Tupperware Party (At the End of the World)

[Sample: cocktail party chatter, tupperware seal pop] [Spoken sample - amazed pitchman] It burps! It seals! It survives! [Instrumental - dusty mambo record chopped into a breakbeat, horn stabs from an old easy-listening LP, upright bass loop, vinyl crackle] [Verse 1 - chopped 1950s female vocal, playful] Martha's in the kitchen with a smile so wide Forty cans of peaches and a place to hide The girls are coming over for the end of days Bring your own container, honey, plastic saves [Pre-chorus - stacked vocal chops, swelling strings] Seal it up (seal it up), keep it fresh (keep it fresh) When the whole world's over we'll outlast the rest [Chorus - sunny layered sample-collage hook, tambourine, big breakbeat] Tupperware party at the end of the world Every little lady, every boy and girl The lid goes POP, the drums go BOOM The freshest little bunker in the living room Tupperware party — pass it around The crispest crudités forty feet underground [Spoken sample - hostess whisper] Listen... the lid goes... pop! [Instrumental - collage breakdown: chopped hostess voice looped as rhythm, seal pops as percussion, mambo horns stuttering] [Verse 2] Deviled eggs for doomsday, gelatin delight Everything in pastel, sealed up airtight The bomb can huff, the bomb can puff But it can't get into Martha's stuff [Chorus - bigger, denser collage, strings swirling] Tupperware party at the end of the world Every little lady, every boy and girl The lid goes POP, the drums go BOOM The freshest little bunker in the living room Tupperware party — pass it around The crispest crudités forty feet underground [Outro - spoken hostess over dusty fading loop and party chatter] Girls! Girls! The secret to surviving the end of the world... is proper! food! storage!
