It'll make your day

Today, the song we are singing is "la la la I can't heeeeear you" to the weather reports, because we are refusing to accept that it is snowing on the date of the vernal equinox.

And by "we," of course I mean Violet and me. The other residents of Belfry HQ have their heads under the covers and are refusing to come out.

Since it is Friday, here is a dose of funk.

The garden is waking up, and so am I. More next week, I hope.

And the rhythm of vision is a dancer

There's a lot going on here, but I'm always struck by the lyrical genius of George Clinton. Look up the words to this jam  -- say on MetroLyrics -- and marvel in the wordplay.

But first, go wiggle.

Ah forget it, let's go boogie

It's miserably cold here, so let's dream of southern California, sunshine, and palm trees while we get funky.

their dirges and their ditties and their blues and jubilees

Some New Orleans funk for the end of the Mardi Gras season:

After all the reasons why

Do we really need a reason for Earth Wind and Fire? Aren't they reason enough on their own?

whatcha gonna do when the novelty wears off of your style?

Well?

When I do it, I be stickin' to it

Close encounters of the funky kind ...

Hitch up your reindeer

This 'getting ready for Christmas' thing, y'all -- I'm not sure I've got a handle on it this year. It's getting away from me.

You don't have to get it

but don't blame me if you don't know how to groove.

When I got up in the morning, there was music in my house

Watch for the signs that lead in the right direction

Wise words as the holiday travel season approaches.

Don't have to explain it

Just trying to make it

Who do you call when your feet won't move?

It's been a week. Let's have some funk.

The disco fiend with the monster sound

Preoccupied and dedicated
To the preservation of the motion of hips

Give 'em what they want

and what they want is some hot funk on a Friday afternoon.

Just get on up and do your stuff

After a short hiatus, we resume your weekly doses of funk.

Same old thing

But it still is good.

Dancing in September

Seasonal funk.

Catch 'em! Catch 'em!

I feel like this funk is somewhat out of season but I am not willing to wait until spring to post it.
