Uh-Huh Uh-Huh Uh-Huh Uh-Huh…

Duck Duck Goose at Vortex
Original production of Duck, Duck, Goose at the Vortex in October, 2016

I’ve had this dream for the past twenty years to take the song That’s the Way I like It by KC & The Sunshine Band and sample it in the middle of the first measure of the chorus so that the AND of the second beat through the fourth beat is repeated over and over and over again.

So the lyrics would be:

That’s the way, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh, uh-huh…

And so on and so on for the next 10 minutes or so.  With the ability to improvise over the top of all those uh-huhs.

It’s an obviously brilliant creative move that could really change the the world.

Ahem.

I still have yet to do this (maybe a goal for 2018??) but I am happy to report that on February 3rd there will be a terrific piece (stop bragging!) performed at FronteraFest featuring this song and some fantastic dancers who will be doing their best duck and goose impersonations.

I love the fact that I can just write “Start a brilliant dance to That’s the Way I Like it” and then it actually happens.

I’m really excited to see how this one goes over.  Should be interesting.
