BULGE PARTY

Tomorrow we have a Bulge Party. Infa will be the deejay tomorrow and he also came with the idea to have a Bulge Party as theme. Normally I post something about the theme and also try to find a song that would fit in theme. That was not an easy job with this theme. But lets have a start and find out what BULGE means.

It seems that people on You Tube know what a bulge is.

Next search was to find a song. There are no songs with bulge in the song title but there are a few with bulge in the lyrics. One is Mr. Jones by the Talking Heads from there album Naked.

Talking Heads were an American new wave and avant-garde band formed in 1975 in New York City and active until 1991. The band comprised David Byrne (lead vocals and guitar), Chris Frantz (drums and backing vocals), Tina Weymouth (bass and backing vocals) and Jerry Harrison (keyboards, guitar, and backing vocals). Auxiliary musicians also regularly made appearances in concert and on the group's albums. The new wave style of Talking Heads combined elements of punk rock, art rock, avant-garde, pop, funk, world music, and Americana. Frontman and songwriter David Byrne (born May 14, 1952 in Dumbarton, Scotland) contributed whimsical, esoteric lyrics to the band's songs, and emphasized their showmanship through various multimedia projects and performances.

David Byrne

Critic Stephen Thomas Erlewine describes Talking Heads as being "one of the most critically acclaimed bands of the '80s, while managing to earn several pop hits." In 2002, the band was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Four of the band's albums appeared on Rolling Stone magazine's 2003 list of the 500 Greatest Albums of All Time, and the Channel 4 100 Greatest Albums poll listed one album (Fear of Music) at number 76. On a 2011 update of Rolling Stone's "100 Greatest Artists of All Time", the band was ranked at No. 100.

Naked (Talking Heads album)

Naked is the eighth and final studio album by Talking Heads, released in 1988. The band dissolved shortly after the album's release, finally announcing their breakup in 1991.

Recording

Wanting to try something different after their use of regional American music and the pop song format on their previous two albums, Little Creatures and True Stories, Talking Heads decided to record their final album in Paris with a group of international musicians. Prior to leaving for France, the band recorded about 40 improvisational tracks that would serve as the foundation for the sessions in Paris.

Once in Paris, the band, along with producer Steve Lillywhite were joined by a number of other musicians in the recording studio where they would rehearse and play for the entire day. At the end of each day, one take was selected as being the ideal version of a particular tune.

In the interest of freedom for the musicians, it was decided that lyrics and melodies would be left until later. The lyrics were not overdubbed until the band returned to New York. Many of David Byrne's lyrics were improvisations sung along with the prerecorded tracks until he found something that he felt worked. In this way, the melodies and lyrics evolved in a similar fashion as the songs themselves.

Talking Heads – Mr. Jones

Mr. Jones

 Put a wiggle in your stride

 Loosen up

 I believe he'll be alright

 Changing clothes

 Now he's got ventilated slacks

 Bouncing off the walls

 Mr. Jones is back!

Bulge out

 And wind your waist

 Tight pants

 Got curly hair

 Drinking cold beer

 From metal cans

 Moonshine

 And Handi-Wipes!

Mr. Jones is back in town

 It's his lucky day

 Hold up your hands and shout

 Jones is on his way

 Pitter pat

 Mr. Jones is back in town

 Aces high

 Now his pants are falling down

He looks so fine

 In those patent leather shoes

 Mr. Jones, you look tired

 I believe you'll be alright

 Sales men

 Conventioneers

 Some rock stars

 With tambourines

 Short skirts

And skinny legs

 Selling bibles

 And real estate

 It's a big day for Mr. Jones

 He is not so square

 Mr. Jones will stick around

 He's everybody's friend

 Fast cars

 And motorbikes

I'm sure glad

 He's on our side

 The Jones Gang

 Down at the bar

 Watch out, this time

 They've gone too far

 They call for Mr. Jones

They put him in charge

 Mr. Jones will help us out

 He's a lucky guy

 It is Mr. Jones' Birthday party

 For another year

 In his hotel room Party favors

 It's a holiday
