Elevator Smile (Live Version)
[suno::GLOBAL_RULE=INSTRUCTION_TEXT_IS_NOT_LYRICS] [suno::GLOBAL_RULE=ONLY_TEXT_INSIDE_LYRICS_BLOCK_IS_VOCALIZED] [suno::GLOBAL_RULE=DO_NOT_SING_PARAMETER_LINES] [suno::GLOBAL_RULE=NEVER_VOCALIZE_SUNO_INSTRUCTIONS] [suno::Create a quirky funky live post-punk / art-funk performance (4:10–4:30), recorded in Amsterdam.] [suno::Continuous genuine audience ambience with laughter, whistles, cheering, irregular clapping and spontaneous reactions. Crowd responds strongly to physical stage humor and repeated vocal cues.] [suno::The live arrangement is noticeably funkier than the studio version. Dry, spacious, playful and rhythm-driven.] [suno::David Beans: thin nasal nervous British male voice. Extremely deadpan, expressionless and conversational. Never sound openly comedic. Humor comes from rigid phrasing and awkward timing.] [suno::David performs a strange expressionless dance, moving only his body sharply left and right. Audience laughter and cheers react naturally while the groove continues.] [suno::Tina Wakeman dominates with a forward syncopated funk bassline. Unlike a fixed ostinato, the bass makes frequent small melodic and rhythmic variations.] [suno::Chris Frank plays dry tight dance drums with closed hi-hat, sharp snare and minimal fills.] [suno::David’s Telecaster plays muted funk strokes. Jimmy Harrison alternates between sparse Farfisa and short clean guitar phrases. Jimmy’s guitar briefly answers Tina’s changing bass phrases.] [suno::Keep bass-guitar exchanges short and rhythmic. No guitar solo, distortion or dense chords.] [suno::Female backing vocal gives brief Going up and Going down responses. Audience gradually takes over the responses.] [suno::Raw live mix with stage bleed, PA coloration, amplifier hum and room reflections.] [suno::SECTION=INTRO] [suno::Crowd remains audible after the previous track. Tina starts a playful bass groove. Chris joins. David adds muted guitar. Jimmy answers selected bass phrases with short guitar notes.] [suno::SECTION=VERSE_1] [suno::David sings almost without expression. Leave small awkward gaps. Audience reacts to his rigid side-to-side movement.] [suno::SECTION=PRE_CHORUS] [suno::Turn Going up and Going down into clear call-and-response. David gives the first cue, female vocal and audience answer.] [suno::SECTION=CHORUS] [suno::Increase funk motion without becoming louder rock. Tina continuously varies the bass.] [suno::SECTION=VERSE_2] [suno::Jimmy’s guitar answers Tina more frequently. David remains completely deadpan.] [suno::SECTION=BRIDGE] [suno::Drop to bass, hi-hat and sparse guitar answers. Expose crowd laughter and clapping. David cues the room physically.] [suno::SECTION=FINAL_CHORUS] [suno::Full groove returns. Audience now confidently answers Going up and Going down. Make the entire venue feel physically synchronized.] [suno::SECTION=OUTRO] [suno::Reduce to bass and drums, then add short guitar responses. David says the final words. Hard stop followed by 6–8 seconds of cheering, laughter and applause. No fade or restart.] #LYRICS_BLOCK_START [Verse 1] Door opens Step inside Seven strangers Side by side Eyes look down Nobody speaks Only numbers Only beeps Mirror walls Mirror eyes Tiny worlds In neat disguise Hello.
