The original from 1965 (music and lyrics by Sonny; yes, that Sonny) was a commentary on confusing times, when things were changing by the minute and also staying exactly the same. With lyrics like "Cars keep getting faster all the time / Bums still say Hey Mister, got a dime?" and "Men still keep on marching off to war / Electric-ly they keep their baseball score."
The tune and the beat is so catchy, and the original lyrics so goofy and poetic and serious, I was inspired to do a new twist on it to reflect on our confusing times where up is down and down is up. So I've mashed new lyrics in with some of the original ones. And with a little editing I've mixed my vocal with a Fantastic (!) new version of the song performed by Jeff Goldblum & The Mildred Snitzer Orchestra (yes, that Jeff Goldblum). Please to enjoy.
