I’m not sure when I’m going to have a chance to work on my next batch of songs, so I decided to go ahead and release this one as a single now. I recorded myself playing all the instruments: I used drums, congas, timbales, bass, guitar, two keyboards, trumpet, alto sax, tenor sax, and trombone.

Here it is, “You Wanna Get with Me”:

“You Wanna Get with me”, single, March 2024.

I wrote the first version of this song in 2005. I remember writing the lyrics on the Burlington Transit Plains Road bus from Jackson Square, and it took about five minutes, and I wrote it in pen on a sheet of paper and a clipboard. I remember having the phrase “trying to get with her” on an episode of Dr. Phil. It was about infidelity in that context, but I just ran with the phrase “get with” and wrote some dance-rock lyrics.

Verse 1:

I’m captured by your body
‘Cause there ain’t anybody
Who moves the way I’ve seen you do

So come on closer to me
I’m going to make you want me, too
So give it up, now, give it up, now, baby

Chorus:

Come on, baby, wanna get with me
Ooh, you wanna get with me
Come on, baby, wanna get with me
Ooh, you wanna get with me

Verse 2:

The beat’s intoxicating
Now I’m anticipating
Where we could be when this night’s through

So let your senses take you
And feel the pleasure grow in you
And keep it up, now, keep it up, now, baby

(Chorus)

Bridge:

You’ve got a lot to give me
I know I want you with me
I feel my heartbeat racing
We’re gonna be amazing

Verse 3:

I’ve got the thing you want
I know just what you’re after
Let’s make this dance ours
Proceed a little faster
Don’t think about tomorrow
Just make it last the whole night through
And keep it up, now, keep it up, now, baby

(Chorus)

Here’s one from this morning… It’s the old CBC flute bumper music theme this morning. Makes me nostalgic for the time before I was five years old, when I remember this playing over the sunburst logo on a blue background, for station identification.
