Story Behind The Song

With so much of contemporary rock music?s subject matter leaning towards the serious and heavy end of the spectrum, this song was written to bring back the tradition of light-hearted rock and roll music but with a more contemporary flare. Intended for audiences who enjoy life and are looking to dance and have a good time, this song was written and produced to get people moving and grooving. Get Funkafied baby! yeah!!

Song Description

Over-driven guitars, a funky saxophone and a rockin? piano bounce to the exceptional beat of this contemporary rock and roll piece about rhythm and dance. The rhythm and lead guitar patterns, inspired by the likes of Lenny Kravitz, contrast the vocal melodies in the verses to provide an effective accompaniment. The bridge vocals build and release tension while the intricate piano work sustains interest beneath. The second time through, the chorus extends the tension and sets up the unanticipated interlude, which then leads back into the song?s opening melody ending.

Lyrics

Funky Rhythm won?t you take my body
I love the way that you can make me crazy
You lift my soul above you elevate me
I have no choice but to surrender baby

I'm Funkafied
Can't live without it, I've got to have it all the time and I can't deny
How much I want ya, and how I need ya day and night because

Nothing else in this world
Can put a smile on my face and gimmie the shakes as you do
Nothing else in this world
Is like the beat of the drum the way it'll come and groove you

Funky Dancer won?t you groove your body
I love the way that you can move so sexy
Just twist them hips and let me see you shake it
You dance so pretty girl I just can?t take it

Your funkafied
Can't live without it, I've got to have it all the time and I can't deny
How much I want ya, and how I need ya day and night because

Nothing else in this world
Can put a smile on my face and gimmie the shakes as you do
Nothing else in this world
Is like the beat of the drum the way it'll come and groove you
Nothing else in this world
Is like a slamming guitar that?s taking me far from my pain
Nothing else in this world
Compares when all that you feel and everything real is insane

Funkalicious, we're funkalicious honey
So delicious, we're on a mission now
Sometimes even when your crying for reasons you cannot explain
The only hope that you can find is a melody to ease the pain
Sometimes even when we're trying our best to overcome our fears
The only hope that we can find is simply the music that you hear
