“Ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you a bit about what we have in store for you this evening: we have taken care to prepare a special show, and we’re sure that once you’ve heard - like it or not - you’ll never be the same again! You may have noticed some people in the audience have already begun to feel the effects… They’re snappin’ their toes, tappin’ their fingers…their eyes are all glazed over…a little bit of drool runnin’ down their chin… Doesn’t it look like fun?? Well I’ve got some news for you, baby : YOU’RE NEXT !”
First you feel it in the air
Slinkin’ in from everywhere
It’s a psychic fluxillation
Make you wanna shake it like you just don’t care
Then you feel it in your knees
It’s a strobing modulation
Your brain begins to freeze
That’s the funkabopulation
Chorus:
We’re gonna funkabopulate you
We’ll hit you with a proton laser
We’ll go against your better nature
You’re gonna leave your former self behind
We’re gonna funkabopulate your mind
Just wait, just wait, just wait
Just wait ’til it hits your hips
Then you feel it in your fingertips
It starts to climb
Up through your spine
Can’t help but let your backbone slip
Your body is totally consumed
Your sense of space and time has been degraded
You’re floppin’ and you’re bouncin’ ‘round the room
Look baby
Here it comes
You’ve been funkabopulated
Chorus
We’re gonna funkabopulate you
With a proton laser
We’re gonna funkabopulate you
Against your better nature
We’re gonna funkabopulate you
Hey, do you wanna?
We’re gonna funkabopulate you
Are you flora or fauna?
We’re gonna funkabopulate you
With a zircon-encrusted tweezer
We’re gonna funkabopulate you
Cause we aim to please
We’re gonna funkabopulate you
Stick with Big Daddy, baby
We’re gonna funkabopulate you
Here we go!
You’re gonna leave your former self behind
We’re gonna funkabopulate your mind

Teenage Space Invader

You’ve probably seen me around
I’m starting to get the hang of being cool
You’ve probably noticed my smile
Naturally you assume I’m into you
But you’re a fool
Yeah, you’re just like the others
You don’t know what it’s like
It’s not true
That we could never be lovers
But I would have to liquefy your mind
Chorus:
I’m just a teenage space invader
From the Planet 9
I’m just a teenage space invader
From the Planet 9
My folks just don’t understand
All the care about is taking down the human race
I just wanna meet a nice Earth girl
Maybe slightly liquefy her mind
And take her back to my place
It’s not cool
When you’re not like the others
You don’t know what it’s like
I’m no fool
If I tell my sisters and brothers
They will most likely eat me alive
Chorus
I never knew
That we could feel so all alone
Stranded in the galaxy
Light-years away from home
And all those years I spent observing you
Out in orbit up above
Who knew that I would one day learn to love?
Learn to love
It’s not true
That we could never be lovers
Now you know what it’s like
Why won’t you
Be my significant other?
Baby, won’t you let me liquefy your mind?
Chorus

My heart is like a giant monster robot
It's forty stories high
Lasers only make it stronger
And it will blow up Cleveland
Just to win your love
Just to win your love!
My heart is like a radioactive poodle on a rampage
It's impervious to flame
Terrorises little old ladies
And it would chew off its glowing green hind paw
Just to get next to you
Fido, fido! Here, fido ! Good dog.
When you say that you'll be mine
My heart is like a giant porcupine
And when you say I'll see ya later
My heart is like a hungry alligator
I know my lexical incongruities
Are lacking in continuity
But you turned my brain to jelly, baby
When you funkabopulated me!
My heart is like a rabid armadillo
It's foamin’ at the mouth
It's gets grumpy in the mornin’
And it's actuallty a direct descendant of the giant armoured mammalian creatures known as the glyptodonts
When you tell me yes yes yes
My heart is like an egret in distress
And when you tell me no no no
My heart is like an angry Eskimo
I know my lexical incongruities
Are lacking in continuity
But you turned my brain to jelly, baby
When you funkabopulated me!
My heart is like
A Voodoo zombie
With bright green eyes
And a craving for brains
My heart is like (3x)
Heeeeeeee!
I'm just so crazy for your love, baby
You red my mind
You blue my mind
You greeeeeen my mind
You funkabopulated me
My heart is like a giant monster robot

The first time that you saw her
it was all in black and white
She was tapping out the rhythm of a foreign song
She didn't know her own name
She couldn't stand on her own
Without you by her side she was all alone
Chorus:
The way you once were
You won't remember
She make your cold heart
A burning ember
You'll love every minute,
You'll love every minute of it
You’ll love every minute of it
When she laughs you just want to make her laugh some more
You'd do anything to dry her tears when she cries
You will lose years of your life
Falling through the starlit night
Of her eyes
She travels with a zebra
And a black cat
She laughs to the rhythm of a distant drum
She doesn't speak the language
She never says a word
But there are other ways to make your feelings heard
Chorus

Let It Slide

I am not afraid
Of anything this world has made
And that includes you
Baby, that included you
I’ve got style
I’ve got mojo rhythm in my feet
I’ve got class
I’ve got all the moves
Chorus :
After all this time
All I feel inside
All this pain you caused me
I let it slide
All those plans we made
All that lovin’ in the shade
That was just a lie
That was just a lie
They say live and let live
Well that’s the best advice that I can give
‘Cause I’m takin’ what’s mine
Way on down the line
Chorus

Don’t resist
Don’t resist (8x)
Leave your body
Let us take control
We’ll take over
We will overthrow
Don’t you fight it
Let us have your mind
You’ll become a
Slave of Planet 9
Don’t resist
Don’t resist (8x)
There is one thing you must understand
We answer only to the High Command
And to prove to you that we’re legit
We will do with you as we see fit
And as a wise man once said :
Free your mind
And your ass will follow
Don’t resist
