THE GOTHIEST SIDE OF GOTHIC FUNK

Bubbly Jock / Jabberjockey 

Enjoy the Bubbly Jock / Jabberjockey music video on YouTube created by burn.it.smith here: 
https://youtu.be/dbK4fOKc-rM

I am so happy that burn.it.smith reach out and asked if I wanted to get creative with his original song, “Bubbly Jock,” and invite whoever I wanted to join in. burn.it.smith’s hip hop jazz fusion track instantly inspired and the band was obvious. All the pieces came together real nice for this “old school” jazz hip hop SoundCloud extravaganza. I hope you all enjoy!!!

And big thanks to Russ for the zaney art. Look closely and you will see lots of humorous details.

Lyrics:

burn.it.smith:
Babbling away like a bubbly jock 
Poking the bogey, talking tommyrot 
All my eyes and Betty Martin
 It just never stops
I said Be-Bop-A-Lula 
You know what?
 I had enough

the Couch King:
Beware oh my
Felleeow frumious blimpyish fluemes I
Decry oh why thy
Manxome mimsyish foes who gimble through try
To snicker snack with a pack of galumphying slacks
Who lack burbling whiffling eyes of flame
Don’t they know they should go gyring back with their
Sacks to rath about where they came
With their vorpal swords hanging towards the floors
We restore our honor from the Uffish wars
As we rath outgrabe with displayed furmious frayed jaw displayed let’s go Jabberjockay

burn.it.smith:
It’s a blathering
Gathering
Put your hat in
And start jabbering
Clamouring!
What’s happening
 Lucille?

Janine Levinson:
 I got the Tommyrot on top 
The rot because the Jabbberwock
 Is walking on my head
 I got the Alice Hat on 
And now he’s walking on the hat instead
I said Be-Bop-A-Lula 
You know what? 
I had enough

burn.it.smith: 
Blathering away like a bubbly jock 
Shootin’ the mouth off, talking tommy rot 
Poking the bogey, I’m at a loss 
All my eyes and Betty Martin 
The tongue never stops

MY NAME IS STEVE
I HAVEN’T HAD A FRIIEND IN 40 YEARS
WELCOME, STEVE!

NOT THE WAY THAT IT APPEARS
BUT THE SUM OF ALL MY FEARS
REDUCES ME TO TEARS

WELCOME TO THE GROUP, STEVE!

I MAY SEEM KIND OF WIERD
THAT’S WHY YOU DISAPPEARED
THAT’S WHY I’M ALL ALONE IN THIS WORLD

AS A CHILD I LOST MY WAY
IT’S STILL WITH ME TO THIS DAY
I GUESS IT MUST BE TRUE WHAT PEOPLE SAY
THAT SOME OF US ARE MEANT TO PAY

MY NAME IS STEVE
I HAVEN’T HAD A FRIEND IN 40 YEARS
WELCOME TO THE GROUP, STEVE

YOU AVOID ME, I AVOID YOU
BOTH OF US FEEL ILL AT EASE
REINFORCING THE DISCOMFORT
I GROW WEAKER AT THE KNEES
BOTH OF US FEEL ILL AT EASE

PLAYING BACK THOSE AWKWARD MOMENTS
NO ESCAPING, NEVER FREE
ON MY MIND AND ON REWIND 
EVERY SCENE, INDIGNITY

MY NAME IS STEVE
I HAVEN’T HAD A FRIEND IN 40 YEARS
WELCOME TO THE GROUP, STEVE!

WHAT YOU’RE SEEING ISN’T SMUGNESS
WHAT YOU SEE, IN FACT, IS SHAME
ORCHESTRATE MY OWN DURESS
ULTIMATELY, I’M TO BLAME

ROUND AND ROUND IT GOES:

YOU AVOID ME, I AVOID YOU
BOTH OF US FEEL ILL AT EASE
REINFORCING THE DISCOMFORT
I GROW WEAKER AT THE KNEES
AND THEN I FREEZE

MY NAME IS STEVE
I HAVEN’T HAD A FRIEND IN 40 YEARS
WELCOME TO THE GROUP, STEVE!

My Name Is Steve, I Haven't Had A Friend In 40 Years (WELCOME TO NO FRIENDS ANONYMOUS)

■概要(overview)
断崖の頂上は極楽浄土などではなく、
たどり着いた人たちのほとんどが強制労働をさせられる、恐ろしい場所だった。
その中の一部、つまり私たちは「それ」につれられて洞窟の中を旅した。
別の場所に連れていかれるらしい。ああ、出口が見えてきた・・雪が見えるなぁ。
・・・そんな感じの曲です。メリークリスマス！

The top of the cliff was not a paradise, but a dreadful place where most people who reached it were forced into hard labor. Some of us, including myself, were led by "it" through a journey inside the caves. It seems we were being taken to another place. Ah, I can see the exit... I see snow. ...That's the kind of song it is. Merry Christmas!

■歌詞
「big santa」

細く暗い洞窟を下へ下へと進んだ
左右に揺れながら　歩くそれに連れられ

出口見えた　雪が舞うクリスマスの世界
トップスターが怪しく光る先　見える大きな影

bigサンタ　夢を見ている
切れたゼンマイに気付かない程に
bigサンタ　「誰かがやって来たようだ」


徐々に速度落としそれは何か語り始めた
「カレガ　ココヲツクッタ」
「ワレワレハ　ツクラレタ」

並べられた　数百ものからくり人形
トップスターが怪しく光る先には人々の影

bigサンタ　夢を見ている
毎日がクリスマスの世界を
bigサンタ　「誰かがやって来たようだ」

■Lyrics (translation)
"Big Santa"

We descended further and further into the narrow, 
dark cave, Swaying left and right, led by "it".

We saw the exit, a snowy Christmas world, 
A huge shadow loomed ahead where the top star shone mysteriously.

Big Santa, dreaming, So unaware that his spring had broken. 
Big Santa, "someone seems to have arrived."

Gradually slowing down, 
"it" began to speak, 
"He made this place." 
"We were created."

Lined up were hundreds of mechanical dolls, 
Ahead where the top star shone mysteriously, were shadows of people.

Big Santa, dreaming, In a world where every day is Christmas. 
Big Santa, "someone seems to have arrived."

When I waken from my sleep,
and you're laying next to me,
somewhat tangled under sheets,
my heart sings with ecstasy. 

Please don't ever let me go.
If you don't love, let me know.
Otherwise, babe, let it show,
and I will bask your love bestowed. 

For I forever only want you.

bestowed

So soon just after you've gone
My senses sharpen
But it always takes so damn long
Before I feel how much my eyes have darkened
Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb, with a thought, with a whisper
With a careless memory, with a careless memory
On the table, signs of love lies scattered
And the walls break, with a crashing within
It's not as though, as though you really mattered
But being close, how could I let you go
Without some feeling, some precious sympathy following
Fear hangs a plane of gun smoke
Drifting in our room
So easy to disturb with a thought, with a whisper
With a careless memory, with a careless memory
With a careless memory, with a careless memory
Oh, I walk out into the sun, I try to find a new day
But the whole place just screams in my eyes
Where are you now 'cause I don't want to meet you
I think I'd die, I think I'd laugh at you
I know I'd cry, what am I supposed to do, follow you?
Outside the thoughts coming flooding back now
I just try to forget you
So easy to disturb with a thought with a whisper
With a careless memory, with a careless memory
With a careless memory, look out
With a careless memory
With a careless memory
Look out, look out, look out, look out

Albion Colossus Re-score

Undeterred Honest (Remix) by Augenmerk & Jeamland

Mister heartbreak

A song for a forgotten hero.

Lyrics;
The Kid's been everywhere
that he's ever gonna go.
Had a real rough reputation
That no one here would know
He has a home to rest his head. 
He's too old for moving on
And no one here will shed a tear
the day The Kid is gone

The things that you rely on
In time are bound to change
Live long enough your world begins
To look and feel real strange
These youngsters acting up
Living life without a care
He'd watched them from a distance
As they turned his world to theirs

Sitting in his chair
drinking applejack
He knows that life's a gift
But in time he'll give it back
Hot blooded in his youth
But now his blood runs cold
The Kid is still The Kid,
but The Kid is growing old

The Kid a tough and fearless man
Was not one to back down
And in his day they showed respect
When The Kid would come to town
But today it doesn't matter
what The Kid once said or did
No one here remembers
The man known as The Kid

Rocking in his chair
drinking applejack
He knows that life's a gift
But in time he'll give it back
Hot blooded in his youth
But now his blood runs cold
The Kid is still The Kid,
but The Kid is growing old

Don't take sides and I'll respect you for it; take sides and I'll treat you with the same contempt I treat anyone with a mob mentality, because mob mentality invariantly betrays an underlying intolerant right-wing mentality!
>
#SUPPORT gathers #MOMENTUM when #RECIPROCATED!
>
My tunes are ten times better than you might imagine!
>
A lack of listens proves nothing, other than the fact that no one is finding your tunes; it does not prove, as some believe, that your tunes must be crap, so don’t ever take such a ridiculous notion on board—on an internet FLOODED with music no listens rarely has anything to do with the quality of your music, your creative talent, is almost always down to the fact that the right audience can’t find your music, because finding it is now as difficult as finding a needle in a haystack!
>
SOMETHING FOR EVERYONE, EVERYTHING FOR SOMEONE!
>
For diversity and consistency, I am not hesitant in saying my Soundcloud pages house the most inventive creations on here. There are others making fabulous tunes, but no one is more prolific while maintaining a high standard of pole to pole invention, and that applies to the lyrics too. I won't escape obscurity and oblivion, but that proves nothing, the internet is way, way, WAY overcrowded with unsigned music, way too much mediocre stuff, which obscure anything exceptional out there; the wood hidden away behind lots and lots and LOTS of trees, and no one has the time to look for needles in haystacks, to find a diamond in the rough, it's just way too big a task, not humanely possible!

INVENTIVE, AUTHENTIC, DIVERSE MUSIC, INVENTIVE, AUTHENTIC, IMAGINATIVE LYRICS, but those are the last things the vast majority of listeners are looking for these days!
>
Me, I'm awestruck by musicians who can't be pigeonholed, who don't conform to any borders, who don't think about which direction each new creation will take, they just go wherever that creativity takes them; pure, on the fly, innovation, imperfect but 100% authentic, as far a way from manufactured, recipe book, regurgitation, as it is possible to get, totally unforced, inspirational and way, way, WAY outside the box! There ought to be a place for such creativity, there was at one time, but a mercenary music industry put an end to that, leaving us with a situation where those who deserve the most adoration for the talents receive the least!
>
Will this ever change, will a yearning for TRUE underground, creativity unique to the individual, ever return, or has the spoon-feeding gone to far this time, is its grip so vicelike nothing can break it!
>
I make #INVISIBLE music, perhaps it feels that way to you too!
#Overlooked, #Underrated, Dismissed Without A Listen!
>
When Soundclouders follow me or click like without leaving feedback, what is it they are hoping for? That I come listen to their tunes and heap praise on them, what? I mean really, what is the point of following someone, what is the point of liking one of their tunes, if you don't actual think they are deserving of feedback, if you don't think the tunes are as good as what you do???

EXPLODING THE MYTH THAT UNSIGNED IS UNSIGNED BECAUSE IT’S INFERIOR TO SIGNED MUSIC!

>
UNTIL this MYTH is blown out of the water we don’t have a cat in hells chance of breaking through. #TheMyth  is the BIGGEST obstacle that stands in our way, it is the FIRST hurdle we must get over, it is the message that should be going #VIRAL, it’s down to each & every one of you to make that happen!
>
#ExplodeTheMyth
>
Listening to just one of my tunes tells you nothing about my creative approach, listening to ten of my tunes will still tell you very little, listen to a hundred of my tunes and the penny will start to drop, but it's only after hearing 500+ of my creations and collaborations that your eyes will widen in amazement! 
However, if you don't have unlimited eclectic taste none of that applies, and the reality is, who, in this world, is going to listen to every tune I've created, no one--if even one tune is heard from beginning to end it's a minor miracle, because sadly, there is a belief that unsigned means inferior, but I've heard enough tunes by the rest of you guys to know that's a myth, that's bullshit, we create some of the most inventive, authentic, imaginative tunes out there!
Give me unsigned, independent and underground music over signed, safe, predictable, recipe book, music any day of the week!
>
I MAKE TUNES NO ONE WILL EVER LISTEN TO!
>
Some musicians & music fans don’t want to hear music from the past because they would have to acknowledge IT’S ALL BEEN DONE BEFORE!
>
Finally come to terms with the fact that I'm PLAYING TO AN AUDIENCE OF ONE, and even I have to FORCE myself to listen!!!
>
My music and lyrics are all about different, but if no one listens no one will EVER know! 
#StevenVellou

I CREATE TUNES ON THE FLY; NO FORMULA, NO PLAN, NO DIRECTION; THEY JUST HAPPEN--I'M IGNORANT OF THE RULES INVOLVED IN THE MUSIC MAKING PROCESS, SO I'M NOT BOXED IN BY THEM, WHICH IS WHY THEY ARE SO VARIED AND UNPREDICTABLE!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Meaningful yet tongue-in-cheek tunes that can’t be #PIGEONHOLED!
Great production ISN'T my forte, accomplished musicianship ISN'T my forte but #UndergroundInvention, #InfiniteDimensions & LYRICS are!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
Now I don't personally believe I'm in the same league as #Bowie, other than my lyrics, more often than not, making more sense, but I do think I share his ability to adapt to different genres, and his endless, diverse, creativity, just not quite on the same level.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
I'm not proficient/accomplished on instruments, & I have other musical limitations, but most genres come natural to me, and I much prefer having that unforced ability to being highly accomplished on instruments, highly polished on production, or having the perfect voice!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
If I didn't feel I had my own approach, if my music was easy to pigeonhole, I would have quit music a long time ago!
Never been about fame & fortune, just about pushing the boundaries without actually intending to push the boundaries; creativity that's second nature not formula! 
Yes, I want to reach an audience but making money from my music means nothing to me!
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
NOT saying I’m THE MOST #talented musician on music promotion sites but I will say I’m one of the most #UNDERRATED! Even so, I would much rather be underrated than overrated!
