V5.5

[Intro]
(The track bursts open with aggressive, rhythmic turntable scratches. Immediately after, a spacey, resonant ARP Odyssey synth lead sweeps in with a vintage melodic hook. A syncopated plucked bassline and tight Linn Drum beat lock into a steady 105BPM pocket. Hand claps punch the backbeat.)
(LEAD) Yeah! Scratch that record!
(GROUP) GET DOWN!
(LEAD) Turn it up, y'all!
[Verse 1]
(THICK LAYERED SILKY NASAL MALE LEAD VOCALS)
Step into the place, see the rhythm in the zone
Everybody's moving, laughing, speaking on the phone
The heavy bottom pocket's got a hold upon your feet
Ain't nobody stopping till the record is complete
(GROUP) DON'T STOP!
[Verse 2]
(THICK LAYERED SILKY NASAL MALE LEAD VOCALS)
The system is thumping, pushing heat into the room
Shaking up the floor with that sonic bass boom
Fellas looking extra sharp, standing in a line
Ladies spinning round, everything is looking fine
(GROUP) SO FINE!
[Pre-Chorus]
(LOW-PITCHED MALE HARMONY)
The temperature is rising, the groove is extra sweet
You can feel that steady syncopation moving your feet
(LEAD) Let me hear you say it!
(GROUP) ROCK ON!
[Chorus]
(LOW-PITCHED MALE HARMONY CHORUS)
WE GONNA KEEP IT REAL FUNKY ALL NIGHT LONG!
(LEAD) DANCE TO THE RHYTHM OF THE SONG!
WE GONNA KEEP IT REAL FUNKY ALL NIGHT LONG!
(LEAD) METROPOLIS SOUND KEEPS US STRONG!
REAL FUNKY!
[Verse 3]
(THICK LAYERED SILKY NASAL MALE LEAD VOCALS)
The DJ is spinning, cutting up the break so clean
Finest party people that you've ever, ever seen
Sliding to the left and then we bounce it to the right
We're gonna keep it heavy until the morning light
(GROUP) BOUNCE NOW!
[Verse 4]
(THICK LAYERED SILKY NASAL MALE LEAD VOCALS)
Music taking over every corner of the block
Check your partner now as we rolling round the clock
No time for relaxation, no time to slow it down
We've got the biggest groove in the whole entire town
(GROUP) BIG SOUND!
[Bridge 1: Long Variety Speech & Call and Response]
(The melodic synths back off, leaving a raw, heavy drum beat, hand claps, and a highly syncopated bassline. The lead and group engage in an extended, highly energetic spoken call and response session.)
(LEAD) If you came to party, let me hear you shout it out!
(GROUP) SHOUT IT OUT!
(LEAD) Tell the whole wide world what this funk is all about!
(GROUP) IT'S THE SOUND!
(LEAD) Are you ready for the breakdown? Give it to me straight!
(GROUP) WE CAN'T WAIT!
(LEAD) Lock it in the pocket, y'all, we never will be late!
(GROUP) TURN IT UP! TURN IT UP!
[Pre-Chorus]
(LOW-PITCHED MALE HARMONY)
The temperature is rising, the groove is extra sweet
You can feel that steady syncopation moving your feet
(LEAD) Sing it out, brothers!
(GROUP) SING IT!
[Chorus]
(LOW-PITCHED MALE HARMONY CHORUS)
WE GONNA KEEP IT REAL FUNKY ALL NIGHT LONG!
(LEAD) DANCE TO THE RHYTHM OF THE SONG!
WE GONNA KEEP IT REAL FUNKY ALL NIGHT LONG!
(LEAD) METROPOLIS SOUND KEEPS US STRONG!
REAL FUNKY!
[Verse 5]
(THICK LAYERED SILKY NASAL MALE LEAD VOCALS)
Watch the rhythm elevate and blend so perfectly
Connecting all the people into perfect harmony
The bassline is driving, such a powerful force
Keeping every dancer on a steady, funky course
(GROUP) ON COURSE!
[Verse 6]
(THICK LAYERED SILKY NASAL MALE LEAD VOCALS)
The night is getting late but the energy is high
Shouting our lyrics right up to the midnight sky
Grab your partner's hand, don't you leave them behind
The ultimate production is what we designed
(GROUP) LET'S GO!
[Bridge 2: Extended Hip-Hop Instrumental Break]
(The track enters a massive, lengthy instrumental section)
[Pre-Chorus]
(LOW-PITCHED MALE HARMONY)
(The rhythm section kicks back in with full force, setting up the massive climax.)
The temperature is rising, the groove is extra sweet
You can feel that steady syncopation moving your feet
(LEAD) Spell it out for the world now!
(GROUP) SPELL IT OUT!
[Spell-Out Section]
(The music stops momentarily on the beats as the lead spells out each word, followed by a high-energy group shout.)
(LEAD) N-E-W-Y-O-R-K!
(GROUP) NEW YORK!
(LEAD) S-U-G-A-R-H-I-L-L!
(GROUP) SUGAR HILL!
(LEAD) B-O-O-G-I-E!
(GROUP) BOOGIE!
[Chorus]
(LOW-PITCHED MALE HARMONY CHORUS)
(Full instrumentation explodes at maximum volume. The ARP Odyssey synth lead flies over the top while turntable scratches interlock with the rhythm guitar.)
WE GONNA KEEP IT REAL FUNKY ALL NIGHT LONG!
(LEAD) EVERYBODY IN THE PLACE, COME ON!
WE GONNA KEEP IT REAL FUNKY ALL NIGHT LONG!
(LEAD) THIS IS THE ULTIMATE METROPOLIS SOUND!
REAL FUNKY!
[Outro]
(The syncopated plucked bassline and Linn Drum carry the groove. The turntable continues to cut and scratch dynamically over the fading beat. The silky nasal lead provides soulful ad-libs while the group chants the hook over spacey ARP Odyssey filter sweeps.)
(LEAD): Just keep it real... keep it right...
(GROUP): REAL FUNKY...
(LEAD): All through the night...
(GROUP): ALL NIGHT LONG...
(Final rhythmic turntable scratch and sharp ARP Odyssey synth pop.)
