15 years in the making. The Honky Dance is now a reality! It might look easy but it's not. Although "inspired" by the Humpty Dance by the Digital Underground, I did not want a cover song, which would not have worked with all the honking, which is my favorite part. In 2002, I met a cat named Kareem, who I asked to pen a rap. The result is a "song written by a black man sung by a white dude." The papers (see photos below) sat around with a bunch of my stuff for years. Occasionally, I would try to "honkify" it, but it was not until recently that I could figure out what to do with it. I was suffering from tendinitis in my right hand, so I only played the keyboard with one hand. The result was something I thought I could use, and I next supplied the lovely vocals. I like it. It sounds pretty good. It makes me chuckle, and makes my feet feeling like stomping along. Maybe it will for you too?
