FAWM: "Take Back the Night // The Funky 8 (lyrics)"

Take Back the Night // The Funky 8 (lyrics)

Skirmish: Make it your own (please ... (@robinleaf)

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

Another quick little lyric write. I took the skeleton of “Blackbird” and re-wrote the lyrics imagining kind of a 70s funk vibe with lots of wah-wah and the beat is being built up through the verses… Dua Lipa style could work too 🤷‍♂️ maybe I’ll come back to this and make a track later #skirmish #lyricsonly #lyrics

Lyrics

The Funky 8 knockin on your door
Fix these broken Beats 1, 2, 3,
4 on the floor
Now the groove is building
We can dance on the 4x4s

The Funky 8 here to animate
Bring your shoes to life and demonstrate
Rubber soles cruise like skates
Groove getting so heavy
Like carrying atomic weight

Take back the night
Take back the night
Let the funk take flight into the morning light

The Funky 8 knockin on your door
Fix these broken Beats 1, 2, 3,
4 on the floor
Now the groove is building
We can dance on the 4x4s

The Funky 8 here to animate
Bring your shoes to life and demonstrate
Rubber soles cruise like skates
Groove getting so heavy
Like carrying atomic weight

Take back the night
Take back the night
Let the funk take flight into the morning light
Let the funk take flight into the morning light
Into the morning light

This is so much fun - I hope it gets music!!! My favorite part is "Fix these broken Beats 1, 2, 3, 4 on the floor." Great skirmish!

That’s an effective lyric, stating a goal that listeners can relate to or might even take for granted. I see where it came from, but also how it stands on its own merits.

This is a very fun flow, especially love "1 2 3, 4 on the floor"

That was a lot of fun. I got many of the "quotes"
Check out mine... Great minds think alike. You even mention the song I paraphrased and transformed. 😁
