Ciao Chow Boogie

Dood another word tune jam with Pater Ball of Apartment One today and got this odd offspring called Ciao Chow Boogie.

I call it lumber rock because I just lumber around the music golem-like having a good old time

This is the last 50 seconds of our first attempt with a minute music bridge leading to my second attempt which I’m kind of fond of in spots, awkwardness and all.

Poem comes from 2000, with the italicized choruses added today so we’d have something to record since no new woulds arrived.

Ciao Chow Boogie

Ciao chow boogie, go down wail gone
Sassafras the fancies she’s my daddy-o mom
My moldy goldy oldie, my crazy maybe one

Dance without pattern, reshuffle the stars
Brighten your lantern, shake up their sad are

Raise sin to sensation, peel feel from the ground
No explanation, just loose liquid sound
Undress in nude nation, do the two-back get down

Play within patterns which muffle their mar
Fight their dark lantern and break their code bar

Riding now into never with every sly lie
I’m cool cat copacetic in absolute time
Jig forever together in metaphoric fire

Dance with my pattern, reruffle their raw
Light my own lantern, wreck their zone war
