Recorded by Kurt Storey at Monkey Fingers Studio in
Nashville, TN on 1-25-99

Basses:

• Fodera 4-string Yin Yang

Notes:

• This song was first recorded on Michael's "Primal Tribal Arts Council" CD. (check out my Radio W-OO-10 page)
• Edgar Meyer played keyboards and Bass on that version.
• A Therimin is an electronic instrument with 2 antennas. One controls pitch and the other controls volume. U just move your hand closer or further away from the antenna to change either.
• The Original Star Trek theme was played on a Therimin.
• This song sounds good in headphones.

Things 2 Listen 4:

• Joseph on the funky Therimin. He played it through a wah-wah pedal. It sometimes sounds like turntables.
• The Bass solo has 8 tracks of bass. I think that it's pretty funky.
• The Swing section. It comes out of nowhere.
• JD's groove regulation.
• Regi's funky strumming on the last chorus.
• "Doobie's" high James Brown style screaming.
• Who says "Make it funky now." ?

Lyrics:

(I'm) workin' like a robot. I'm plugged into the groove.
Cuttin' through the static tracking' anything that moves.
And then I get a message a two-way radio.
I hear it in my headphones everywhere I go.
Big beat… talkin' to me.

(Chorus)
I got the hormones in the headphones streaming down into my backbone.
I got the hormones in the headphones gonna bring them back to you.

Receiving a signal. it's getting' through to me.        
Sweet imagination. It's the thing that sets me free.
I can program you; you can program me…
Body electric. I think we do agree.
Machine language talkin' to me…

(Chorus)
(Bass solo)
(Chorus)…So, open up and let it in. Let the reprogramming begin.
(Swing)
(Chorus)

Acting like a robot, articulated fool.
Your level is so hot, attitude super cool.
Your message is so clear. All conditions go.
Electron flow, angel, make my video.
My memory is talkin' to me.

(Chorus)
So open up and let it in…

Michael Kott
