    Story Behind the Song
    This song started as a ambient jazz number called 'November 9th 1965' but when we added a new funky beat, it evolved into a hipper-happier tune. Alicia Dara (local Seattle folk/rock artist) came into the recording sessions and laid down a distinctly R&B flavored vocal, turning it into a cross between Prince and Janet Jackson. The jazzy breakdown in the middle of the song is made up of chords my guitar teacher would be proud of.. thanks Hans Fahling! Recorded at Quiddity Studios, Seattle, Wa.

    Lyrics
    My baby’s got work day worries
    So I sing my trouble song
    We're gonna drive into the city
    And dance together all night long
    Maybe I shouldn’t act so crazy
    Life has a beat that pulls you in
    My Momma said all God’s children
    Need their own dancing shoes

    Ooh, ooh, ooh, it’s alright
    Ooh, ooh if you’ve got a funky record
    Well come on now
    Spin it again

    My baby’s got a brand- new face now
    He looks good and satisfied
    I’m a fiery downtown angel
    In his sweet arms tonight
    Tonight there’s a new sensation
    We don’t care where we are
    We’re gonna fly into the music
    We’re gonna climb into the stars

    Ooh, ooh, ooh, it’s alright
    Ooh, ooh if you’ve got a funky record
    Well come on now
    Spin it again

    You know there’s no- one above you
    You know I can’t live alone
    Here on earth without your smile
    When you look my way
    And we dance real close
    Closer, closer

    My baby’s got no more worries
    We dance close and he pulls me in
    You gotta learn to call the rhythm
    Into your heart, under your skin
    Stray dogs they say I’m crazy
    You’re a slave to your appetite
    I am a fiery downtown angel
    In my baby’s arms tonight
