Liner Notes

#dance #slack #slackcollab

This song happened after I remarked in slack that @negasi's favorite instrument is the partyparrot emoji. I said if he wrote a song about Party Parrot then I would sing it, and here we are.

Special thanks to @metalfoot @beacon @tcelliott @mikeskliar @catmisgivings and @stephenwordsmith for being the slacker choir (complete with parrot sounds!) yet again

Lyrics

[Intro Spoken] Are you in need of a pick me up? A muscle building shake? A walrus, a hamster, or perhaps an alphabet beginning eye? Well I'm here today to tell you that we have the perfect thing for you! Let your mind expand, Party Parrot People!

[Chorus] We are the party parrot people Bringing life to your screen From now until 3019 We are the party parrot people

[Verse] You're at work, what a boring day The hours drag by to your dismay You hop on Slack for a good time But something is always just missing

You're at home, what a slow day Eight cent grapes, charcuterie tray You hop on Slack for a good time But something is always just missing

[Pre-Chorus] The screen is now shaking It's fast! It's slow Where does the bird go And why is it upside down?

[Chorus] We are the party parrot people Bringing life to your screen From now until 3019 We are the party parrot people

We are the party parrot people Bringing life to your screen From now until 3019 We are the party parrot people

[Verse] You wrote 14 songs today Prolific as heck You want to take a break So it's Slack that you will check

Laughing crying emoji Debates of coffee versus tea Cupcakes running rampant Where is our sanity?

[Pre-Chorus] The screen is now dancing The faces are many Can I pet that bird Is that just absurd?

[Chorus] We are the party parrot people Bringing life to your screen From now until 3019 We are the party parrot people

We are the party parrot people Bringing life to your screen From now until 3019 We are the party parrot people

[Bridge] This is an ode to the motherlode Party Parrot and hamsters love carrots

[Chorus] We are the party parrot people Bringing life to your screen From now until 3019 We are the party parrot people

We are the party parrot people Bringing life to your screen From now until 3019 We are the party parrot people

[Outro Spoken] But I heard him squawk out, 'ere he flew out of sight PARTY PARROT Y'ALL AND TO Y'ALL A GOOD NIGHT

Can't pass up a song with that title. And it doesn't disappoint. Takes me back to the "Pesky Parrot" bar on Utopia of the Seas last summer - lol! Love it y'all!

I cannot deny that this song has a certain energy and swagger. You may have missed your true calling as director of activities on a cruise ship.

Fun and cool lyrics, and the meta-references all slot in very nicely.

Darn! I missed this one! What a surprise, it's bloody awesome! 😀 But how many of those noises are @stephenwordsmith then? Eh?

@beacon 1d

This is so good. Love the beat and great lyrics @negasi! Glad I could contribute a little to this great song.

@mikeb 1d

This is such a fun crazy song! Love all of it, including the reference to FAWM! The phrasing of the choruses is so great, it's like the B52s meet the Bangles meet the Talking Heads!

The party parrot sings like a loon and a sandhill crane lol! This is so fun! Glad I realized who the party parrot was before this song dropped (thought it was Jabba or a slug for so long)
