“a = Dancing” – Ancient Human League Song Discovered
Or, My Best Phil Oakey Impression
Last night I started singing some stupid lyrics to myself, as I am wont to do. Weirdly, these lyrics are more appropriate for a crap early ’80s song, as opposed to the vaguely sincere ’70s music where I am usually stuck. So perhaps I’ll enter into the ’90s in a few years.
Regardless, please enjoy this silly little song. I apologize that I haven’t released any “serious” music in a while, but there are some tracks in the works. However, this does have a very “Mike” section as the bridge.

a = Dancing
Lyrics:
[Bridge]
(Our hero’s thoughts:) Just make your choice, A or B, make your choice for me
(Said to the “7.3”:) Make up your mind, do it right now, we’re running out of time
(The “7.3”‘s response:) Oh! Give me some more time, I can’t decide
(Dance club manager:) Hey, if you’re not gonna dance, get off the floor
[Chorus reprise]
If anyone in the Chicago area would be interested in helping make a super ’80s-tastic video for this, that’d be awesome. Key-tars, white suits, and rain slicked streets with bad dancing. Oh, and the survey that the dude gives the chick would be in crayon.
Because I’ve been asked a couple times, yes, that’s me doing the backing vox that sound like a girl. Shockingly, it’s unprocessed, so I think it’s just the mix that makes it sound so very feminine. I hope.
Yr bddy in a sknny tie,
Mike
