Funky Grandma (Live at Studio 5)

from The Offtopics Live At Studio 5 by The Offtopics

	/

Compact Disc (CD) + Digital Album
A very cute cardboard sleeve with an adorable design by Rebecca L Stewart inspired by re-imagining the band as pre-loved teddy bears.

These five tracks were recorded live at 3PBS FM's infamous Studio 5 during The Offtopics "Back on the Zine" campaign. The band were invited into the studio by legendary Melbourne Soul DJ Vince Peach and played the following songs:

1. Kiss Me It's For Science
2. Stepping Out
3. A Man Needs Coolin'
4. Funky Grandma
5. Sunrise in Richmond

Because this was all done live at the radio station there are some quirks of performance which we sincerely hope you'll enjoy!

This version of The Offtopics included:
Linc Yow Yeh: Drums and Vocals
Tim Webb: Bass
Mark Bretherton: Keyboard and Vocals
Omid Shayan: Saxophone
Dave Sheehan: Guitar and Vocals
Howard Norsetter: Trumpet
Mark Shannon: Guitar and Vocals
Polash Larsen: Jumping up and down and shouting...

Recorded at PBS 106.7FM Melbourne by Hannah Reaney and Paul Maybury for Studio 5 Live on 14 March 2018

lyrics

FUNK MY GRANDMA
(Words and music: Larsen)

VERSE 1
Bm7 A7 D7 F9 E9
Somebody funked my grandma
Bm7 A7 E9 ( f - e - d - a )
She’s got a platform zimmer frame.
Bm7 A7 D7 F9 E9
Somebody funked my grandma.
Bm7 A7 E9 ( f - e - d - a )
Her boiled fruitcake just ain’t the same.
Bm7 A7 D7 F9 E9
Somebody funked my grandma.
Bm7 A7 E9 ( f - e - d - a )
She’s wearing a raspberry beret.
Bm7 A7 D7 F9 E9
Somebody funked my grandma.
Bm7 A7 E9 ( f - e - d - a )
Might be cocaine in her crème brulee.

CHORUS
D9 a b
Who brought the funk to the party?
D9 E9
Does everybody get a slice?
D9 a b
Who brought the funk to this party?
( f e d f e d a b
Mm-mm! This funk sure is nice!

VERSE 2

Somebody funked the postman
Big lapels on his high vis vest.
Somebody funked the postman.
His moped’s the best.
Somebody funked the sadhu
He dances funk style just for fun.
Somebody funked the sadhu
Even his lingam is on the one. Now listen.

BRIDGE
G F#m Bm D
I don’t need a little dose ‘cos my body makes it inside.
G F#m Bm D
All this funk is welling up. Get ready for the ride.
G F#m Bm D
They couldn’t kill this party even if they tried.
G F#m7 E9
Whoever said it’s bad for you I can tell you that they lied.

INSTRUMENTAL OVER VERSE

VERSE 4
Somebody funked the op-shop
Little old ladies getting down
Somebody funked the op-shop
Funky grandma goes in to town
Somebody funked the op-shop
They got LPs by the JBs
Somebody funked the op-shop
They don’t serve cake – they got rice and peas.

CHORUS
Who brought the funk to the party?
Does everybody get a slice?
Who brought the funk to this party?
The funk gives a kick of spice.
Who brought the funk to the party?

I brought the funk to the party now I’m takin’ it. Goodbye.
