I'm undaunted,
Yes, and I'm a wanted man;
I got rhymes so sleek and smooth
It's like I'm haunted
And possessed by the news
Of the hip and the hop.
Pay my dues
Til I reach the top
Of the heap
And then the crown is mine to keep.
I burn the midnight oil while they're all asleep,
I bring home the jams without skipping a beat.
Keep the party going, get you off of your feet.
Break!
Well, in disbelief you stare in wonder
Circular time has gone asunder
You surrender to the bass line thunder
Cause I'm groovin it, all without a blunder
No drugs, no drinking
But you're in a trance,
No doubt start thinkin'
And you start to dance
And you can't resist.
So I persist and you enlist,
And it goes like this:
Sing!

Chorus
I must be doing something right!
Just keep it moving, 'cause I'm dancing in the light.
I must be doing something right, right, right,
Out of the darkness 'cause I'm dancing in the light!

Now don't you touch that dial
'Cause you know you'd walk a mile
For rhymes in style
Brought to you by this smile.
I'm a man for all seasons;
If your chillin', I'm freezin'.
That's the reason
I'm always seekin'
About the moment
My mind is constantly roamin',
Searchin', seekin',
Like a missile I'm hoamin'
With a word I can dazzle
With a minimum hassle
From the top of my castle,
So fast
Break!
Now your pickin' up the broadcast
And at long last
Cut to the riff-raff,
Right to the Chief of Staff,
El Presidente, o'solomente,
Because the jams
Make you feel,
Explore the realms of the rythym,
Hands are on the wheel.
I'm tough and I'm driven
Like a Maserati or somethin'.
Like a Ninja, got to wind
Your body rhymes,
So hot, they're gonna singe you!

Chorus

Faster than a runaway train,
Quicker than a speeding bullet,
Burnin' hot like a flame,
Don't even try to cool it
Electric third rail packin' a thunder-like voltage
Better tuck your tail and run back underground
Cause that's where you'll end up
If it's me you try to set up
Cause I'm rock rollin' hard
And I'm a rippin' it up like a rattlesnake
I'm shakin' and you can't get enough
Quick like the viper
Bring them down like a sniper
To your microphone shakin' it
This party's an all-nighter
If you think your Superman, then I'm the Kryptonite;
If you think your Lancelot, then I'm the black night.
(I'm sayin' that)
If you think your Superman, then I'm the Kryptonite;
If you think your Lancelot, then I'm the black night.
Sing!

Chorus [twice]

It's also an English word (with a couple of different meanings) and since these guys are from Massachusetts it's hard to say for certain which definition they are referring to.

 
WTF does that mean ? I can speak pretty clearly ,,, at times....

From Entrain's web site: "The most important thing that we try to do with our music is bring everybody together in the spirit of peace, love, fun and a ton of drums!"

"Entrain" kinda fits!

Nice to hear this.  Band is from Martha's Vineyard.  They do a lot of work in schools and programs to introduce kids to percussion and world music.  At some points during shows the entire band just plays percussion.  Great live shows.
This was their most " commercial" song.
 
Cool.
Great song. Please follow it up with XTC's Making Plans for Nigel.

Or not.

Whatever.

Whatever comes next will no doubt be awesome.

Bare Naked Ladies was the first thing that came to mind when this song started.

 

The "Wicked Tinkers" and "The National" group from Nigeria also have some heavy drum music...

This gets my feet moving... Time for some "Management By Walking Around"...

Barenaked Ladies meets post-Lowell George Little Feat. No thanks.
something about the 'superman' line in the lyrics just reminded me of Barenaked Ladies "One Week."

Guessing a mandelbrot is like a fractal/fibonnaci type thing? tres fun-kay. 

 
Some would say Benoit Madelbrot invented fractal geometry, but he would disagree. He died this year.

I had to look. this is fun!

That was cool!
Nice!

Love the blarting, honking trombone. And the funked-up Mandelbrot set on the cover :) (which is probably a bit dated in these days of complexity rather than chaos, but wtf).

One of the great Martha's Vineyard bands

I initially thought this was acceptable, but never ho-hum. After a few moments I realized it was quite likeable!!
does anyone else think that the dude Bill is playing cards with (his son, I think) on the home page looks like Ralph Fiennes?? (a compliment)
Yes, they are doing something right Most excellent
Great driving song. The live version of this takes it up even another notch! It's been played here, too.
