Lead vocal: Ginger Snap and Clare de Lune. We usually end the show with this tipsy waltz. By then the audience is enchanted, and drunk enough to sing along on the chorus.

abaret Decadance is a vaudeville style revue - with a troupe of singers and dancers backed by a live band. We perform tightly integrated narrative song and dance with a vintage feel that is carnivalesque and quaintly bawdy.abaret Decadance is burlesque in the original sense - parody & satire. Our perspective is distinctly feminine and a bit queer. Our aesthetic is playfully old-fashioned, but we are neither historical re-enactors nor preservationists. We are aesthetic anachronists. We mine the past for lost beauty and forgotten meanings. We love to sing life back into genres of "obsolete culture" long discarded by the corporate culture industry. Cabaret Decadance is funny, thought provoking, and the old-fashioned kind of sexy that comes from the heart rather than the store.

Story behind the song
Cabaret Decadance is joined on this song by Mortimer Bustos and Patrick Rollinson who were at Misunderstudio at the time, recording the Bourbon Knights' last album. Bustos later asked Dr. Xenos and Oliver Klozoff to join his band Hobo Knife. Cabaret Decadance adopted Hobo Knife's rhythm section: James Ricks (Bourbon Knights, Bottle Tones) on bass, Greg Edwards (Bourbon Knights, Woodbox Gang) drums. When the Cabaret opened for Hobo Knife at the Walpurgisnacht bash at PK's in 2010, well, like the flyer said, it was: "a union of cosmic proportions..."
Lyrics
