June 2013: Zunguzung Variations

by Underwear Everywhere

/
1.
I walked up to a little girl one day. I thought I could just say something funny. As I got close she looked my way. I just stood still while the radio played: “Zunguzungunguzunguzeng” I hope my eyes don’t say what I’m thinking. She might flip, I won’t even get a fling. I sweat puddles and feel that I’m sinking. While the voice on the radio sings: “Zunguzungunguzunguzeng” I got the courage with my feet on the ground. Our summer skin had been slightly browned. On sun soaked sand we dance around. My voice erupted with this simple sound: “Zunguzungunguzunguzeng”

one-two, one-two zungguzung guguzung zungguzung guguzeng zungguzung guguzung zungguzung guguzeng King Yellowman in imagination land King Yellowman and the rooster command Prairie up pilgrims in the imagination land When evolution echoes in the desert Howling remains in the stardust theater King Yellowman and the rooster command Prairie up pilgrims in the imagination land Spin the record like unzipping blue jeans zippers We like a little boom boom Ziggy Stardust theater King Yellowman and the rooster command Prairie up pilgrims in the imagination land When evolution echoes in the dessert Howling remains in the stardust theater

It's like a harp with the leg cut off I think I lost you And now the air begins to fog I think I lost you I should write you down Tell me what you have to say I didn't notice I really ought to write you off But I want you And now my heart begins to fog I forgot that I should write you down Tell me what you have to say I didn't know this

so give up and stop going out the scene is hardly worth it how long do you think you'll last before you're back out in it your heart's a gutter it flows then dries like water you thought you needed a fuck instead you needed a lover and probably a father

How long has it been no one can say I wanted to stare but I looked away I dreamed your dreams and you dreamed mine In the end we had to decline in the time before I was here I know that You wished that you could disappear Now that I'm here and you want to stay I'm Sad to say that I'm going away I'll be back again and again And it makes no sense to ask me when When you Add these things up and divide by two You begin to understand my point of view. ZunguZungGuGuZungguZeng ZunguZunguZungGuGuZunguZeng ZunguZungGuGuZungguZeng ZunguZunguZungGuGuZunguZeng It's not a question of what or how It's not a question of crosses or cows It's as frightening as you care to think We're trapped here right on the brink ZunguZungGuGuZungguZeng ZunguZunguZungGuGuZunguZeng ZunguZungGuGuZungguZeng ZunguZunguZungGuGuZunguZeng

Already lost at early bright Shakes off the crisp of enduring night Dazzled and dazed by how strange it is That a thought could exist that was truly his Snuff out the morning before the evening comes Bury the sunshine beating on twilight's drums LaLaLaLaLaLaLaLa I can't wait for tomorrow Bystanders stand by in the mid-day sun Witness to a stickup with a watergun Bandit calls out as he gets away "It's only play money, anyway!"

My name is midnight, my name is cold bones and whispers. My name is night-thoughts, call me the color kisser. My eyes are streetlights, shadows, mosaic mirrors. My mind of wet-winds, spitting shiny terrors. Doo doo doo, you know it’s how I roll… Superpowers in small hours, you know it’s how I roll... Next to crumpled cardboard, a patch of alley flowers. The limping legs that, measure city blocks into hours. Smoking circles round bus stop pageant contestants, A bag of brain-juice, to help create and imagine. Doo doo doo, you know it’s how I roll… Superpowers in small hours, you know it’s how I roll... In subway echoes and Broadway battles, that make the doors slam and windows rattle. Superpowers in the smallest hours, reciting rainstorms from the dollhouse tower. Doo doo doo, you know it’s how I roll… Superpowers in small hours, you know it’s how I roll...

about

June Parameters:

This month's songwriting conceit is that everyone should use a little melody that I've been chasing around the world for many years now. As you'll hear in this mega-mix I made, the "Zunguzung" tune turns up in dozens and dozens of songs -- sometimes to support the chorus, sometimes as a one-off allusion, and with varying degrees of fidelity to the Yellowman original(s). Here's the mix --
