Feb 2022 dance electropop
This started as a week 2 challenge, trying to write a VERSE and CHORUS section that had a common tone that modulated from the root, to the 3rd, to the 5th, to the....etc, etc. Somewhere in its infancy it had a one note melody, and then.....oh no! ...writers block! I had to rely on the old standby....LAUGHTER! So now, after working my jay oh bee and taking a break with the family over the last week, I can try to finish up some tunes.
You’re naked underneath your clothes
that is why you get so cold
bare skin
gooseflesh
it’s a hypothermal test
long stems? no prob
we’ve just the thing
to do the job
Don’t you fret
you’ll look spiffy
We fix those things in a jiffy
CHORUS:
With ponts! Put on some ponts!
That’s right, Ponts!
Ponts! Ponts.
Put on some ponts! Thats right, ponts!
Everybody say Ponts!
make a statement
with your mood
something crazy
for the neighborhood
“Well I’ll be dipped”
is what they’ll say
heads turn
and they gaze
Work it
Twerk it underneath
tightie whities
boxers briefs
french cut
string thong
there is no way
to go wrong
CHORUS:
With ponts! Put on some ponts!
(Wear em dirty or super clean)
That’s right, Ponts!
(Wide whale or a basic jean)
Ponts! Ponts.
(One leg at a time, the old paradigm)
Put on some ponts. Thats right, ponts!
(Is just fine fine with me)
Everybody say Ponts!
INTSTRULUDINATE!
2 measure Instrumental interlude modulation
BRIDGE
let’s dance…with ponts
go to france….with ponts
little romance?…..with ponts
make an advance…..with ponts
CHORUS:
Wear em dirty or super clean
A wide whale or a basic jean
One leg at a time, the old paradigm
Is just fine with me
Ponts! Put on some ponts!
(Wear em dirty or super clean)
That’s right, Ponts!
(Wide whale or a basic jean)
Ponts! Ponts.
(One leg at a time, the old paradigm)
Put on some ponts. Thats right, ponts!
(Is just fine fine with me)
Everybody say Ponts!

Gleefully bonkers. You were clearly having a large amount of fun putting this one together, and the result is a feel-good burst of madness that has left me sitting here with a big grin on my face. "One leg at a time, the old paradigm" is priceless.

So new wave hysterical! I guess I have been pronouncing it wrong all these years. Well done.

Absolutely great lyric and song, Enzo!

This is one of my fave ENZO songs of all time. Brilliant production and the lyrics are exactly what the world needs to hear today (and in that exact pronunciation).
PS - Because "ponts" means "bridges" in French I was very intrigued and thought you may be writing about the Wisconsin mothership.

PONTS!!!! i'll be singing this one all day. well done!
@carleybaer Feb 2022
God dang, there you go again! The production is obviously on point but the lyrics had me dancing and laughing in equal measure. Pretty sure I’ll never call them “pants” ever again.
