Got me in that bad funk again
Got my soul sunk again, oh no
Gotta get so damn drunk again
Got my soul sunk again, oh no
Those low down, black dog, dirty skunk
Laid a cloud of futile, good lord it stunk
Rolled my soul in a ball and slam dunk
Begone, you dirty skunks!
People ask how it’s going
You gotta say that it’s going, just fine
But those skunk juices flowing
Expelled from their black and white behinds
Those low down, black dog, dirty skunk
Laid a cloud of futile, good lord it stunk
Rolled my soul in a ball and slam dunk
Begone, you dirty skunks!
Drink some water,
Even those paralysed by the meaninglessness of modern life
Gotta drink water from time to time
You thought it was a pretty good line
Ill tell you something,
It wasn’t even mine
Kurt Vonnegut, Palm Sunday, 1981, p109
What’s that coming over the hill?
There’s a herd, or a warren or a pack
I'm unsure of the correct, collective noun
I know there’s a lot of em,
And they’re coming to stay at my house, on my couch
Those low down, black dog, dirty skunk
Laid a cloud of futile, good lord it stunk
Rolled my soul in a ball and slam dunk
Begone, you dirty skunks!

I was initially drawn toward Vulfpeck's earlier instrumental tracks. This album effectively earned my respect for their vocal works. Listening to "Running Away" and "Baby I Don't Know" is like uncovering buried gems from the 1970's. "Hero Town" sounds like an instrumental outtake from Three Dog Night's "Hard Labor" album with deeper bass, earning my respect for Jack Stratton's mixing skills. I would love to see him do a masterclass for mixing in the Vulf Conservatory. t0cktock
