A tongue-in-cheek celebration of the inking of our society!
The music is original, creative and from the heart. I hope you have as much fun listening as I had making it. Thanks for tuning in. Keep fighting the good fig
'Perfusion' is the moniker for this one-man musical juggernaut. I record all of my own material in the basement, after the kids are asleep! One track has a female backing vocal but all the rest is just l'il ol me. About 2/3 of the songs were done using Studio One - 3 and ProTools computer based software and the others on the Boss BR 1180 free-standing workstation.
In 2015 and 2016, string orchestra pieces I wrote were features in the season with the Turtle Creek Chamber Orchestra. In 2011 I was honored to receive the Janesville Arts Council People's Choice Award for Outstanding CD/Song for "I Married the Prom Queen"...
Story behind the song
The combinations of imagery and attitude with which one can adorn one's bodice these days is limited only by the imagination!
Lyrics
Shes much smarter than me, shes got a PhD,
Very pretty and shes witty, shes got class,
She stands five foot seven, a body from heaven,
The boys and even the girls respect her clothes.
But theres just one issue, its kind of hard to miss,
You overlook it with her most impressive stats,
But when were on the beach or even at the Y,
Youll see my babys got too many tats.
Chorus:
Too many tattoos - Epidermis with an attitude
Tattoos Got a Technicolor birthdays suit
Tattoos more colors than the United Nations
Tattoos cant tell if shes black, white or Asian
Shes got barbed wire on her arm, Springsteen on her shoulder,
And grape vines growing up in to her hair,
Shes got angels and Jesus and the birth of Venus,
And train that leads from here to who knows where.
Shes covered head to toe in multimedia,
Shes my favorite encyclopedia,
More art work on her cover than on Rolling Stone,
Shes even got the Mona Lisa but its out on loan.
Chorus:
Theres Willie Nelson theres a dragon, theres a kid with a wagon,
Theres a pixy and a fairy and a toad,
A purple lotus blossom, a rhino and a possum,
Elvis, Gandhi, Marilyn Monroe,
Too many tattoos - Epidermis with an attitude
Tattoos Got a Technicolor birthdays suit
Tattoos more colors than the United Nations
Tattoos cant tell if shes black, white or Asian
Just give me some skin Im not asking for trouble
No ink and no needles , need it soft and supple,
Id settle for a spot where the sun dont shine
Got it named already, call it mine all mine, Lead
Chorus:
Theres Willie Nelson theres a dragon, theres a kid with a wagon,
Theres a pixy and a fairy and a toad,
A purple lotus blossom, a rhino and a possum,
Elvis, Gandhi, Marilyn Monroe,
Too many tattoos - Epidermis with an attitude
Tattoos Got a Technicolor birthdays suit
Tattoos more colors than the United Nations
Tattoos cant tell if shes black, white or Asian
