Lyrics:

Yo Elle, That was some crazy weather, I don't know what's goin on here.

Me neither, I though I saw some lights flashing in the sky.

Man, what was that?

Whew! The smoke the lights, all different colors. What's happening? 

Man I don't know but I'm a little scared. 

Same, but for some reason, I feel like dancin.

I woke up in the morning
what did I see?
Walked to the street
and I heard the J.B.s

This dude in a jump suit
Struttin by me.
In his platform boots
Are we in the 70s?

I look around and I can’t believe it.
An AMC Pacer, and a Chevy Vega,
A Ford Pinto, and old Chevrolet.
Bumpin Queen as they roll down the street.

Kids roll by me on their BMX bikes.
Banana seats and a couple of trikes.
All of them in those high tube socks.
No helmets, doin tricks off the sidewalk.

A group of teenagers up on it.
With their feathered hair like Farrah Fawcett.
And the black folks with their giant afros.
Yo the bros know how to roll.

If I’m in the 70s.
I need to know.
If I go to the skating rink
Will it be roller disco?

And if it is
Then I know that I’m in the 70s.

Disco night in the 70s.
Funkadelic and Chic.
Love in the air jammin to the beat.
O man it feels so sweet.

That night I’m walkin down the street.
Oh man, so sweet.
There it is the disco rink.
Costs a buck to get in I think. 

Whoa, I really am in the 70s.
A groovy funky skating party.
The DJ has a giant afro.
Yo spinnin the old school disco.

Lace up my skates time to boogie down.
Roller disco in a 70s town.

The girls skatin around in their hot pants 
And aviator glasses. 
Disco balls everywhere.
Nothin but love in the air.

Getting on the rink, time to get my groove on.
The DJ spinnin the tunes on Vinyl
While everyone’s goin wild.

Kool and the Gang
Earth Wind and Fire.
I can smell the love in the air.
this 70's groovy atmosphere. 

Disco night in the 70s.
Funkadelic and Chic.
Love in the air jammin to the beat.
O man it feels so sweet.

Yo Elle, that was a crazy day in the 70s.

Right? Wild!

That rink was helladope though.

So psychadelic. I'm not sure how we got here but I'm thinkin I wanna stay.

Yea, I feel that.  I'm might just wanna stay too.

This is Mark Workhoven reporting for KEX.

Lyrics:

Haha Yea, it was a dark and dreary night.
My wife was not feelin right.
Karaoke contest night.
Goin alone by the moonlight.

My first karaoke contest ever.
The crowd gathers together.
In Newberg at Eden Gate.
Rockin' Oregon state.

I arrived at the contest.
Feelin' weird at best.
It's a big old country bar.
Cowboy hats and flannel, bizzare!

Sittin' there by myself 
feelin' out of place.
As the singers warm up.
half of em all cowboyed up.

Then my wife shows up.
Now I'm ready to rip shit up.
Put my song up with the KJ
Skee lo skee lo skee lo.

Hmmmm maybe this isn't the place.
Just in case, I'll go with white boy rap,
Vanilla Ice
Cue that track!

Karaoke Contest Night.
Singin dancin Saturday night.
Makin friends in the spotlight.
Everybody's feelin the vibe.

14 singers in the contest.
I'm the last to do my best.
All the others decided to sing.
I was the only riggdiy rapper.

My wife said so far
the cowboy hats at the bar
dropped their mouths ajar
like Vanilla Ice had descended on their bar.

At the instrumental break.
Whew! Busted the Vanilla Ice moves.
On the stage, dude!
As the bar went crazy.

As I finished up that white boy rap
I felt like a I had a chance
because I did the song and dance
for those cowfolk, bam!

Karaoke Contest Night.
Singin dancin Saturday night.
Makin friends in the spotlight.
Everybody's feelin the vibe.

Now, this one girl on the main.
Started singin, I was like ghat damn!
That girls got pipes.
I was like, there's your winner tonight.

While the judges were doin their thing
to decide who would win,
my wife chatted her up,
we exchanged info, yup.

Here name is Elle,
we invited her over. Welllll.
Now she's singin on my tracks,
voice like a soul angel on wax.

For me and Elle and Crissy,
a meet and greet at the show,
to see who would win the 300 bucks,
and roll.

And now the winner of the Eden Gate karaoke contest this month.
Grand prize total of 300 bucks.
Is Jed jed jed jed...

Yo man, let's get outta here, word to your mother.

Volume and Language Warning!

This one is a bit of a mad experiment even by the example that's been set, but Jonathan Pie's rant about the US's handling of the War in Ukraine sounded oddly musical to my ears.

Lyrics:

You got Cozmo Jethro on the mic and Drew Armijo on the beat comin at ya with a little old school new school fusion.

Now the old school is all I know.
But I’m gonna bust this quick flow with my bro Armijo.
He’s got the beats and the audio.
As I go blow by blow in my studio, uh oh.

Old school rap is what I love to sing.
It’s where I come from back in the 80s.
New school rap, they flow so freely.
Sometimes it seems so strange to me. 

How they bust those rhymes so quickly.
Like a rhyming spree, weee heee heeee.
Eminem and them and Busta Rhymes
Flow 100 mph at times.

They rhyme so fast
Read between the lines.
At times sublime.
Like New Years Eve sippin on wine.

With your favorite girl, so fine.
Both yall getting ready for bedtime.
Hop in the sack and it’s time to shine.

Old school new school
Here we go.
Rockin the beat with Cozmo and Armijo.

Usually flow slow
Check the low tempo.
As we try something new 
With this quick flow. Whoa.

Old school new school
Here we go.
Rockin the beat with Cozmo and Armijo.

Usually flow slow
Check the low tempo.
As we try something new 
With this quick flow. Whoa.

Old school new school
Here we go.
Rockin the beat with Cozmo and Armijo.

Usually flow slow
Check the low tempo.
As we try something new 
With this quick flow. Whoa.

Now how do I allow
Myself to try something new.
Is it outta my wheel house?
Am I screwing up this beat by Drew?

I admit, it’s weird for me to flow so fast.
Tryin a new part of the craft.
As I break outta the past.
At last I tried part of the craft
That was so hard and fast.
Don’t care if it’s trash, I’m just havin a blast.

Old school new school
Here we go.
Rockin the beat with Cozmo and Armijo.

Usually flow slow
Check the low tempo.
As we try something new 
With this quick flow. Whoa.

Old school new school
Here we go.
Rockin the beat with Cozmo and Armijo.

Usually flow slow
Check the low tempo.
As we try something new 
With this quick flow. Whoa.

This short work for solo piano forms the first in a set of pieces inspired by various haiku. 

Wandering dreams. Alas!
Over fields all burned, the winds
Whisper as they pass!
