money
You need the luck to make a buck
If you wanna be Getty, Rothschild
You've gotta be cool on Wall Street 

You've gotta be cool on Wall Street
When your index is low
Dow Jones ain't got time for the bums
They wind up on skid row with holes in their pockets
They plead with you, buddy can you spare the dime
But you ain't got the time
Doin' the....
Doin' the.... 

Oh, Howard Hughes (updated to Jamie Diamond ;)
Did your money make you better?
Are you waiting for the hour
When you can screw me?
'Cos you're big enough 

To do the Wall Street Shuffle
Let your money hustle
Bet you'd sell your mother
You can buy another 

Doin' the....
Doin' the.... 

You buy and sell
You wheel and deal
But you're living on instinct
You get a tip
You follow it
And you make a big killing
