<\/a>\nErica Campbell and lingerie.<\/p>\n
But here’s a less obvious combo.\u00a0 You may not see how these two songs fit together at first, but try bashing your head against something hard while holding your breath.\u00a0 If that doesn’t work, try drinking a bottle of bourbon and then doing that thing where you bend over and put your forehead against a baseball bat and then use the bat as a pole to spin your drunk-on-bourbon ass around about ten times and then try to run in a straight line as fast as you can.<\/p>\n Go do that.\u00a0 I’ll be right here waiting for you.<\/p>\n Oh, and check out these two links:<\/p>\n “Cosmic Slop” by Funkadelic<\/a> Are you back yet?\u00a0 Are you bleeding and\/or drunk?\u00a0 I’ll try to make this quick before you pass out.\u00a0 At first these two songs seem to have almost nothing in common.\u00a0 The subject matter is different for both, and the whole “vibe” and “feel” of the music is at nearly polar opposites for something in a Rock\/Country style.<\/p>\n But there are similarities.\u00a0 Both songs use a 4\/4 time signature, both feature drums, guitars, basses and vocals.<\/p>\n So here is what I propose you do, in your mind’s ear.\u00a0 You know, like your mind’s eye, but with your ear instead.\u00a0 Merge these songs into one.\u00a0 Go ahead, try to hear “Cosmic Slop” played in the style of “Amos Moses”.\u00a0 It’s not a mashup, but more like a blended new version.\u00a0 And it came to me one day as I was reclining here in my swivel chair.<\/p>\n The lyrics remain those of “Cosmic Slop”, but it’s all done in moonshine hillbilly style.\u00a0 YEEEEE-HAW!!!!<\/p>\n Wouldn’t such a creation be way fucking rad?\u00a0 I do believe it to be true.<\/p>\n I will now commemorate the sheer, blinding awesome that emanates from this idea by composing a haiku.<\/p>\n Ahem…<\/p>\n Got your Country Funk Bask!\u00a0 Bask in the magnificence that I bring!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Some things just belong together.
