Ok, I decided to do another CRAZY funk song before I move on to other areas. Don't read too much into the lyrics. It is supposed to just be fun.

Anoint Myself

V1

I don’t need nobody
To tell me who I am
Don’t bow down to nobody
Especially not Uncle Sam
I heard it from the Goddess
I say thank you ma’am
They cancelled me from TikTok
But I just don’t give a damn
I’m gonna anoint myself

CH

Gonna anoint myself
Yeah gonna anoint myself
I don’t need nobody
To tell me who I am
Don’t bow down to nobody
Everybody be running a scam
Gonna anoint myself
Gonna anoint myself

V2

Ain’t nobody worthy
To put the crown on my head
Do it myself like Napoleon
That’s what I said
Ow, gonna tell it on the mountain
With my Brother Al Green
All the dirty little people all around the world
Need to hop in a washing machine oh

CH

So I’m gonna anoint myself
Yeah gonna anoint myself
Get some oil like Mary
Mary Magdalene
Gonna dump it on my head
Start jumping around
Higher than you ever seen
gonna anoint myself

Bridge

Read a Dr. Zeuss
Green Eggs and Ham
And if you don’t like it
I just don’t give a damn

CH

Cause I’m gonna anoint myself
Don’t bow down to nobody
Especially not Uncle Sam
I heard it from the Goddess
I say thank you ma’am
They done cancelled me from TikTok
But I just don’t give a damn

Bridge 2

Ask a Goddess to Dance
Give a Sista a Chance
Ask a Goddess to Dance
Give a Sista a Chance

David,

This is an absolute "funking" explosion of sound and fury... You shook the the trees off of the mountains up here!

Great, great stuff - loved every second of it.

Seriously some fun stuff going on here. Your creativity is always inspiring. (But you should probably have an MRI done smile )

Enjoyed this!

King David,

I hope there they had the cape ready for you at the end of that!!

Excellent. Exponential Energy and Exceptional Enthusiasm. Electric Exhilaration. Expertly Executed. Explosive and Exhausting. Eccentric and Exquisite. Enigmatic and Endearing. Extreme Esophageal Extrusions. Embattled Eloquence.

A great sound! Were the background vocals all RTs? And the horns?

Extremely Enjoyable!!!

Oh, get me that purple cape. Love da funk!! This one made me stand up and toe-and-heel across the floor. Well, I was on carpet so I fell. By the time I got to my feet Soundcloud shifted to Dancing With The Goddess. Next time I click on one of your posts, David, I'm gonna move to the hardwood before pushing Play.

Great raw funking fun I take totally seriously, David ( if you`re banned from TikTok I`m out of there!). You are my kind of Influencer.
I think you inspired Floyd to write a whole other verse btw.

Thanks David, this really raised me higher. Liked the lyrics, funny pseudo gospel. Great groove. Super vocals, the organ, the horns and the gospel voices makes this sound heavenly, I feel anointed. Surely a whole album of these modern funk classics would be needed to complete your mission smile

Great job, had me rolling! BGVs were off the chart. Just jumped out of the washing machine, sparkling clean. What cycle to dry?

David,
You are good at your wild song offerings. Fun tune full of energy. Vocals are ace! Mix / production are ready to go out of the door. Liked it! Hope your neighbors still like you after this one. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.
