Dinner With The Kannibles

(C) 2009 Robert Lattin All Rights Reserved

from the digital album "The Abduction of a Rock Guitarist"

(animal noises, an arrow into a door and a scream)

I peeked out my window and what did I see?

A moving truck, new neighbors moving in next to me

They had spears, weird animals and a huge barbeque

They played wild jungle music and there was screaming too

(a dinner a dinner a dinner chow, a dinner a dinner a dinner now)

Well one day we got an invitation to go over there for a meal

I told my wife about it and asked her how she would feel

She said "They're our new neighbors, let's go and don't be rude!"

Against my better judgment we'd go to the barbeque!

(a dinner a dinner a dinner chow, a dinner a dinner a dinner now)

Man I saw live chickens and heard a loud squeal

I was losin' my appetite and I wasn't ready for any meal.

They brought in some kind of meat sliced with a huge knife

I looked all around but you know what? I couldn't find my wife!

(a dinner a dinner a dinner chow, a dinner a dinner a dinner now)

Where'd she go?

Honey! Are you there?

Well, I wasn't hungry but they told me to eat

They told me when dinner was over that uh I was in for a treat

Then my wife came in from some room, she was in some sort of a trance

My neighbor started drumming and my wife began to dance!

Look at her go!

(a dinner a dinner a dinner chow, a dinner a dinner a dinner now)

She got the move!

She dances with her closed!

Where'd she get those knives?

((jazz record interlude))

(audience clapping)

Oh OH!

Honey?! Where did she go?

(a dinner a dinner a dinner chow, a dinner a dinner a dinner now)

Well I felt relieved when I thought that dinner was through

They said it was just beginning - Time for the barbeque!

I said I wasn't hungry I was uh, feeling kinda ill (aww)

Then they tied me up and carried me out to the grill!

Ow!

(a dinner a dinner a dinner chow, a dinner a dinner a dinner now)

Be careful with that knife!

Has anyone seen my wife?

Oh oh!

You can hear the song here on this post: Dinner With The Kannibles

Well I hope you sang along. I still like this song - and it seems that where ever I move, there's always a new neighbor moving next to me.

Rajneesh: Song About the Adventures of a Lovable Indian Boy

From Wikipedia:
Khan as "Raji" in Maya, circa 1967.

Updated May 20, 2015

What can be more interesting than the mischievous adventures of a lovable Indian boy?

Some of the greatest music comes out of India. Most of what I have heard where from old LP's, India TV, and 90's pop videos. I fell in love with the sound and found a great radio station in Chicago that played contemporary Indian music.

As a composer, my catalogue would feel incomplete if I did not have a song which is about India, with Indian influences in the song itself. So what better reason to write an Indian song that could be a soundtrack for an action adventure song about a young Indian boy, like a young Sajid Khan, and how he gets in and out of trouble in the big city. Let's say he was from Kerala and moves to Bombay.

So I want to reintroduce this story and the song. No song would be complete with this genre if it didn't include elephants contributing to the beat and feel of this exciting song. And, being a guitarist, it has to have guitar in it to help support it edginess as well.

Here's Rajneesh: The story of a young boy from southern India who had a hypnotic power over the animals of the jungle. His saga starts when he realizes that he has this power and is trying to control it.
 


Personal note:: This is still one of my favorites. I always loved the music of India - it's chord progression, the love story duets, and even the retro pop songs. This song is intended for soundtrack use but is also the perfect song to dance to.

Yes it's also a dance song!
