I wrote music and lyrics for this. Intentional use of lyric cliches in style of Paul McCartney's (silly) love songs. The word play in the bridge actually came first.
Jeb added a real hook with the ‘hup-banana-na interlude and the slamming ska beat.
I created the canon/round fade out overdubbing four parts played on my Ensoniq 8-bit sample keyboard.
On the album Bowlegged
Lyrics
A1:
Irene, she’s the girl of my dreams
She’s the one I been thinking of
Can you see me Irene
A2:
Irene, cutest thing you’ve ever seen
Hair so long and her eyes so green
Can you see me Irene
B:
Well I’d like to call her but it’s too late
and I don’t want to make Irene irate
So I’ll just see her in my dreams
but I don’t know if I rate with
A3:
Irene, the moon is shining up above
The stars are out and it’s a night for love
Can you see me Irene
(interlude ‘hup-banana-na')
repeat AABA
