DEÄTHMÜFFIN UPDATE: I DREAMED THEY BEHEADED JAMES BROWN LAST NIGHT ON LETTERMAN

[defrog]

The Banäna Deäthmüffins plan for world domination is well on track, despite the lack of a major label deal, an American Idol appearance or any discernable talent.

So far the critics have compared us to Franz Ferdinand by way of Green Day, Butthole Surfers and Stan Freberg. We’re pretty sure that’s good.

Anyway, we’re now hoping to add The Bollocks Brothers to that list with our new chart-scraping single, “I Dreamed They Beheaded James Brown Last Night On Letterman”.

It’s a dance song.

Listen.

LYRICS SHEET

====================================

I dreamed they beheaded James Brown last night on Letterman
They put him on a gurney surrounded by doctors in surgical gowns
Paul Shaffer and the CBS Orchestra started playing “Night Train”
James was lying there singing and laying it down

The doctors sliced off his head and pulled it away from his shoulders
James kept on singing because he was hardest working man in show biz
And you can’t stop the Godfather of Soul because he’s too powerful
And you don’t stop for something trivial like decapitation

So they cut off his head again and again like a magic show
They did it verse for verse. They took it to the bridge 

BREAK IT DOWN!

I dreamed they beheaded the Godfather of Soul on Letterman
Because that was the way the Godfather wanted to go
They used a Thomas stainless steel ginsu knife
It cut through his neck like they was carving a meatloaf

They chose the camera angles carefully to avoid FCC fines
But his head came off just the same, there’s no denying
James kept on singing because he was Soul Brother Number One
And you don’t stop for something trivial like dying

They cut off his head again and again like a magic show
They did it verse for verse. They took it to the bridge 

BREAK IT DOWN!

I dreamed they beheaded the Godfather of Soul on Letterman
They never said why he chose to go out like that
Was it real or another late night ratings stunt?
I woke up before I could learn the truth 

Would they have revealed it if I’d stayed asleep?
I don’t know and maybe I never will
But I do know one thing: 
James Brown was the Godfather

They cut off his head again and again like a magic show
They did it verse for verse. They took it to the bridge
