It's insane what's gone into it, but the important point is that I finally did something with the Alembic, and it sounds great. Check it out: www.myspace.com/fromthelaboratory The title, roughly translated, means "What is Funky?" I'm linking Frenchiness with funkiness in some arcane way, possibly through linking French surrealism/dadism with characters like Funkenstein and Sir Nose. "Monsieur Funky" is basically Salvador Dali, someone also incredibly funky in the Funkadelic manner. Lyrics follow. Thank you, Alembic! I was so happy I was able to do a song w/ this kind of tone. ____ Qu'est-ce Que C'est, Funky? Hey you freaky French mother****** What's that step in your brand new bag? What's the way in sound from way out? Is it up for sale? Qu'est-ce que c'est What you say Qu'est-ce que c'est, Monsieur Funky? What's the sign Signify Why the what and what the why? It's the man in the black pajamas The blackened heart of the sacred sun The happy ass dropping in your face Fun for everyone Qu'est-ce que c'est What you say Qu'est-ce que c'est, Monsieur Funky? What's the sign Signify Why the what and what the why? It's the turbine in the mountain The curling arc of your thin mustache The dragon's breath and the rabbit's run Burning in the sun br: You Frenchy little funk machine How can you be so ****ing mean? You come to me as in a dream Where nothing is as it will seem What is the what that makes us real? That gives us such undying feel? A solar, psychedelic feel To wash away the devil's deal Qu'est-ce que c'est, qu'est-ce que c'est, qu'est-ce que c'est? kimberly Intermediate Member Username: kimberly Post Number: 186 Registered: 1-2007 Posted on Sunday, January 20, 2008 - 10:00 pm:    Sweet!

It's amazing what a little tambourine will do.
