Radiation's My New Perfume - A Ghouls Anthem

["Radiation's My New Perfume" Style: Bouncy, Up-Tempo High-Harmony Doo-Wop.] -Intro – [Upbeat, bright electric guitar riff. Snare drum and brush percussion. Barium’s high falsetto enters with a joyful, soaring A-wop-a-doo! followed by Irving’s deep vocal snap.] [Irving's Bass Vocal] (Check the mirror, honey, you look fabulous!) -Verse 1- [Deacon - Energetic, smooth lead] They look at my face and they gasp, "Oh my God!" Say my skin is a canvas where the good life was flawed. The smooth-skins are fading, they worry 'bout age, But I tossed out my calendar, I ripped out the page! I don't need no beauty cream, I don't need no lotion, My eternal existence is a permanent ocean! -Pre-Chorus – [Building pace and excitement] [Lead Vocal] Better save your anti-rads, better save your silly cures, 'Cause the only true fountain of youth is yours! -Chorus- [Full Group Harmony - Joyful, infectious, and bouncy] I don't need a sunscreen, I don't need a tan! My complexion is green, and I'm a permanent man! [Barium's high harmony: 9Ooh-sha-la-la-loo!)] Yeah, Radiation's My New Perfume, the latest designer scent! For every minute they lose, that's a minute that I spent! -Verse 2- [Deacon - Cocky, mocking the "smooth-skins"] You worry 'bout wrinkles, you worry 'bout strife, While I'm just kicking back, celebrating half-life! You got ten good years 'fore you lookin' all gray, I got five hundred seasons, starting right now, today! You call it a curse, but you're terribly wrong, I'm just watching the whole world sing my favorite song! -Pre-Chorus – [Building pace and excitement] [Lead Vocal] Better save your anti-rads, better save your silly cures, 'Cause the only true fountain of youth is yours! -Chorus- [Full Group Harmony - Joyful, infectious, and bouncy] I don't need a sunscreen, I don't need a tan! My complexion is green, and I'm a permanent man! [Barium's high harmony:] (Ooh-sha-la-la-loo!) Yeah, Radiation's My New Perfume, the latest designer scent! For every minute they lose, that's a minute that I spent! -Bridge- [Music shifts, more melodic and dreamy, focuses on Barium’s falsetto] [Barium’s Falsetto] (Ooh-ooh-ooh, the rads don't lie!) [Deacon - Confident, sincere] We're the kings of forever, the survivors supreme, Living outside the lines of the smooth-skin dream. We watched your wars end, watched your cities turn to dust, We found eternal life in the fallout and the rust! [Music crashes back into the fast tempo] -Chorus- [Full Group Harmony - Max energy, explosive celebration] I don't need sunscreen, I don't need a tan! My complexion is green, and I'm a permanent man! [Barium's high harmony: ] (Ooh-sha-la-la-loo!) Yeah, Radiation's My New Perfume, the latest designer scent! For every minute they lose, that's a minute that I spent! -Outro – [Fast, bouncing instrumental fade-out with vocal ad-libs] [Deacon] Smells like victory, baby! [Irving's Bass] (Forever!) [All x2] Doo-wop-a-doo! [Record scratch]
