about

Notes: Much of this album was written right after Prince’s death. I wanted to make some upbeat and funky tracks. Also, I have always liked the sound you make when you pop your finger from your mouth. If it was going to be funky, it also needed some brass.

lyrics

Pop

Hey, it’s me, that dude you seen around,
I got blonde locks and a funky sound,
You can tell by my hat this mother fucker’s down,
Come to Cokato, I’ll show you town.

And you may not like Rap n’ Rolla,
But I can do metal too, if that’s the way to your soul.

(chorus #1)
I’m Turtle T,
And I was born to rock,
I’mma disco fiend,
Make that ass go pop.
(chorus #1)

Listen to Brothers Gibb on the radio,
You gotta start breathing if you want air flow,
Dance in front of me or else you the po’,
You gotta wire? Gonna raid my home?

And I got 21 bars left for you,
Open up, feel the beat, let it funk and groove.

(chorus #2)
I’m from Minnesota,
I was born to rock,
I’mma disco fiend,
Make that ass go pop.
(chorus #2)

Ya feet wanna move, but your brain’s too shy,
Head starts to nod, gotta dip in your side,
Ya hips wanna move, and you don’t know why,
Cause gettin’ down’s American as apple pie.

And I’m the funky captain, of this, funky ship,
Grab your life preserver by the hips.

(Chorus 1 & 2)
