MP3 DayDay MoeMoe - Umburkus Returns
15 MP3 Songs
WORLD: World Fusion, WORLD: World Traditions
Details:
My name is David Michael Moore, I play various instruments.....mainly keyboards, drums, and chainsaw, but also accordian, dog bones, witches
pot, and the wild schizoid zither, a.k.a. boing box or buzzstick.....which is a family of instruments i make and sell, and the instrument which is at the center of the downhome musical vortex called "Umburkus Returns".
Born the last century, December 21, in Memphis, TN.
I live in Rosedale,MS, a small rivertown on the Mississippi River. I''ve been "playing" and composing music several years .
In August of 1977 my brother and I rode from Gunnison, MS to Memphis to get some sax reeds. When we hit the city we were eventually stopped by a policeman
directing traffic in front of Graceland---------he stopped a long line of cars which we were at the head of, diagonal to the gates of Graceland. My brother clicked on the radio and a voice was saying that Elvis was being rushed to the hospital--------------as we were listening to this we could see an ambulance flanked by motorcycle police front and rear coming down the long winding drive of Graceland........they sped through the gates and the King was gone......along with the cop who
was holding traffic. Like a dream.....but real.
Umburkus was someone i used to know in the small leveetown of Gunnison, MS. So was Buster. So was Grocery Sto Feets Girl. Most of the songs are true. No names have been changed to protect anyone. They could care less anyway.
As mentioned, "Umburkus Returns" centers around the Schizoid Zither......a simple hybrid stringed instrument that combines experimental percussion and melody on the same soundboard. It can be plucked like a harp, played with sticks like a santur, set up to bend strings like a koto, or played with a slide and finger picks. It is basically an ornamental soundboard that one can set up and play in different ways.
The music on "Umburkus Returns" was composed thusly: an improvisation was done using any number of various tunings, along with its "found object" percussion.......then other "traditional" instruments were used to flesh out the composition.
Instruments used on this work include: Grand Boing Box, several Buzzsticks, Buzzturtle, Baby Buzzbox, Bike Spokes, Chain and Gearplate, Shaker, Trap Set and other Membraneous Percussion, Accordian, Chinese Medicine Ball, Dog Bones, Various Electric Bass, Organ, and Piano. Night. Birds. Hounds. Voice.
This Mississippi Delta is Birth Home to the Blues and there''s noplace the River hasn''t snaked her hips up against.....you can see it easy from those space shots. "Umburkus Returns"....is an attempt, using rather limited means, to dig into the Red, the Black, Yellow and Gold and anything inbetween, which She keeps nestled close to her everlasting booty.

BUSTER:
HEY BUSTER BUSTER
NOW THE LAST TIME I SAW YOU MAN
YOU WAS WALKING ON THE ROAD AT ROSEHILL
CARRYING YOUR TEETH IN YOUR HAND

GET THE HELL AWAY FROM HERE
CAUSE SHERIFF JOHNNY SAY HE COMING FOR ME
GONNA BOOK ME A TICKET TO HELL
CAUSE I BEEN TALKING TO SOME OF HIS WIMMINS
AND EVERYBODY KNOW THEY''S ANYBODY''S TAIL
HEY BUSTER BUSTER
HIDE YOUR QUART BY THAT OLD COTTONWOOD
YOU CAN FINISH IT OFF WHEN WE
GET BACK FROM WORK

HEY BUSTER BUSTER

CARRYING YOUR TEETH IN YOUR HAND

SHAD: (BLACKHOLE BREAKDOWN)
WELL I WOKE UP THIS MORNING
FEELING AWFUL GLAD
UMBURKUS TOOK THE WAGON
HE DONE GONE TO GET SOME SHAD
GONE TO GET SOME MELON
THREE LOAF OF CRIMSON BREAD
PROBABLY STOPPED BY MAMA TRUTH
TO GET HIS FORTUNE READ
WHEN YOU STEP DOWN IN THIS RIVER
THROW AWAY YOUR NAME
BY THE TIME YOU REACH THE OTHER SIDE
YOU''LL NEVER BE THE SAME
THERE''RE SOME PEOPLE IN THIS VALLEY
WHO''D SELL THEIR MAW AND PAW
FOR A MOMENT''S TITILLATION
LOST IN PIGGISH AWE
I HAVE LOST ALL UNDERSTANDING
TELL ME HOW THIS BE
LIVING WITH YOU BABY
HAS BEEN SUCH MISERY
I WENT TO SEE THE NEEDLEMAN
TO SEE WHAT MIGHT TRANSPIRE
HE TOLD ME THAT MY SPIRIT DOOR
HAD BEEN SET ON FIRE
BAIT YOUR HOOK WITH SWEET MARSHMALLOW
OR FRIED CICADA SHELL
SET YOUR LINE FOR PRETTY DEEP
SCRAPE THE ROOFS OF HELL
YOU DON''T NEED THAT GRINNING MERCHANT
WHO RAFFLES THE BEYOND
LOOK DOWN INTO THE WATER
YOU WANNA SEE THE FACE OF GOD.......
IT''S A SHAD
IT''S SUCH A CLOUD OF UNKNOWING
A CONSTANT SHADOW DANCE
THERE IT IS IN THE AIR
THEN IT''S IN YOUR PANTS
CALL ME WHEN THE NUMBERS
ADD UP TO WHAT YOU WISH
I''M JUST WAITING ON UMBURKUS
HE''S BRINGING HOME SOME FISH......
IT''S SOME SHAD
WOKE UP THIS MORNING
FEELING AWFUL GLAD
UMBURKUS TOOK THE WAGON
HE DONE GONE TO GET SOME SHAD
GONE TO GET SOME MELON
THREE LOAF OF CRIMSON BREAD
PROBABLY STOPPED BY MOTHER TRUTH
TO GET HIS FORTUNE READ.......
BLACK HOLE HERE
BLACK HOLE THERE
BLACK HOLE SEEM TO BE EVERYWHERE....

LITTLE PONY: (A HERACLITUS TUNE)
WAG YOUR TAIL AT THE GATES OF HELL
RIDE YOUR LITTLE PONY
YOU KNOW YOU RIDE HIM WELL
THINGS KEEP THEIR SECRETS
THEY DON''T TELL
THINGS KEEP THEIR SECRETS

THEY DON''T TELL
BEEN THIS WAY SINCE
TIME COULD TELL
THINGS KEEP THEIR SECRETS
THEY DON''T TELL***
WHAT''S LAST IS FIRST
AND FIRST IS LAST
WHAT HAPPENS TOMORROW
GOT IT''S FEET IN THE PAST
WOKE UP THIS MORNING
WITH THE GHOST OF LOVE
ONLY ONE SINGING WAS
THE LONESOME DOVE
STEP IN IT AND IT''S GONE
EVEN THE UNDERTAKERS GONE
STEP IN IT AND IT''S GONE
EVEN THE WITCHDOCTOR''S GONE
THEY''RE GONE
STARS STILL FLAME ACCROSS THE SKY
ONE EYE LAUGH
ONE EYE CRY
I HOPE TO LIVE BEFORE I DIE
THINGS KEEP THEIR SECRETS
DON''T KNOW WHY
STEP IN IT AND IT''S GONE
EVEN DON JUAN IS GONE
STEP IN IT AND IT''S GONE
EVEN MACHIAVELLI''S GONE (I WISH)
THEY''RE GONE
NIGHT BRING DAY
BRING NIGHT BRING DAY
GOT TO GO WITH IT BABY
THERE''S NO OTHER WAY
SWEET CLOUDS HAVE TURNED
INTO GROTESQUE HEADS
ALL OVER EACH OTHER
LIKE NEWLYWEDS
THE SUN''S ALL NEW EVERY DAY
WHAT I THINK ABOUT IT BABY
JUST FLOATED AWAY
I''D GIVE YOU MY HEART
IF YOU TREAT IT WELL
THINGS KEEP THEIR SECRETS
THEY DON''T TELL
STEP IN IT IT''S GONE
EVEN AMADEUS IS GONE
IT''S HERE THEN IT''S GONE
EVEN THE ICE CAPS ARE GONE
THEY''RE GONE

GROCERY STORE FEET GIRL:
SCHOOL DAY PEAS
AND A HONEY BUN
PIGFEET, STAGEPLANK
SOME SOUR GUM
SHE CAN SCHISM IN MY OKRA
MAKE MY VARMENTS RUN
MY LITTLE GROCERY STO FEET GIRL
ANIMAL COOKIE
WITH SOME LIVERCHEESE
DRUNKS BY THE COOLER
GET OUT THE WAY PLEASE
BAG MY HEART WITH THAT SANDWICH
SHE DONE IT WITH EASE
MY LITTLE GROCERY STO FEET GIRL
NEVER KNEW HER MAMA
NEVER KNEW HER PAW
RAISED BY AN UNCLE
DOWN IN ARKANSAS
CROSSED THE RIVER ONE NIGHT
RUNNING FROM THE LAW
MY LITTLE GROCERY STO FEET GIRL
SITTING ON SOME BUCKETS
BEHIND THE STO
KISS BY THE FISHTROUGH
TIL WE COULDN''T TAKE NO MO
SOME THINK SHE''S AN ANGEL
SOME THINK SHE''S A HOE
MY LITTLE GROCERY STO FEET GIRL
SHE SAY PEOPLE GOT NO MONOPOLY
ON A BROKEN HEART
SHE COULD HEAR THE WORLD CRYING
AS IT FALL APART
THEY A SAD SONG COMING
FROM A LONESOME LARK
MY LITTLE GROCERY STO FEET GIRL
HERE COME BLACK JOHNNY
WITH A BLUEJAY IN A CAGE
BLUEJAY SQUAWKING
HE IN A RAGE
JOHNNY GOT THREE LETTERS
FROM GIRLS HALF HIS AGE
NOT MY LITTLE GROCERY STO FEET GIRL
OPEN THE WINDOW HONEY
TURN OFF THE FANS
LISTEN TO THE NIGHT TALKING
AS WE HOLDING HANDS
SHE CLOSE HER EYES
SHE IN OTHER LANDS
MY LITTLE GROCERY STO FEET GIRL
SACKBOY MAD
I HANG AROUND TOO LONG
HE GOT A NASTY SMILE
HE SING A NASTY SONG
INSTEAD OF GOOD MORNING
HE SAY: "GUESS WHO GONE"?

BUTT DELUXE:
I GOT THIS THING
NOW HERE''S THE CRUX
I''M SO HUNG UP DARLING
ON YOUR BUTT DELUXE
I STARE IN SPACE
DOWN THROUGH THESE AGES
IT''S ALL BECAUSE
OF YOUR BACK PAGES
NOW I''M JUST SO SPEECHLESS
WHEN IT COMES TO THIS
GONE UNDER THE POWER
OF SOME JELLO BLISS
YOU MAKE THE HANDS
FALL OFF MY CLOCK
JUST BY THE WAY YOU
ROTATE YOUR STOCK
GO TO WORK CHILD
THIS THING YOU GOT
IT''S LIKE THE MOON
THE DOGS HOWL
THE BIRDS BEGIN TO SWOON
MY MIND IS EMPTY
SO FREE OF FLUX
IT''S BEEN ENLIGHTENED HONEY
BY YOUR BUTT DELUXE
(REPEAT FIRST VERSE)
