The Bank Robbery Groove

by @jeremykazoo

Liner Notes

Was falling down a rabbit hole of watching police interviews. So I thought I'd do something healthier for my brain. I sat down to write a song.

I wanted to explore some of the indignant denials you hear in some of these police interviews. Even as the evidence stacks up, they just deny it and deny they have anything to do with it.

Stray cat strut? The cat came back? Hit the road. Jack? Crabbukkit? Could even be Hitching a Ride. Maybe. But they got a turn, it's mine now.

Lyrics

Don't know what you think you got but you got nothing on me

-Jazzy kazoo-

There's no evidence Nothing to see

-Again, with the kazoo-

There's no prints No DNA

-…Kazoo…-

I'm innocent now go away!

-Frustrated kazoo-

You can make your accusations You have no proof at all I have never taken anything Not even your ball-point-pen

I've got three alibis

-Confident kazoo-

Check the cameras outside and inside

-Cinematic kazoo-

All I have is this pen I came in with

-Literary kazoo-

You're just mixed up because it has your name on it

-indignant kazoo-

Oh come on. You must have 1,000 pens Considering all the interest your bank ranks in I don't know why you're making such a big deal I suppose there's more than just this pen I want to steal

This is a stick up nobody move

-Robber kazoo-

This is the Bank Robbery Groove

-Groove kazoo-

Money and jewels, you'll kindly remove

-Oh no grandma's ring kazoo-

Hand it over, it's the bank Robbery Groove.

Top kazoo action. An unsung hero in the pantheon of musical instruments. Utilised here to its fullest potential. Nice job, really made me smile.

I was bopping to this last night, great flippin title btw! The grandma crying kazoo stab was icing on this beautiful groove. I like how it started as interrogation, and me oh my, the tables turned quickly from pen robbery to shaking down grandma. Aces mate!

I just finished watching the end of Ocean's Eleven, so I had to click on The Bank Robbery Groove. I'm very glad I did. The song is great, as is the performance I love the various descriptions of kazoo playing in the lyrics (my personal favorites are "Literary kazoo" and "Oh no grandma's ring kazoo"). Really well done.
