Prefuse 73 - Detchibe
The Big CARNY PARTY is almost upon us. Our tack spitter*, our promo and all the swag* we got lined up should already have your mouth watering in anticipation. Which leads me to believe you troupers* are quivering with excitement.
I’m sure many of you got your various costumes and accoutrements ready for the show. If not, then check out Costumes on Haight, located on 735 Haight St. They are buddies of ours and if you tell them you are coming to a Funky Ones party they will cut a good deal on any last minute costumes.
So get ready boys and girls cause it’s gonna be a straw house*!
*straw house - sold out show
*swag - prizes from carnival games
*Tackspitter - bill poster
*Trouper - seasoned carni veteran
You may be saying to yourself “Graham Masta Flash, Mates of State are not very carny!”, and I would then point out that you are not very carny.
Outkast - The Whole World (feat. Killer Mike)
Cause the whole, world, loves it when you don’t get down
And the whole, world, loves it when you make that sound
And the whole, world, loves it when you’re in the news
And the whole, world, loves it when you sang the blues.
This is a big Carny Party. But nothing like our CARNY PARTY.
Yann Tierson - La Valse des Monstres
The weekend is here and all you clowns should be out enjoying yourselves. I will be on a party bus soon and if you aren’t already, should be getting ready to spend some duckets.
*ducket - money
Everyday is a Carny Party.
Pee Wee's Big Adventure - Danny Elfman
Here’s a track from Pee Wee’s Big Adventure. Basically, anything Danny Elfman makes is circusy anyway, but why not make the track from one of the best movies of 1985!
Mr. Bungle - Stubb (A Dub)
To get all you Larry’s with it we, The Funky Ones, are gonna carny the ballyhoo outta yas. We’re pulling out the bullhooks and calliopes and posting all the circus, carnival, occult, and whatever else we damn well please to get you pumped for the big CARNY PARTY on the 17th.
ballyhoo - a spotlight cue
bullhook -a dull hook used to get an elephant’s attention by it’s trainer
calliope -A musical instrument consisting of steam whistles played like an organ.
Larry - average passerby
with it - A carny, to identify one another, as in “I’m with it”, or “Are you with it”? (With the show)
