JIMI HENDRIX

1983...(A MERMAN I SHOULD TURN TO BE)

HURRAY! I AWAKE FROM YESTERDAY,
ALIVE BUT THE WAR IS HERE TO STAY.
SO MY LOVE CATHERINA AND ME,
DECIDE TO TAKE OUR LAST WALK THRU THE NOISE TO THE SEA.
NOT TO DIE BUT TO BE REBORN,
AWAY FROM THE LAND SO BATTERED AND TORN…
FOREVER…

FOREVER…

OH SAY CAN YOU SEE IT'S REALLY SUCH A MESS,
EVERY INCH OF EARTH IS A FIGHTING NEST.
GIANT PENCIL AND LIPSTICK-TUBE-SHAPED THINGS,
CONTINUE TO RAIN AND CAUSE SCREAMIN' PAIN,
AND THE ARCTIC STAINS FROM SILVER BLUE TO BLOODY RED,
AS OUR FEET FIND THE SAND AND THE SEA…

IS STRAIGHT AHEAD…
STRAIGHT UP AHEAD…

WELL IT'S TOO BAD THAT OUR FRIENDS

CAN'T BE WITH US TODAY…
(WELL IT'S TOO BAD)
THE MACHINE THAT WE BUILT
WOULD NEVER SAVE US , THAT'S WHAT THEY SAY…
(THAT'S WHY THEY AIN'T COMIN' WITH US TODAY.)
AND THEY ALSO SAID “IT'S IMPOSSIBLE (sible…sible…sible…)

FOR A MAN TO LIVE AND BREATHE UNDERWATER…
FOREVER” WAS A MAIN COMPLAINT.
(YEAH…AND THEY ALSO THREW THIS IN MY FACE THEY SAID, UH,)
ANYWAY…YOU KNOW GOOD AND WELL
IT WOULD BE BEYOND THE WILL OF GOD…
AND THE GRACE OF THE KING.
(GRACE OF THE KING…YEAH…)

SO MY DARLING AND I MAKE LOVE IN THE SAND,
TO SALUTE THE LAST MOMENT EVER ON DRY LAND.
OUR MACHINE HAS DONE ITS WORK, PLAYED ITS PART WELL:
WITHOUT A SCRATCH ON OUR BODY AND WE BID IT FAREWELL.
STARFISH AND GIANT FOAMS GREET US WITH A SMILE,
BEFORE OUR HEADS GO UNDER WE TAKE OUR LAST LOOK AT THE KILLING NOISE…
OF THE OUT OF STYLE.
THE OUT OF STYLE, OUT OF STYLE…

OOOO…

SO DOWN AND DOWN AND DOWN AND DOWN

AND DOWN AND DOWN WE GO…
HURRY MY DARLIN’ WE MUSTN'T BE LATE,
FOR THE SHOW.
NEPTUNE CHAMPION GAMES TO AN AQUA WORLD

IS SO VERY DEAR.
”RIGHT THIS WAY,” SMILES A MERMAID.
I CAN HEAR ATLANTIS FULL OF CHEER!
ATLANTIS FULL OF CHEER….
I CAN HEAR ATLANTIS FULL OF CHEER!

SONG PARODIES:

I did some song parodies for the Christmas / New Years season of 2006 - 2007. Our friends got a kick out of them, and we got picked up by a radio station in the bargain! We originally showed these parodies on our CHALKBOARD page, but since that department is for temporary information disclosures, we decided to save them here when we wiped the Board.

RED SUIT is a takeoff on the 12-bar Blues classic “Red House” by Jimi Hendrix, from the Are You Experienced Album.

NEW RESOLUTION is a parody of “Black Magic Woman” by another of my favorite musicians, Carlos Santana.

PURPLE HAZED is (of course) based on “Purple Haze” by Jimi Hendrix. Just for fun. J

And MISUNDERSTOOD is a heavy rock cover of “Don’t Let Me Be Misunderstood” by Eric Burdon and the Animals.
