A Proto-Funk Riff

  •  [Funky beat, drums, bass with horn section in the back ]
    A sweating singer, between long musical breaks, grunts and ejaculates into a dark microphone, sporadically emitting unearthly shrieks while moving spasmodically but not without a certain sinuous and serpentine grace on the dimly-lit and smoky stage of an unknown night club. Rhythm guitars scratch out the fill-ins to the deep funk...hmmmm - whatever is the singer singing? Let's listen: "UNH - got ta GIT down...break it down fo' me on the horn now... play yo' bass now - dass right, dass it ...UNH HAH!! C'mown nah.. GOTTA GIT DE ANGELS ON MA SIDE!!! ...break it down... Gonna git ALL THE HOST to follow me....  UNH ! Y'all get ovah here - leave the presence of the King now...leave it me now girl... WOOOH !!  Gonna throw the LAWD right off his throne nah.... Gots to git it ovah nah...HAH ! I'm gonna USURP the place of GOD nah... Unh Unh... HAH ! Come on Angels - dig this beat. We gone overthrow this thing...
    [Song is down to raw drum funky syncopation and bass only here ] Y'all with me? I AM the Lord LUCIFER... We gone cast the heavens down... WOOOH !!
    I shall reign forevermore upon the throne of the Most High now...hear me all you morning stars... I shall sit in the ASSEMBLY of the sides of the North y'all...
    [Horn section comes back in with a vengeance ] God throne gone down nah' !  I say - I say - [singer dances his little dance all over the stage as if in a trance] WOOOH !! I SHALL be exalted forevermore! HAH ! [Singers and guitars come back in ] Woo Woo - say I am the Dragon and the only Morning Star...I AM the shining light of lights y'all...  WOOOH !! Gots ta GIT IT ON nah... Y'ALL choose to folla me so y'all gonna REIGN with me now... UNH !" Etc. etc. etc.

    Oh it's just a form of syncopated rhythmic music. That's all. The kids love it.
    Well my lunch break is almost over now - see you around. Listen to some baroque harpsichord music if you have the time.

    Country/Western is also enjoyable.
