Track 9, Mikey Jukebox- "Mikey Jukebox (Analog Remaster)". “I decided to have the analog version of the record mastered. The result is a more lush, expansive listen.”
"I’m a true disco geek. I have been since the 10th grade. "Saturday Night Fever" really set me off at that age. I used to have disco parties in the halls at school. Freaked people out. I was really into my old Disco records, and Nu-Rave around the time I wrote this. I was really into CSS, and was the moment I knew I wanted to make a solo record."
lyrics
WELL YOU’RE STUCK IN THE CLUB OF THE LONELY HEARTS
WAITING FOR A BREAK IN THE MOOD
AND IT’S TEARS YOU’LL LOSE
EVERY SINGLE TIME
YOU EVEN TRY AND SEE IT THROUGH
YOU NEVER SEEM TO HAVE YOUR DUE
WHEN YOU HEARD THAT CALL TO THE ROCK ‘N ROLL BALL
YOU WERE STANDING ON THE EDGE OF THE ROOF
AND YOU BROKE DOWN AND BOWED,
TO THE HOLY CROWD
OF SPARKS THAT LIT INSIDE OF YOU
BETTER THAN YOU EVER KNEW
WE’VE BEEN WAITING
WE’VE BEEN WAITING
DON’T YOU DARE STALL NOW,
OR THINK TO STOP
OR YOU’LL NEVER, EVER, EVER
HAVE THE GROOVE
WE DON’T STOP UNTIL THE KIDS ARE DANCIN’
THERE’S A DEE JAY IN YOUR SOUL
THAT WANTS TO TAKE CONTROL
AND FIND THE ACTION, REACTION
WHERE THE FLOOR HAS TRACTION
SO MOVE YOUR FEET AND LET’S GLIDE
THERE IS NO NEED TO FEEL SHY
WITH AN AERIAL HEART AND SOUL
BOOGIE ‘TIL YOUR BODY CAN’T TAKE NO MORE
WE’VE BEEN WAITING
WE’VE BEEN WAITING
DON’T YOU DARE STALL NOW,
OR THINK TO STOP
OR YOU’LL NEVER, EVER, EVER
HAVE THE GROOVE
WE DON’T STOP UNTIL THE KIDS ARE DANCIN’
EVERYBODY LOVES THE SATURDAY NIGHT
EVERYBODY WANTS TO PARTY TONIGHT
