Charli XCX

My 100% synth version of the 2017 track.

I was busy thinking 'bout boys
Boys, boys
I was busy dreaming 'bout boys
Boys, boys (XCX)
Head is spinning thinking 'bout boys
I need that bad boy to do me right on a Friday
And I need that good one to wake me up on a Sunday
That one from work can come over on Monday night
I want 'em all
I want 'em all
And when they finally leave me I'm all alone, but
I'm looking down and my girls are blowing my phone up
Them twenty questions, they asking me where I'm at
Didn't hit 'em back
I'm sorry that I missed your party
I wish I had a better excuse like
"I had to trash the hotel lobby"
But I was busy thinking 'bout boys
Boys, boys
I was busy dreaming 'bout boys
Boys, boys
Head is spinning thinking 'bout boys
In every city I got one with different ringtones
Flying from L.A. all the way to Puerto Rico
My girls are calling me asking me where I'm at
Didn't hit 'em back
I'm sorry that I missed your party
I wish I had a better excuse like
I can't even lie, you got me
I was busy thinking 'bout boys
Boys, boys
I was busy dreaming 'bout boys
Boys, boys
Head is spinning thinking 'bout boys
Don't be mad, don't be mad at me (no, no, no, no)
Darling, I can't stop it
Even if I wanted
Don't be mad, don't be mad at me (no, no, no, no)
Missed what you were saying
I was miles away, yeah
Don't be mad, don't be mad, not like I had a choice
I was busy thinking 'bout boys
Boys, boys
I was busy dreaming 'bout boys
Boys, boys
I was busy thinking 'bout boys (boys)
Boys (boys), boys
I was busy dreaming 'bout boys
Boys (oh, baby), boys (yeah)
Head is spinning thinking 'bout boys


Boys (Antique Transistor version) (Charli XCX cover)

Uh-oh
Uh, oh
She my best friend in the whole world
On the mood board, she's the inspo
And she dressed in really cute clothes
Kawaii like we're in Tokyo
Devon Lee smile, teeth a white row
Got a classic, real deep, Van Gogh
She got loyalty, she says, "I love you, girl"
I love her more
Ah-ah, Barbie, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind
Jump into the driver's seat and put it into speed drive
Hot, ridin' through the streets, on a different frequency
Know you know just what I mean, we're runnin' through the red lights
Ah, Barbie, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind
Jump into the driver's seat and put it into speed drive
Hot, ridin' through the streets, on a different frequency
Know you know just what I mean, we're runnin' through the red lights
Li-i-i-i, i-i, i-i, i-ights
Red lights, red lights, red lights, red lights, yeah
Oh, got the top down, tires on fire (on fire)
Who are you? I'm livin' my life (uh-huh)
See you lookin' with that side eye
Wow, you're so jealous 'cause I'm one of a kind
What you think about me, I don't care (I don't care)
I'm a classic, real deep, Voltaire
The girls who need to know, well, they already know
They're over there
Ah-ah, Barbie, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind
Jump into the driver's seat and put it into speed drive
Hot, ridin' through the streets, on a different frequency
Know you know just what I mean, we're runnin' through the red lights
Ah, Barbie, you're so fine, you're so fine you blow my mind
Jump into the driver's seat and put it into speed drive
Hot, ridin' through the streets, on a different frequency
Know you know just what I mean, we're runnin' through the red lights
Li-i-i-i, i-i, i-i, i-ights
Red lights, red lights, red lights, red lights, yeah
Li-i-i-i, i-i, i-i, i-ights
Red lights, red lights, red lights, red lights, yeah
Red lights, red lights, red lights, red lights, yeah


Speed Drive (Burn Out version) (Charli XCX cover)

My take on Charli's song. Used the new drum gadget 'Recife', I might get up the courage to use the vocal track gadget once I've found out how much fixing it can do :-) Not stuck in the 80's anymore!

Boom Clap (Tokyo J-Walk Version) (Charli XCX Cover)

My extra fancy version of Fancy, a little tribute to my cuz Amethyst.

Fancy (88's Back Version) (Iggy Azalea Cover)

Sort of a synth/Lo-fi/distorted/low bit version.

Break the Rules (Lobot Version) (Charli XCX Cover)

My all-synth cover of the 2019 hit.

I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Take a ride to my old neighborhood
I just wanna go back, sing, "hit me, baby, one more time"
Wanna go back, wanna go
Yeah, I just wanna go back
Nike Airs, all that
CD, old Mercedes
Drive 'round listening to Shady like, oh
Never under pressure, oh
Those days it was so much better, oh
Feelin' cool in my youth, relaxin'
No money, no problem
It was easy back then
Ooh, wish that we could go back in time, uh
Got memories
Ooh, maybe we can do it tonight
Tonight's the night
I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Take a ride to my old neighborhood
I just wanna go back, sing, "hit me, baby, one more time"
Wanna go back, wanna go
Yeah, I remember back home
Best friends, all night, no phone
No cares, I was dumb and so young
My room singing Michael Jackson (hee, hee)
Never under pressure, oh, those days it was so much better
Feelin' cool in my youth
I'm askin', "Does anyone remember how we did it back then?"
Ooh, wish that we could go back in time, uh
Got memories
Ooh, maybe we can do it tonight
Tonight's the night
Ah, yeah
I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Take a ride to my old neighborhood
I just wanna go back, sing, "hit me, baby, one more time"
Wanna go back, wanna go
Back to where we came from, playin' air guitar on the roof
In the kitchen, up on the table
Like we had a beautiful view
I wanna go
I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Ah
Back to 1999
I know those days are over but a boy can fantasize
'Bout JTT on MTV and when I close my eyes
And I'm right there, right there
And he's right there, right there
And we're right there, right there
Ah, ah, ah, I wanna go back
I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Take a ride to my old neighborhood
I just wanna go back, sing, "hit me baby, one more time"
Wanna go back, wanna go
Back to where we came from (came from)
Playin' air guitar on the roof
In the kitchen, up on the table
Like we had a beautiful view
I wanna go
I just wanna go back, back to 1999
Go back, yeah, yeah
I just wanna go back, yeah back to 1999
Yeah, take me back to '99

1999 (Young & Dumb Version) (Charli XCX ft. Troye Sivan cover)

My all-synth version of the 2016 track

After the after the party we're gonna keep it going
We're gonna rip it up, the neighbours might complain
I think it's almost four A.M, but baby I'm still feeling just fine
Ice all up in a plastic cup and I'ma keep on sipping all night, yeah
I might a kissed a thousand lips but maybe that's just all in my mind
Some people never understand the way we live but we're living life
Uh huh, hey, uh huh, Monday to Sunday, it's never too late
So everyone say, "we don't wanna stop!"
'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna keep it goin'
We're gonna rip it up, the neighbors might complain
'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna stay 'til mornin'
Then when the time is up, we'll do it all again
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We're all in love
We're all in love
I'm hangin' on my best friend's couch and my clothes are all on the floor
I got glitter in my underwear like it was Studio 54, yeah
I can't remember why I love it, but I need it baby, clap, bring on the encore
Let's pour another drink, the glasses go
Yeah, we're always up for one more
Uh huh, hey, uh huh, Monday to Sunday, it's never too late
So everyone say, "we don't wanna stop!"
'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna keep it goin'
We're gonna rip it up, the neighbors might complain
'Cause after the afterparty (afterparty)
We're gonna stay 'til mornin' (stay 'til mornin')
Then when the time is up, we'll do it again (oh yeah)
The party just ended but I'm not done with you
But my folks are out of town, we got a crib with a view
Ya'll come over, bring a couple friends, I keep mines with me
Shouts out to Whitney, she was so wicked
The party was so crazy (oh), the party was so crazy (oh)
Tomorrow I'll be lazy but I'll spend it with you baby (oh)
Monday to Sunday doing it our way
RiRi on replay, cheers to the weekday
We're all in, we're all in love, yeah
Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop
And we do it like ice cream for dinner
Bucket of liqueur, we're getting sicker
Don't need Ibiza
We're all in, we're all in love, yeah
Drop, drop, drop, drop, drop
And we do it like
Monday to Sunday doing it our way
RiRi on replay, cheers to the weekday
We're all in, we're all in love, yeah
'Cause after the afterparty, we're gonna keep it goin'
We're gonna rip it up, the neighbors might complain

Monday to Sunday doing it our way
RiRi on replay, cheers to the weekday
We're all in, we're all in love, yeah

After the Afterparty (Paper Wasp version) (Charli XCX feat. Lil Yachty cover)

I make obnoxious synth covers of previously fine songs. All done with Korg Gadget.
