The question is, will me and BJ do a cover of this?

Possibly not, but you ever know.

03 – If You Seek Amy by Akira The Don

Blonde Jeremy & Akira The Don – If You Seek Amy
FIrst dropped: Jan 29th 2010, on ATD20

You dig what’s happening here? That’s right! This week, every day, I’ll be focusing in on a joint from ATD20. A comic strip inspired by the song, and the song itself. Might even be a video one day, you never know. And today, it’s If You Seek Amy, which I did with my ole pal Blonde Jeremy Deacon. Actually, he did the vast majority of it. I just rapped on the end and mastered the thing.

We’ve been talking about doing this ever since I posted the OG version, as performed by Miss Britney Spears, last year. If you peep that post you’ll notice I wasn’t feeling it straight away, but BJ WAS, and made it known in the comments. I think we went for a drink that night, by which time I’d listened to the song about 12 times and was assured of its brilliance.

Anyway, as often happens when I’m doing a mixtape, I reach out to a few of my closest peoples to see if they have any ideas. And BJ reminded me of this. And I was like, yes! I got into the thing on Thursday night, like 11pm, and vibed to it for a while – I was like, rah, this is so nice… classy and sleazy at the same time. A vision came before me. A room, a red curtain, a stage. Then that flow hit me, along with most of the words, and I battered it out on my knackered ole keyboard in my non-touch typing, fore-fingered fashion that sounds like a typewriter and cases my girl no end of grief, stood up, declared myself Awesome, and spat it into my AKG C414B with faith and fire and finesse.

BLAOW!

And later that day, it was unleashed unto the world, as track 3 on ATD20.

BLAOW!

We always say this, but me and BJ really ought to do more stuff together. The last thing we did was that New Theme From Star Trek, FFS. FYI (the acronyms keep on coming!) BJ’s been working on an ALBUM For a year or so, and last time I heard it, the thing was AMAZING. Apparently its gotten better since then. I am well looking forward to it. And you’ll be the first to hear about it, promise.

OK, over and out for the now. Hit the jump for the lyrics (well, my bit anyway). Oh, and keep it locked on the Blob Blog, output has been intensifying over that way lately. And make sure you’re here tomorrow, for another song, and another comic.

I told you I wasn’t messing about this year…

PAX!

Blonde Jeremy & Akira The Don – If You Seek Amy

LYRICS

yeah, yeah

don’s in the club

no mickey mouse

makin like bombs in the club

like everybody out

on my ones in the club

just her up on the stage and the piano man

keep on playing brother

as the red light glows

and the red wine flows

i no longer smoke but its appropriate in this setting

i’m not a betting man

but I’ll buck if she keep undressing

i’m still setting the scene so I suppose I oughta mention

its an overused phrase

but this is definitely lynchian

all its missing is a monkey in the corner

either this is all a dream or I awoke in California

i fell asleep  on a bed of fake tits

but all I ever meant to do was rep my crew and make hits

sorry tracks

songs songs

sorry that you thought you had to sing along

that was wrong of me -

oops I did again though!

but really you aint have to pretend to

that make up makes you look like nick endo

oh i can hear a symphony it seems to me it’s played on nintendo

and as we get to the crescendo

i can hear a cop car howling in the moonlight

but we don’t need nobody comin up in here and messing with us tonight

you’ll only find adam with she

Sweet Baby Jesus and the orphans.

IT IS DONE.

What a trip that was! What a wringer I put myself through! I felt joy! I felt fear! For three hours between 2 and 5 everything I did sounded amazing, then betwen 5 and 10 it sounded frightful! AND NOW I CAN’T TELL ANYMORE! I haven’t slept in 40 hours or something, and I am hallucinating, I can’t hear sound properly anymore, and I nearly went quite batty earlier and felt as if I might tear all my hair out and weep loudly…

…but ATD20 is ALIVE.

Well, it’s really called If You Seek Amy, which is an oh so clever way of spelling F.U.C.K Me.

Remember when The Bloodhound Gang did that with Foxtrot Uniform Charlie Kilo and got banned everywhere?

She does that “bah-beh bah-beh” thing in it though, so it’s not all bad.

Anyway, that’s OK, but I think I like this better:
