This Is MotorBotox

It's the song Thos E and Foz came up with while Foz was rare-booking it in Hollywood. It began with a few lines of lyrics by Foz, to which Thos added a drumbeat, to which Foz added a bass line, to which Thos added a piano line.

This process was reversed for the bridge, where Thos contributed the lyrics and bass line and Foz added the piano.

We'll try to post the MP3 shortly. But until then, please enjoy the lyrics.

MOTORBOTOX
music & lyrics by Thos E & Foz the Hook
Mona Gload moans
Feels like an old crone
Already cut to the bone

Where's a needle when a girl needs it?
Where's a needle when a girl needs it?
Nothing more that a lady can do
Now that's she's 22

Ride (Mo Motor Bo Bo Motor Botox)
Ride (Mo Motor Bo Bo Motor Botox)
Across the waves
Against the sun
To turn back the tide

She treasures a photograph of herself in a distant land
(She's off in her distant land)
She drinks from a coconut and her toes are in the sand
(Her toes are in the sand)
If she had her way, this is where she'd stay
Back where her caramel skin was always on display

Ride (Mo Motor Bo Bo Motor Botox)
Ride (Mo Motor Bo Bo Motor Botox)
Across the waves
Against the sun
To turn back the tide

Mona Gload moans
Already cut to the bone
Feels like an old crone

Where's a needle when a girl needs it?
(Motor Botox)
Where's a needle when a girl needs it?
(Motor Botox)
Nothing more that a lady can do
(Already cut!)
Now that's she's 22

Do it In the Nude*


This is cross-posted from FozBlog.

Historians and music anthropologists agree that the greatest single session in the history of recording was the 1985 date in Leawood, Kansas that resulted in Bobby and the Chuxx recording Trouble at the Circus, Theme of the Guys From France, and Manhood is a Soup for the Back of a Man's Head album. The new FtH set opener, Keep Your Nose Clean, is also from that magnificent collection.

In honor of that occasion Foz the Hook has prepared Theme of the Guys From France for live performance, and will debut it tonight at Cole's Comedy Open Mic. This is the first time, so far as can be ascertained with available technology, that Theme of the Guys From France has been performed in Chicago, or outside of Leawood, Kansas. The show starts at 9:00, so if you like blogging or going to blogs, join us at Cole's just in time.


*Nine out of ten archeologists agree that this phrase is the only remaining evidence of the song Remember My Gas from the Chuxx debut album, Live at the Graveyard. Nine out of ten ethicists agree that this is a good thing for humankind.
