TACAB
*

This song is not in a battle


Yet another Stylish Headphones, Milady song from our first album, War of a Time Unknown

TACAB stands for "Teenage Anti-Communist American Bossa-nova" And I'll have to remind you that our style is very experimental, and everything-especially the singing should be taken with that in mind.

Lyrics:
dancing, doin the waltz-hop
teenage love in a 50's malt shop
Getz and Gilberto take us to the top now
no need to worry about mom 'n' pop

dancing, doin the rhumba
gotta keep count of the numbers
no time to worry about atomic bombs or other bummers now

dance in to the fall out shelter
our teenage love will make the communists swelter
melt the iron curtain like a couple of welders

no me gusta el communista
ella hablo` "estoy lista"
pero yo se` ella no esta lista por hoy

yo vi la guerra
en la luz de su enferma
yo te amo por mi locura

no te gusta los mariacis
porque tu vivas en un hache
yo vivo en un zeta
un alfebeto perfecto
{translation: I don't like the communist
she said she was ready
but i knew she isn't ready for today

I see the war
in the light of your sickness
I love you because of my insanity.

you don't like the mariachis
because you live in a H
I live in a z
a perfect alphabet
}

(for sanitys sake i'll write the english first)
blastin eddie cochran through the phonograph speakers
kuschev and castro wearin cuban missle sneakers
with their greased back hair uelling from the bleachers of the gym

rows of houses like cookie cutters
i can't believe it's not butter
but yes i can believe it's chrome plated

field days and space races
run to catch the bus, Montgomery racists
on their way to drive-in movies

(THESE ARE THE TRUE ENGLISH VOCALS, CHRIS HAS ASSURED ME)

tus ojos son rojos
como sangre de infinto osos
pero los son bellos a nosotros

yo se eres vamiresa
prque mi sangre es en cabeza
pero es muy delicioso

ahora decir adios
tu tenia novios mi corazon esta roto

{your eyes are red
like the blood of infinite bears
but to us that's beautiful

i know you're a vampress
because my blood is in my head
but it's very delicous

now to say good bye
you have boyfriends
my heart is broken
}

just realized that I misquoted. It's actually "the war of a time unknown" and not "groovetastic songs in the key of funk"

Lovely sound, nicely delivered.  Not overly original though!
It reminds me of the "White Horses" theme music to Follyfoot Farm -  which was on the TV back when they used to be powered by steam!
The lyrics are great (again)
The recording is pretty good.
The playing's good (just a little bit "messy" )
I like it

messy playing
Yeah I'll totally agree with the messy playing, I'm the bassist and this was recorded when I just started out so it gets worse as it goes on.  Also there was some stuff that had to be added in because we couldn't get a french horn to fill that gap.

Very interesting! Definately a "Girl From Iponema" feel to it.  I now know that its called a Bossa Nova. Awesome, got to hear some good music and learn something new! Voted!

I think this is pretty good. Whoever sings that first verse should work on his singing.
