Track one from the upcoming release An Awkward Time with The Debutante Hour!
lyrics
I’m going to outer space on Saturday
On Saturday I’ll be in space
I'm not sure! (She's not sure.)
I’m not sure about when I will get back to earth
Ill be sure, I’ll be sure
I’ll be sure to make it back to be your doo wop girl
Doo wop girl, your doo wop girl
I’ll be sure to make it back to be your doo wop girl
To sing Doo wop...
My heart goes mambo jambo in the Congo
In the Congo mambo jambo
Came here to get away, get away
And all I can do is think about you every day
And I’m not sure how long I’ll stay
Heart goes mambo jambo in the Congo and it sounds this way
And you can get at me by telepathy
Telepathy is how you get at me
I’m also taking messages cosmically
And I’ll hit you back astrologically
Astrologically, cosmically
Telepathy is how you get at me...
Well I’m in town and you’re around (She's around and you're in town.)
I’m ready to go, but you’ve changed the show
You don’t need me as your doo-wop lady anymore
Anymore, anymore
You don’t need as your doo-wop lady, any more
To sing Doo Wop...

I saw Mal Blum perform years ago at a show and I felt instantly connected to the songs they wrote. There's something just really comfortable about the stories the songs tell, and it can seem so personal at times that it just feels like your own feelings inserted into the words you couldn't find on your own. sammichbot
This, along with the Every Time.... album, was spinning non-stop in my home a couple of years ago. I still come back to it regularly, and I love it dearly.
Also, Valentine's Day is one of the best burns I've heard. Absolutely epic. newt
