The New Swing

The duet. There has to be a duet. We'll use Minotaur, he has an ugly voice. This is an unapologetic rip-off of Lyle Lovett and his Large Band, another act who makes antique style music palatable to todays audience. Making Nellie "talk" inside the singing software was tricky. Did you ever try to notate the pitch and timbre changes of speech? Not easy. Anyway, this was a lot of fun to write and produce.

 

My
Fantasies

 

 

HIM:
I got my head in my hands and I’m all alone
I been a’sittin’all night by the telephone
Cause I’ve been fantasizing about you
And going crazy
But I can’t call you up because I’m too darn lazy!

HER:
We all live in our fantasies
It’s just too hard to get by
with just lonely realities,but
I don’t wanna be stuck in my dreams forever
I wanna get with you and be together!

BOTH:
You’re the heart of my fantasies
You’re the part that I always see
I can’t eat a bite
I can’t sleep at night
I’m lonely tonight without you
What can I do?
All I want from my fantasies is you.

HIM:
(now you know) No one can compare
To your fantasies
That’s what they always say
And everyone agrees.
But you know it’s funny,
I just can’t believe them
Cause when I close my eyes
there’s someone real beneath them.

HER:
(Listen to me honey)
In the world
that I keep down inside
I got a wonderful dream boy,who
makes me feel satisfied,and
If I ever break down and do something about it
You know that you’re the one to whom I’ll shout it!

BOTH:
You’re the heart of my fantasies
You’re the part that I always see
I can’t eat a bite
I can’t sleep at night
I’m crying tonight without you
What can I do?
All I want from my fantasies is you.

HIM: I got a fantasy about you and me
HER: (you’re such a bad boy!)
HIM: I got a feeling I know how it will be
HER: (Tell me all about it!)
HIM: Cause you and me are gonna be so good
BOTH: They’ll think we’re burning down the neighborhood

HIM: You’re gonna wear your little satin sheath
HER: Oh yeah,the one I wear with nothing underneath (how’d you know about that?)
HIM: We’ll dance and look into each other’s eyes
BOTH: What happens next... won’t be no surprise, Baby....

BOTH:
You’re the heart of my fantasies
You’re the part that I always see
I can’t eat a bite
I can’t sleep at night
It just isn’t right without you
What can I do?
All I want from my fantasies is you.
