about

Love Bug started its life as a jazzy folk song but didn’t fully metamorphosize until we got into the studio. Jason Batchko kicks it off with a classic burlesque drum intro. The song then drifts into what one can only call stripper chic, with Josh Piet on double bass, me on electric guitar and Jon Williams doubling on electric piano and lead guitar. (His guitar solo will make you…feel things).

Inspired by a Jenny Bienemann haiku (like so many of the songs on the upcoming record), Love Bug was first performed at Haiku Milieu, November 21, 2021.

lyrics

I’m a love bug baby, let me bug you with my love
I’m a love bug baby, let me bug you with my love
My heart it weighs a metric ton
I’m melting like asphalt in the blazing sun
I get so hot I cannot yield
Til I’m crashing into your windshield
I’m a love bug baby, let me bug you with my love

I’m a love bug baby and I’m busting at the seams
I’m a love bug baby and I’m the lover of your dreams
Don’t be afraid I don’t bite
You don’t have to run, don’t have to fight
Just like a moth into the light
I’ll keep you buzzing through the night
I’m a love bug baby, let me bug you with my love

Ooo-weee I’m crawling
Ooo-weee I’m falling
Ooo-weee I’m gonna fly

I’m a love bug baby and I’m spilling over the side
I’m a love bug baby, let me take you on a ride
Cause my place is right here next to you
I’m gonna hug you babe and kiss you too
Til the choir sings get a room
I can’t help myself it’s just what I do
I’m a love bug baby, let me bug you with my love
