Feb 2022 hip-hop funny funk guitar
for Song #4, I needed to lighten the mood....a LOT. I hope this brings you a smile.
Why isnt anything built to last?
one day it’s new then a thing of the past
this little knob and that little switch
not two months old now it’s all on the fritz
my stereo is busted all conked out
took it to the repair man and I heard him shout
“don’t call us we’ll call you”
now days go by and I got no tunes
How am I supposed to have a party
if my stereo is busticated toast?
how am I supposed to have a party?
I'm begging please don't give up the ghost
now days go by and I got no tunes
my friends all ask, Whattya gonna do?
So I call the fix it shop get ‘em on the phone took a super long time cuz they put me on hold
"the motherboard is Fried I’m afraid your stereo has died"
now I know it’s out of whack
giving me a heart attack
I’m done for on the blink
worst of all
what are my friends gonna think?
How am I supposed to have a party
if my stereo is busticated toast?
how am I supposed to have a party?
I'm begging please don't give up the ghost
All the gremlins sing:
it’s busticated obliterated
wank a doodle funk a dunk
super kludgey like hong kong phooey
catty wampus hunk a junk
yeah, never getting it back
it’s shattered
tattered
wockerjawed
and busticated
busticated for good
How am I supposed to have a party
if my stereo is busticated toast?
how am I supposed to have a party?
I'm begging please don't give up the ghost
How am I supposed to have a party?

@ajna1960 Feb 2022
HA !! love it. Incredibly brilliant lyric, and the performance/production is just perfect for it :)

"@enzo : My 5 year old just asked, “What’s a stereo?” :-) smashing!
Great to hear you doing so many different styles Vincent.
This one is radio ready . Love it.
@stephenwordsmith Feb 2022
Read the lyrics first and prepared myself for something in the Weird Al or perhaps Lewis Carroll vein - a Jabberwock for the planned obsolescence age.
Hadn't expected this ultra-slick delivery. What an anthem. All the layers and asides come together with perfect comic timing. It's top 40 cool but unusually relatable at that. The last aside was a nice touch.
@brucebutkovich Feb 2022
This is so amazing. I want to come to your party
@wrenarcher Feb 2022
Color me a boomer but I've decided that my second favorite word (very close second) next to "festooned" is "busticated".
Really clever lyrics. Love the vibe.

My 5 year old just asked,
“What’s a stereo?”
@erbaer Feb 2022
Well that's fun! Wish my complaining sounded like that! Nicely done, sir.
@abidingduder Feb 2022
This goes so damn hard bro what a bop
@teebyrd Feb 2022
I totally got the De La Soul vibe too! Could be off Three Feet High and Rising. But then with the P-Funk chorus! Your stream of consciousness game is strong my friend.
@b3nut Feb 2022
Hip Hop meets Zappa...this is delightful! The title alone is brilliant...I thought I was one of the only people who used the term "busticated" hehehehe! I can relate though...so much planned obsolescence. Makes me glad I just stick to vintage stereo gear I can repair myself...
@jacobeverettwallace Feb 2022
Oh man! This could be about my dead interface. This one hits home and brings a smile! Incredible job. That hook is stuck in my head now! That bridge is absolutely money.
@carleybaer Feb 2022
Ok I need to go into more detail. First of all, it reminds me of the "maple syrup my ass, that's made of corn syrup" which is I think when I fell in love with your raps. The details! The voices! The layering! The word "busticated"!! I was grinning like a fool from the downbeat, and laughed out loud so many times. "I'm lonely" and the false ending... omg. I just. Love this. So much.
@carleybaer Feb 2022
OH MY GOD I LOVE IT
@scottlake Feb 2022
There is a certain flavor of De La Soul seeping through! Love the singing parts and the cartoon voices!
