This song is sung by Danny and Phineas in
Dude, We're Getting the Band Back Together to try to convince Danny to rejoin Love Händel.
Here's the lyrics -
Danny: Sit down, I'll tell you a little story... (Blues)Danny: When I was a boy, down in South Illinois,
I heard a man playing blues, oh, what a wonderful noise.
He had an old guitar, but not a dollar to his name,
Making music so sad, but he was happy just the same.
He gave me a wink, and said: "Son, let me share the news...
If you want a happy life, you gotta learn to sing the blues!"
(50s "Boogie-Woogie")I asked my daddy for a guitar,
Oh, I begged and I plead,
I said I wanted to play the blues, and he just nodded his head.
Daddy said when he was my age,
"Boogie-Woogie" was the thing-
Phineas: Just take the blues, throw out your hip, and add a little swing...
Danny: Ah, music has the power, that without it, he'd a-sworn
That he'd a never met my mom and I'd a-never been born...
(Psychedelic guitar solo)Phineas: So what's this?Danny: This is Psychedelia; It's where the guitar solo came from.Phineas: No, I mean what's with all the colors?Danny: I have no idea.(Funk)Danny: Ha!
I kept learning
All the powers my guitar had...
I made it go "walka-walka"
'Till it was so good it was bad
Phineas: Just make a face, and stomp that bass,
You can make that rhythm bump...
But this just the blues, played a way that makes you wanna shake your rump!
Danny: I can make you clap your hands...
(Clap, Clap)I can make you get up and dance...
If you wanna shake your booty, my friend,
You gotta give the funk a chance....
(Metal/Rock)Danny: Metal!
Pound your fist in the air!
Metal!
Bang your head full of hair!
It's crunchy, and it's nasty, full of bad attitude...
Phineas: Your parents will think you're crazy,
Your neighbors will think you're rude..
Danny: Believe it or not,
It's all the blues again;
You just add a little fuzz and turn your amp up to 10!
Music has the power to change your life,
Forever!
(Guitar solo) Shuh!
