I'm just gonna shout this one,
I'm just uhh, gonna gonna gonna gonna say this to the people,
not so much the people in the audience as the people sitting in my mind,

Duh dub duh duh dububububububububbbbbb

Donde esta los digits do DJ Rap?

Bring the sound to the people in a white truck Bumpin' on the road bumps
Run into a tree stump
Tweeter out the back door
Slam into the dirt lot, stopped
With the cable runnin' out the backside
Disco naked

And if you had a chance-ah
You wouldn't even stop denying,
Go talk to Anna Hand.
Go start the multiplyin'

Owwww

Blah!

Red

Green is like a boom to the what's dis non.
Diddy on dawn to the don don diggy dawn.

Green is like a boom to the what's dis non.
Diddy on dawn to the don don diggy dawn.

[Chorus:]
Doubt'll be the fire of your delight,
but you're never gonna come back down
A half
The pop song on the five,
but you're never gonna come back down
To grab
The t-shirt off the line,
but you're never gonna come back down
I think she's murderously sly,
but you're never gonna come back down
But you're never gonna come back down,
But you're never gonna come back down,
But you're never gonna come back down,
But you're never gonna come back down,

We are here to save the ERF uhhh. E-R-F uh..

Todd Berry Todd Berry
I'm gonna pay you on an hourly rate, pay you on an hourly rate, rate, rate, rate, rate...

Oh when I woke up and got on the BMT
I saw the boom shuddap and that's fresh to me ..
And they were scrawling on the window with wise-ass keys,
And they were driving out the lots in their Mercurys.

Green is like a boom to the what's dis non.
Diddy on dawn to the don don diggy dawn.

Green is like a boom to the what's dis non.
Diddy on dawn to the don don diggy dawn.

If you had a chance-ah
You wouldn't even stop denying
Go talk to Anna Hand,
Go start the multiplyin'

[Chorus]

He's the doom slinger, the dope beat stinger, sucka DJ's they get stopped by a single finger...

Huh!

He's gonna bubble it up now,

He likes to bubble it up, he likes to bubble it up, he likes to bubble it up, he likes to bubble it up,

Mr. BT, Mr. BT, Mr. BT, Mr. BT,

Please bring it up, bring it up, bring it up, bring it up,

Could you bring it up?
Could you bring it up just a little more than that?
Could you bring it up?
Could you bring it up?
Could you bring it up just...could you bring it up?
Could you bring it up?
Could you bring it up?
Could you bring it up?

Say hallelujah peoples, say hallelujah oh yes!
Yes, yes in the name, the name of, in the name,
In the name,
And it was in my belly bitter,
But in my mouth-ah, it was-ah sweeter.

[Chorus]

You understand?

You know what I'm saying?

Right on to the people up front,
Right to the people in the back,
Right on to the bartender,
Right on to the waitresses,
Right on to the DJ,
Right on,
Right on to the lady with the beer over there in the pink skirt,
Right on to all them English girls named Charisse...
Fucking blonde English girls with ghetto names you know what I'm saying?
I love that shit.

And the seven udders uttered,
The seven unders thundered,
The seven thunders uttered,
The seven utters thuddered, thuddered, thuddered, under, thuddered under
The seven thunders uttered.

Charisse-ah.

[BT:] Fucking excellent man.
[DOUGHTY:] That's what I do for a living..

    General Comment:Yeah. BT is genius. And not just smart -- cuz lots of people are smart and don't do anything with it. BT keeps innovating, working, teaching, performing. He ain't no armchair genius, he's the real deal. You know what I'm sayin'?

    General Comment:I found this online:

    Renowned dance producer BT (whose real name is Brian Transeau) has just released his third solo album, "Movement In Still Life," and the first single from the LP, "Never Gonna Come Back Down," has just cracked the Top 50 at alternative radio, according to "R&R."

    "Never Gonna Come Back Down" was a collaborative effort between BT and former Soul Coughing frontman M. Doughty. The two recently discussed the colorfully bizarre track, which includes Biblical allusions as well as references to the comely Charissa Saverio--also known as DJ Rap.

    "It's just great," Doughty told MTV News. "For 'Never Gonna Come Back Down,' he just picks the mic up and is like, 'All right, get on the mic.' So, whatever, I just went off the top of my head, talkin' about stuff, and [BT] was like, 'OK, do it again.' So, again, off the top of my head, just talkin', and then a third time."

    "Then I went downstairs," he continued, "watched a little 'Braveheart,' got my Mel Gibson on, and then I came back upstairs and it was this track. It was the least labor intensive thing I've ever done in music, so I was like, 'I gotta get with this guy.'"

    BT also admitted that he was surprised at the ease at which the song and the vocals came together.

    "Poor Doughty was like, 'Are you sure you don't want me to do more vocals?'" BT remembered. "I was like, 'No, dude, we got it. We're good, trust me.' It was so cool, because each one of the takes--I mean, we literally [only] did three or four takes--and each one of the takes was about completely dissimilar things."

    "On one he was talking about the book of Revelation," BT added. "One he was talking about DJ Rap. So, it was just insanity, and cutting them together actually ended up making sense."

    "Well, the whole first take is me going, 'Oh, DJ Rap, you're so good looking. Brian, give me DJ Rap's phone number, now!" Doughty said. "And the second one is like, 'And the seven thunders uttered from the book of life.'"

    "So it ends up making sense in some irrational, surreal sort of way," BT interjected.

    "And when we say, 'Never Gonna Come Back Down,' we don't mean drugs," Doughty explained. "Oh, no."

    "No, I still don't know what he means," BT said, laughing. "He won't tell me. He was like, 'I'm writing this in code. No one will ever understand.'"

    "Yeah, like 'Doubt will be the fire,'" Doughty said, referring to some of the song's lyrics. "I was thinking about that. What the f*** does 'Doubt will be fire of your delight' mean?"

    "I have no clue," BT answered. "You wrote it, dude."

    "That's what they tell me," Doughty concluded.

    BT and Doughty have also teamed up for another track, "The Heat And The Hate," that will be featured on Doughty's forthcoming solo album (see "M. Doughty Talks Solo Plans With BT").

    As for BT, he is currently gearing up to launch a tour in support of "Movement In Still Life" on July 12 in Orlando...

    General Comment:Interesting to read everyone's thoughts here. I'm part of the "I have no idea what this song is about, but I like it anyway" crowd. There are several parts in this song that I just really like the sound of, even if the lyrics sound like incoherent babble. :) I would be really interested in knowing where the lyrics came from though. There's got to be some kind of back story there, even if the lyrics themselves don't mean anything.

    General Comment:In an interview with Doughty he was talking about this song. BT told him to start singing about randon stuff, so he did then he went and watched a movie and when he came back BT had made a song out of what he sang.

    General Comment:I'm nearly positive it's "Disconnected" as opposed to "Disco necked." Makes more sense that way.
