THE SINGER

For Retro Punk X Performance

 

 A lot of consideration was done in writing these songs. I had many options and many things that I had to deal with. One was the XXXX word. If I used it in the internet section of the performance then it would be blocked from High Schools with blocking systems (almost all in the US) and High School age students could not read it. Therefore, I decided to continue to use it in the actual performance but omit it from the text. In having to make the consideration I also had to consider the "feelings" of people that belong to formal religion. After much consideration I decided that my personal experience with Christianity shows that it does far more evil than good. Since 1740 there have been at least three preachers in my family line. Also thoughts of the "Insect Colony" kept flashing into my mind. We are evolving toward an Insect Colony and away from an individual in a species. Studies of Ant societies show how much closer civilization is to the ants than to the individual thinking human. Here is a quote from the Arizona State Research Magazine (Internet)  “Ants are great at employing the principle of sacrificing one life for the life of the group. A single ant’s life is not any more important than that of the group. They act collectively as a ‘super organism.’” With a smile, the ASU scientist adds, “Karl Marx was right; he just chose the wrong species.”—Skip Derra"

The key here is that "A single ant's life is not any more important than that of the group."  This could be all well and good but there are real problems. It eliminates the artists. It eliminates the individuals. It eliminates the free thinkers. But most of all it will eliminate the human species. Here is Jack's Law on the terminating of colonizing species, "All colonizing species are unable to adapt to a radically changing environment. All colonizing species will perish. All colonizing species must perish. There will be no exceptions."
If ants follow a line they are generally believed to make only one decision and that is to follow the ant in front of them. Recent research indicates that they are following a chemical trail that was made by the "scout" ant. The chemical trail would be the communication line to the colony. In our case it is the conditioning by the Church and State to make the children follow the line. Churches, Schools and the Media are the chemical trail of the humans. If you take a worker ant out of the line containing the communication line then he will just walk in circles until he dies. Escher illustrated the "follow the ant in front of you" with the mobius strip. Other research indicates that an individual ant will do what the group around him is doing because it is the simplest decision to make. With humans research from the 1950's indicates that we will lie if we are in a group just to go along with the group.

JINGLE JESUS (as of Dec 22, 2006) to the tune of "Jingle Bells"

Jingle Jesus

Jingles Jesus

Jingle all the way

Give my money to the church

Or I'll have hell to pay

Bells on cash registers ring

Making money every day

Give it all to the church or I'll have hell to pay

Jingle Jesus

Jingle Jesus

Jingle all the way

Dashing through WalMart

Past the food and play

Leaving with an empty cart

Or I'll have hell to pay

Jingle Jesus

Jingle Jesus

Jingle all the way

Give my money to the church or I'll have hell to pay

 

 JESUS CAN XXXX US (as of Dec 22 2006)  to the tune of "Jesus Loves Me"

Jesus can XXXX us

Everyone knows

He will burn us

from our head down to our toes

Jesus can XXXX us

Unless we do just what he says

Throw away those rubbers and off to bed

Yes Jesus can XXXX us

Yes Jesus can XXXX us

Yes Jesus can XXXX us for the bible tells us so

You cannot kill

Unless it is the Muslims or the Jews

Nazis, commies or the Whos.

You know the who that Horton heard in Dr. Seuss. (this would be a pause and spoken text)

Yes Jesus can XXXX us

Yes Jesus can XXXX us

Yes Jesus can XXXX us

for the bible tells us so.

 

 

 

PISSED ON ME sung to the tune of My country 'tis of thee (as of December 29, 2006)

My country, pissed on me

Led by Christianity

Land where the Indians died. Killed on every mountain-side,

Let freedom ring.

Our father's God, XXXXXX me,

In the name of liberty,

With pee on me I sing;

Long is our hell of night

Darkening our freedom's light;

We must use our might,

we are, the King!

 FIVE (or the number of Ants the performance set has time for) LITTLE ANTS (subtitle; The Termination of Colonizing Species) sung to the tune of Ten Little Indians. (this would be the last song so it could be made longer or shorter) (as of December 29,2006)

One little, two little, three little, four little, five little Ants

All in a row

Speaking voice (spoken text) "I squished that one"

One little, two little, three little, four little,  Ants

All in a row

Speaking voice (spoken text) "I squished another one"

One little, two little, three little Ants

All in a row

Speaking voice (spoken text) "I squished another. Wow it squirted"

One little, two little Ants

Still in a row

Speaking voice (spoken text) "Another one bites the dust"

One little, one little,just one little Ant

With nowhere to go.
While researching and considering possibilities for a YouTube video of either the Retro Punk X preacher or the Retro Punk X Enticer girls I realized that could change this to not have a direct reference to any religion. I could change them and/or add ones that refer to the Insect Colony.

So here is a possibility:

ANT VERSION OF PISSED ON ME sung to the tune of My country 'tis of thee (as of January 2, 2007)

My country, pissed on me

I am just an ant you see

Land where the Indians died. Killed on every mountain-side,

Let freedom ring.

Our Queen of the colony, keeps leading me,

In the name of liberty,

With pee on me I sing;

Wet is our colonizing night

Darkening our freedom's light;

The ants must use their might,

The ants are, the Kings!

 

 
ONWARD LITTLE ANTS  (as of January 2, 2007)
sung to the tune of Onward Christian Soldiers
Onward, little soldiers, marching as to war, 
with the dollar sign going on before. 
The dollar, the royal Master, leads against the foe; 
forward into battle see green bills go! 
Refrain: 
Onward, little ants, marching as to war, 
with the dollar sign going on before. 

At the sign of the dollar greed guides me; 
on then, little soldiers, on to victory! 
The poor quiver at the shout of praise; 
brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise. 
(Refrain) 

Like a mighty army moves the National Bank; 
brothers, we are treading where the poor have sank. 
We are not divided, all one body we, 
one in hope and doctrine, all for the money. 
(Refrain) 

Crowns and thrones may perish, kingdoms rise and wane, 
but the mighty dollar constant will remain.
Gates of hell will open and the dollar will prevail; 
we have the dollars own promise, and that cannot fail. 
(Refrain) 

Onward then, ye ants, join our happy throng, 
blend with ours your voices in the triumph song. 
Glory, laud, and dollars unto the colony, 
this through the ages men and ants have sung.
(Refrain)

 
The Insect Colony has been a re-occurring theme in my works over the last ten years. I continue to position it in my works because contemporary religious doctrine will not accept Evolution. In doing so they do not see the dangers of our social system. Here are three other works about the Insect Colony.
THE SUPER CODE with references to Jack's Bugs, Jack's Law, and the Bee Dance. INSECT WORLD a collection of short text about the Insect Colony. THE ANT PROPHECIES is a Performance Puppet show about the world after humans.
