about
I wrote this tune for 2 pals of mine who got hitched, Shauna and Kyle.
lyrics
I've not been around you two
but I've been around the world
and I've heard your romance
told in several tongues
in passing small talk, in jokes and limericks
in myths, parables, religious texts, and hymnals
but most of all in popular song
In Indonesia shadow puppets
tell your tale to gamelan gongs
And in Portugal there's a festival
where they mate two water dogs
While every year in Israel
Batsheva puts on a ballet
in which the leads take your names
In Ireland they often joke,
"And my asscheeks are the ever embracing Kyle & Shauna!"
Meanwhile in Ghana
your Adinkra symbol, a two-headed fish,
is found on wedding garments
And in Barrow, Alaska
they count down the sunless days
of your monthlong tryst of hadal darkness
Then there's Atlanta
Where Emcees spit to a beat called poly
a breakneck hemiola
your sampled pulses spliced up and volleyed
And Akihabara
Japan's Electric Town
Where they say your consciences were jacked
into some console in an arcade
before fulfilling a lover's pact
to forever play the game
