Keep It Up 03:19
Sometimes life can be serious but listen when I say We have come here to tell you You've got to have some time to play Working hard is a virtue Got things to do, go on and get em done But feeling good will never hurt you, no Come on, look up at the sky, get a little high, have some fun While we've got the time we've gotta party The time is right so get it started Got to get it going get it going Got to keep it going strong Gonna do it right, do it every night If it feels all right keep going 'til daylight Gotta keep it up, keep it up Keep it up all night long There's no reason to worry Even though it's hard not to feel that way Life is too short to hurry through Got to make the most out of every day That's the message we bring you Consider all the possibilities When you've had time to think it through Well we're sure you'll understand and we're positive that you'll agree If you pay attention To this philosophy There’s no need to mention That you’ve got to get away, seize the day, everyday Come on and do it with me

When the winter breaks And this black-and-white world gives celebration With growing green and blossoming sun We will feel the beat Of a sleeping heart about to awaken Voices rise as one And where the dream comes from Will become our garden Now we ride the wave As the river makes its way to the ocean To join the endless indigo sky Every summer day In a sea of golden rays we'll be floating Voices rise as one And where the stream comes from Will become our garden I've got a song for you No better time for singing Never know what the next minute could be bringing Now the world is new No time left now for sleeping Time to wake up But Never time to stop dreaming

If you want to then you've got to funk it If you want to then you've got to funk it up If you want to then you've got to funk it If you want to then you've got to funk it up This is your life Your time to shine Got to feed the fire in your soul The perfect vibe Comes from inside Let the real you take control Only one choice so raise your voice Fill the air with vibrations, get up, make some noise Whisper or shout Leave no room for doubt Spread the word, tell the world, tell the girls, tell the boys (yes!) Get unconfined you're one of a kind Feel the bass race your pulse, moving up and down your spine Let the music move you Let it flow right through you If you seek the truth you know that's what you're gonna find You are a star In your own sky When you let your inner light show through Never deny Your state of mind To yourself you must be true Time to decide, not to divide Feel a new fascination, don't be satisfied Emancipate Yourself, liberate Yourself, come one come all 'cause we're going worldwide (yes!) Plant the seed, help them that need Feel the sound all around moving at the light speed Let the feeling move you Let it flow right through you If you seek the truth you know it's gonna set you free

He drinks vodka He'll smoke cigarettes if you've got 'em on ya And he carries a case full of wasted days and nights With Valium he tries Sleeping for a while You give that boy two inches and he'll turn 'em into a mile (and then the horns say) He's important Got to be out the door at eight in the morning Then he sleeps on the floor until four in the afternoon With bags under his eyes He offers me a smile You give that boy two inches and he'll turn 'em into a mile (and then the band plays) He don't listen He don't play He just wasted another day He don't listen to us anymore Picks up his case and walks out the door He's got talent Working on his next "platinum album" But he still has to walk 'cause he can't afford bus fare He showed me the receipts The studio keeps them on file You give that boy two inches and he'll turn 'em into a mile Like a rattlesnake Every night he sheds his skin Life is strange He just wants to be let in To the in-crowd Just a DJ Wants to turn it up loud Can you hear what we say Playing tricks with the mix While we lay the sound down Says the chicks want his d*ck Every time he's out of town Wants to show us how to party hard Down at the Ranch Could be a funky superstar If he gave himself a chance, but

It's Alive 03:51
The frequency Is coming through So strap your brain Onto my groove Music is the truth You know it feels right Come on raise the roof Open up your mind It’s alive! Amplified Electric coils Stir your blood Until it boils Come on raise the roof You know it feels right Music is the truth And the double-d-6-9 Is alive! (spoken) Boom shaka-lak boom shaka-lak boom Feel the vibe and the pulse as it’s pumpin through the room In the red with the beat From your head to your feet All shakes no brakes a lightning strike that repeats Makes u move makes u move That’s the impact of the groove Now that u can feel it well there’s nothing left to prove here Let the medicine Take control Breathing life Into your soul Music is the truth You know it feels right Come on raise the roof ‘cuz the double-d-6-9 Is alive!

Day To Day 04:33
Rat race is on the phone They want a contribution Postman is at the door delivering the bills Scraping by, getting high, asking why's Become an institution It's a test of will CHORUS What can I say That you haven't already heard Everyday I just try to improve Got to have faith I believe in me and you Nothing's easy So I take it day to day today Bad news is front page news The teevee-heads are talking Folks stand in line waiting for the verdict to come down Quick fix politics, dirty tricks Nothing new is shocking And the world keeps turning 'round CHORUS

When you woke up this morning Did you open your eyes? Could you feel your heart beating Did you take a minute, just a minute To realize Hey yeah yeah This is your life Come on, you've got to start to think about it sometime Hey yeah yeah This is your life Come on, get up and get off the dime Do you look out the window? Dream of some other place? Only you have the power To take control of your time And your space (That's why I say) Hey yeah yeah This is your life You've got to take it in your own hands (that's right) Hey yeah yeah This is your life Never give up on your plans Do what you love Love what you do It's working for me And I guarantee It'll work for you

We used to sit in the bucket seats of a smooth ride Safe inside on a road that kept on going But time moves on Like wheels rolling And the road will bend before we reach the end Tank was running low but we hit the gas and let it flow What we didn’t know, it just wasn’t worth knowing But now we’re driving blind And the winds are blowing And we might find the end is just around the bend Who’s gonna drive The road less traveled? The path we choose is Ours to decide It’s not easy Shift into gear We’re steering through a new frontier Hands on the wheel (before) It’s all over It’s dark as night, but we can’t deny we saw the signs Outside the lines on a road that kept on going And time moves on Like wheels rolling Hope we don’t find the end up around the bend

about

This is DD69's second release, and we seem to have a thing going: combining rock riffs with tastes of funk, ska, and other genres we like.

The 10 songs on "Wigs" are a little more cohesive than our previous release - and it took about 1/5th of the time to finish the project. Included herein you'll also find a drunkdude-styled cover of Billy Joel's "Somwhere Along the Line". We hope you find something to dig among these tunes.

about

drunkdude69 Cleveland, Ohio

DD69 music has been described as “a rip through a well-stocked jukebox, with smooth funk that would have been at home on a turntable three decades ago mixing with a contemporary guitar-heavy party vibe that could have been recorded two weeks ago.”

The music has drawn comparisons to classic artists like Stevie Wonder and Frank Zappa, as well as contemporary bands like Sublime and 311.
