When all else fails, listening to old records and watching garbage TV always somehow provides refuge from the songwriting rut. Here’s an example.
One: I was bumping some old Sade in anticipation of her new Soldier of Love album. Two, I was flipping channels during halftime of a UW basketball game and landed on Fox News, where Michelle Malkin was back at it doing what she does best, spewing the same old same: Tea Party this, moonbats that. But for the first time in my life, I agreed with her on something: You rappers need to go get a job!
As fate would have it, Sade’s “Feel No Pain” (Love Deluxe, 1992) has a vocal sample with her singing the line “get a job.” What are the chances? So I flipped the beat, sampled the vocals, and wrote this song about my favorite neo-conservative Filipina blogger. And what better timing to share it with you all than on the week that Sade’s new album drops?
I wish all songs came this easily. Don’t you miss when overt racists were in power? Enjoy.
