[Intro] (Sophisticated Jazz Piano flourish intertwined with a warm, airy Jazz Flute melody. A funky Clavinet processed with a Mutron envelope filter ripples underneath. Smooth Linn Drum pocket locks into a steady 105BPM, backed by a warm Minimoog bassline and deep OB-Xa synth chord padding.) (LEAD) Yeah... listen to the music play... [Chorus] (LOW FEMALE HARMONY CHORUS WITH MALE LEAD ADLIBS) BAD NEWS, BAD NEWS, DON'T YOU BOTHER ME TODAY! (LEAD) I DON'T WANT TO HEAR A WORD YOU SAY! BAD NEWS, BAD NEWS, GO AND WALK THE OTHER WAY! (LEAD) WE JUST WANT TO DANCE AND BLOW THE BLUES AWAY! DON'T BOTHER ME! [Verse 1] (THICK LAYERED SMOOTH SOULFUL MALE LEAD VOCALS) Take a look into your heart That's the place where we should start Listen to the story that I have to tell We can make this situation turn out well [Verse 2] (THICK LAYERED SMOOTH SOULFUL MALE LEAD VOCALS) You keep on talkin' 'bout the things you heard But I don't believe a single word Just leave your heavy worries outside the door 'Cause we don't wanna listen to that anymore [Instrumental Break 1] (A brief 4-bar break. The Jazz Flute takes a quick, breezy solo over a syncopated Mutron Clavinet rhythm and warm OB-Xa synth swells.) [Verse 3] (THICK LAYERED SMOOTH SOULFUL MALE LEAD VOCALS) People standin' around just passin' the time Tryin' to find a reason or a special rhyme But I turn away from the noise on the street To find a better feeling that is extra sweet [Verse 4] (THICK LAYERED SMOOTH SOULFUL MALE LEAD VOCALS) We're movin' along as the evening grows clear With a beautiful melody that you need to hear So keep all the trouble far away from our sight We're gonna keep it rollin' all through the night [Bridge 1: Refreshing Male Harmony] (The main instrumentation drops to a minimal, breezy groove with smooth hand claps. A refreshing, deep all-male vocal group takes the lead with rich, clean harmonies.) (MALE GROUP) WE ARE WALKIN' TO THE LIGHT... KEEPING EVERYTHING IN SIGHT... (MALE GROUP) MAKING SURE THE GROOVE IS RIGHT... SOULFUL FEELING TAKING FLIGHT... [Chorus] (LOW FEMALE HARMONY CHORUS WITH MALE LEAD ADLIBS) BAD NEWS, BAD NEWS, DON'T YOU BOTHER ME TODAY! (LEAD) I DON'T WANT TO HEAR A WORD YOU SAY! BAD NEWS, BAD NEWS, GO AND WALK THE OTHER WAY! (LEAD) WE JUST WANT TO DANCE AND BLOW THE BLUES AWAY! DON'T BOTHER ME! [Verse 5] (THICK LAYERED SMOOTH SOULFUL MALE LEAD VOCALS) I see the crowd rushing all through the town Always tryin' to bring the good spirit down Just let the heavy rhythm clear your mind And leave the bad elements far behind [Verse 6] (THICK LAYERED SMOOTH SOULFUL MALE LEAD VOCALS) The groove is locked tight and the atmosphere is fine Every single note is flowing perfectly in line We built this production to brighten your day And wash the heavy burdens of the world away [Instrumental Break 2] (Another short 4-bar break. The Minimoog bass performs a smooth, melodic walking run while the Mutron Clavinet locks tightly with the punchy Linn Drum rimshots.) [Bridge 2: Long Alternating Vocal Section] (An extended vocal section where the smooth male lead trades lines back and forth with the low female harmony chorus over a steady, hypnotic OB-Xa synth backdrop.) (LEAD) Tell me why you want to bring me down? (FEMALE CHORUS) WE DON'T WANT NO TROUBLE IN THIS TOWN... (LEAD) I just want to hear the music play! (FEMALE CHORUS) WE ARE GONNA DANCE THE NIGHT AWAY... (LEAD) Keep that talk away from my face! (FEMALE CHORUS) NOTHING BUT LOVE IN THIS PLACE... [Bridge 3: Extended Jazz Funk Instrumental Break] (A lengthy, sophisticated musical showcase. The arrangement opens up as the Jazz Piano takes a complex, fluid solo with beautiful extensions. The Mutron Clavinet responds with gritty, percussive funk patterns. The Jazz Flute returns, fluttering over a bubbling Minimoog bassline and heavy hand claps, perfectly blending jazz sophistication with urban funk.) [Chorus] (LOW FEMALE HARMONY CHORUS WITH MALE LEAD ADLIBS) (The full arrangement hits maximum energy. The OB-Xa synth chords swell gloriously as the piano and flute drive the climax.) BAD NEWS, BAD NEWS, DON'T YOU BOTHER ME TODAY! (LEAD) EVERYBODY IN THE METROPOLIS, COME ON! BAD NEWS, BAD NEWS, GO AND WALK THE OTHER WAY! (LEAD) THIS IS THE ULTIMATE SOULFUL ESCAPE! BAD NEWS! [Outro] (The smooth Linn Drum pocket and warm Minimoog bassline continue. The Jazz Flute and Jazz Piano play gentle improvisations over the fading groove. The smooth male lead provides relaxed ad-libs while the low female chorus gently chants the hook.) (LEAD): Just keep it walking... don't bring me no bad tales... (FEMALE CHORUS): BAD NEWS... GO AWAY... (FEMALE CHORUS): DON'T BOTHER ME... (Final warm OB-Xa synth chord and soft Jazz Flute fade out.)
