Lyrics:

This be the jam for your artisanal toast 
This be the butter from your host with the most
This here the first that makes your rump roast 
From Columbus Ohio down to the west coast 
This be the wings that make that shit fly
This here the joint that gets you all high
This be the fish sauce to make my eats Thai
Gonna get you all moving make them old bones spry 
I went down town and met a girl from uptown
Shaking her booty like treasure to be found
Doing the whop and that old Charlie brown
Gonna make that rain fall and raise the crops from the ground 

We gonna call that thunder
We gonna shake the night 
We gonna ride that lightning 
To the ground and make it strike
We gonna call that thunder 
We gonna make it rain tonight 

This be the one that goes straight to the top 
This be that bubbly that makes a song pop
This be what's hip to add spring to your hop
These here the moves that make them drawls drop
I went down town again the very next week
Looking for a honey so I guess I better seek
Cast my stones to the ground you could here the floor creek
She did the cabbage patch and then she did the freak

We gonna call that thunder
We gonna shake the night 
We gonna ride that lightning 
To the ground and make it strike
We gonna call that thunder
We gonna make ya'll clap
We gonna strike that lightning 
We gonna bring that 88 back
We gonna call that thunder 
We gonna make it rain tonight 

So you came downtown just to watch me dance
Hoping to meet me you may have a chance
My magic I'm working' and you can be sure
I'm more than a dancer…so much more
And if you be lucky and if you be true
Maybe I'll spend some minutes with you
Cause you found your way here
And here you shall be
Watching a dancer looking at me

This be that funk that shake the junk in your trunk
This here so phat it go gadunkadunkdunk
This track be so dope you'll be calling it skunk
Gonna get you to the party make a drunk monk crunk
I went downtown to the festival to play
Met a girl form uptown with a cowrie shell bouquet 
Dancing to the ana drums to make her sorrows go away
She put me in a trance and danced 'till the break-a-day

We gonna call that thunder
We gonna shake the night 
We gonna ride that lightning 
To the ground and make it strike
We gonna call that thunder 
We gonna make it rain tonight

again a fabulous open collab by Paul Racle: https://soundcloud.com/paploviante-and-friends/funky-space-paploviante-open-collab & a big fun to jam this ! I had 3 sax improvisations, and could not decide, which to release - so, here's the first one :-)) ... Paul is amazing ! So I hope, I did not spoil his track too much ;-) ... improvisation in one go with all dents and scratches - that's life .......

I am not a musician but music plays a very important role in my creative life! I am an artist/designer and music is my companion and my muse in the long hours I spend working in my studio! 
I am immensely impressed and grateful for all the talented and inspiring musicians whose work graces this Cloud, and I will always re-post sounds that I love (and will listen to again) - knowing that others will enjoy them!
I feel slightly embarrassed and quite humbled when I receive such graceful messages of thanks from artists whose work I have re-posted - after-all, I am the one who is so inspired by the discovery of your brilliant music!!!
So thank YOU!!!
Jools :)
P.S. If you want to see where the music takes me there is a link to my Portfolio site on Behance below!!! 
NEW!! - Thanks for all the great feed-back on my work! I shall be re-launching with a website (shop & archive) ‘KULT-JE’ in the not too distant future! Meanwhile, examples of past and current work are featured on my Instagram (@joolselphick)
Since my heart op in Jan2021, I have had to deal with taking quite a lot of meds which have interrupted my design work - that and moving to Germany in 2020 - and back in 2021 (due to Covid my business plans stalled!) - SO, slowly getting it together…. hang tight!😊

I have an archive of my work to date on Instagram - @joolselphick
