Here’s a recording I did this week of my song “Get Up.”  Still needs some bass and synth.

we’ve got today to sing and play
to feast upon a grand buffet

we’re runnin’ in circles
we’re runnin’ in circles
keep that circle spinnin’ as we blast through outer space
and the engine is in our braincells
colorin’ in gray scales
molding our own universe with techni-coloured clays
and we’re glowin’ like LED lights
with musical delight
digitize our souls and burn ‘em to a CD-R!
and now we’re spinnin’
and you’re listenin’
it’s the beginnin’ of an end that never dies

SO GET UP
get your head up out of the sand
just GET UP
heart’s thumpin’ cause it’s ful of demand
SO GETT UP!!
don’t waste a minute because life is grand
you gotta keep those eyes upon the master plan

and we’re goin’ like L.A. freeways
expect major delays
butchya really can’t be late when you’re just in it for the ride
and now we’re freezin’
all the days we’re seizin’
there ain’t no reason, just a twisted web of rhymes

SO GET UP
get your head up out of the sand
just GET UP
heart’s thumpin’ cause it’s ful of demand
SO GETT UP!!
don’t waste a minute because life is grand
you gotta keep those eyes upon the master plan


they let you think you were small
they let you think it was all our of your hands
so you kept droppin’ the ball
why aren’t ya kickin’ it and takin’ a stand?
instead you’re cryin’ cause you think that it’s gone
but it isn’t gone
and it hasn’t been long
since you were pluggin’ along like there was nothing wrong
will i ever feel that comfort again?
i don’t know that i will
i don’t know that i will
i don’t know that i will
i don’t know that i will

SO GET UP
get your head up out of the sand
just GET UP
heart’s thumpin’ cause it’s ful of demand
SO GETT UP!!
don’t waste a minute because life is grand
you gotta keep those eyes upon the master plan
(REPEAT!!!)

“ Dana Gould had this bit where he said, “In the time that I would have spent arguing with my friends in the past, I go get an ice-cream sandwich and just sit and enjoy that.” Because at the end of my life, I’ll go, “Oh, I enjoyed all those ice-cream sandwiches when I wasn’t arguing with anyone.” I’ll just quietly do what the fuck I want to do.

Good point.

This is a music video I edited together for The DR. DEMENTO Show on the new Internet TV channel The REAL UHF (www.therealuhf.com). It’s a music video for a song called “Blame the Booty” by Leslie and the LYs of YouTube fame. They have a hit called “Gem Sweater,” which is pretty hilarious.

I edited together this video shortly after I finished my “Distortion” music video last year, but wasn’t allowed to release it until now, because The DR. DEMENTO Show and The REAL UHF hadn’t launched yet! Now it has, so definitely check out The REAL UHF. There is some great, terrible, bizarre, and hilarious content on there. I did the editing for the first two episodes of The DR. DEMENTO Show for the channel, which features acts such as Dan Deacon and Neil Hamburger.
