Description

I've been wanting to write a party song for a while. At the same time, i've been wanting to write a self referential tune, you know, one of those 'i'm not promoting myself i'm being ironic but yet i'm promoting myself' type of tunes, you know, for the kids. Anyway here's both at once, and a contribution to LioLi to boot.

Lyrics

all kinds of cats in the house
mary's got her guitar out
hey man you know she can play
the sun is shining and we're making hay
hey

two's company
three's a crowd
this here's a party everybody get down
two's company
three's a crowd

the girls are laughing out loud
dancing to the tempie sound
hey man they know what they got
a smooth trot and a alot of hot
yeah

two's company
three's a crowd
this here's a party everybody get down

	ultimate cross over tune. definitely hear the wildcherry/prince tone and it sounds fabulous with the Tempie lyrical vocal lines. The breaks are worthy of their own grammy. Way to splice those cuts Mr C Check out my latest song called Texas stump

tempie	tempie said 92 days ago (August 24th, 2009)
	crossing over the thing about crossing over is that you don't know if it's the act of leaving or arriving that bears poignancy. i've got absolutely no idea what the hell that means but i'll take that grammy. thanks for the listen dude, always glad when you like a tempie tune. Check out my latest song called Get Away with Murder Eyes (5XArms Cover)

	Prince and Larry the cable guy. hahahaha. I'm actually seeing the move where he does the splits and slides back up. All joking aside, the music is killer. Funky as hell. I tried adding horns to a song recently. They never sound as good as when you put them in. That Brats doll is leggy and stacked. Just how I like my Brats dolls. Check out my latest song called Anarchy, Inc.

tempie	tempie said 93 days ago (August 24th, 2009)
	he likes it like that dude, you are like a sam's club 3 month size margarine tub of wit. no joke. that's hilarious. and that's how i like my Bratz dolls too. Check out my latest song called Get Away with Murder Eyes (5XArms Cover)

That's right!
It's "Bratz", not "Brats". It's weird because I realized it was wrong, but it was spelled right so I was confused. Fortunately, my daughter never went through a Bratz phase. Unfortunately, I'm going full blast in to my Bratz phase after looking at that song pic. Seriously, though. Great song. You really made something different with this tune. Tempie sound for sure.

Hey, stop it
I have that afro growing now.

Great use of the killer stop and go effect. check this, by the way, if you have three minutes to spare:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCkh-WJgjwA
it's been a great hit in France (which I agree doesn't especially recommends it).

May gives you an idea for your next promotion scheme.

j'
i love that whole start/stop thing. nothing better in a club when you're dancing to a huge beat and then it stops and you KNOW it's coming back but don't know when...i love that sense of waiting. cool tune - great video - love how the country people are checking him out with a combination of "hey cool something different and WTF????"

	Kicking it Dirty Mind style Loving the funky Tempie sound - and the break is too much - definitely turn the heads on the dance floor - mini robot tweaking. Check out my latest song called How Long?

	Interesting Cool party track, with interesting lyrics and I like what you have done with the effects on the voice. It has a funky way thats infectious. Well done Tempie. Check out my latest song called Space Program (Space Race 2009)

	Shut up! Already! Reminds me most of housequake by Prince. Don't ask me why, listen to it. Love the vocoder with the chorus. You complained about too much bass in my song, so I have to beg you (with all objectivity, of course) to turn up the damn bass. Really get those booties moving. Check out my latest song called Bernard

That BraTz girl
could steal my heart. Think she may have been to Plasticville before, she seems really familiar, maybe she was that funky party girl at Plasticville High that wore leather Rag City Blues jeans. Wrote her a love letter. She didn't answer. After graduation I went into Secret Action Forces, and she went into show biz. Sigh.

LOVE the crazy rythym here, stopping and starting is utterly Princesesque. This needs a video in the worst way. Brilliant tasty demented chocolaty genius with nuts everywhere, bring on the leather pants, baby.

	the Tempie sound is a much better name than dance pattern #43 and the loopy loop has had some work done to it.... its all tucked, lifted and firmed (but I bet it denies the rumors just like all the stars do). You made this one a huge star... Check out my latest song called Halloween Wandering/PickQuickRecords

VillageIdiot	VillageIdiot said 76 days ago (September 10th, 2009)
	Makes me very happy All the textures in this... it's brilliant. The way that twangy loop goes against that hissy hi hat with the bouncy bass. An lesson in how to use a few totally different elements imaginatively. And the piano breaks against the kind of watch-like precision of everything else is great. Check out my latest song called Cakeless

	party on i got in the Crack Up mode looking at your doll and hearing the first measure of music. good funk, and the little quieter parts are quirkily perfect. sure, this had me leaning off my chair in anticipation of the music starting up after stopping. you made me look! 8) enjoyed this, anne Check out my latest song called HOW WOULD I KNOW
