I promised the world a song this week, or at least the lyrics for a song, and I aim to keep my promises. This is actually part of a long term goal/passion project I have been cooking up for years now. It’s a total comic book nerd concept album, which will mix my love for comics with my favorite music types, namely rock, punk, new wave, big band, and pop. It’s like the best of comics meets the best of rock n roll for the Marvel Team Up of the century! At least that’s the idea. I have a long ways to go before I can assemble the musical Avengers to help me record this album, in the meantime I’ll keep writing down lyrics and making mental notes for how I want each song to sound. Imagine that this song will be accompanied by a new wave/post punk sound à la Devo. Here it is ladies and germs, the once and future hit single by the inimitable comicore band, the Dead Stacys:
BAMF!
You want to go where you want to go.
Big puff of smoke, then you’re on you own – there you go
You want to live a life of mystery
Smile on your face, cuz they’ll never know where you’ll be
You want to go – BAMF!
You want to go – BAMF!
You want to go – BAMF!
You want to go – BAMF!
You want to go, you want to go, you want to go, you want to go – BAMF!
You want to keep the party moving
Indigo skin, making friends – cuz your so charming
You want to be where the action is
Floss and fly thru the crowd – yes you are the shiz
You want to go – BAMF!
You want to go – BAMF!
You want to go – BAMF!
You want to go – BAMF!
You want to go, you want to go, you want to go, you want to go – BAMF!
You may turn a head or two when peeps see your Mystique grow
Grab the head that you like the most and it’ll disappear when you go…
BAMF!
You want to go where you want to go.
Big puff of smoke, then you’re on the go – head in tow
You want to live a life of mystery
Smile on your face, cuz they’ll never know where you’ll be
You want to go – BAMF!
You want to go – BAMF!
You want to go – BAMF!
You want to go – BAMF!
You want to go, you want to go, you want to go, you want to go – BAMF!
