On regular occasion I spend my time playing music with my band mates. Many times when we get together we just spend our time jamming. Someone starts playing something like a drum beat, a bass line, a guitar lick, whatever, and everyone just starts playing along. Through this process we eventually turn really strong jams, or grooves as I like to call them, into songs.
Although it didn't start out this way, we soon began realizing that when we create music in this manner, we tend to forget some of the solid grooves when it comes time to get together again. So we decided to start recording these grooves. One of these recent recordings is called Pizza on the Dance Floor.
The song started off with a funk-disco bass line that Bruce, our bass player, had been playing around with. Tim, our keyboardist, didn't manage to join us for the rehearsal, and so Ian, our drummer, spent his time initially working out some beats on Tim's sequencer, then switched to playing his kit. I started to play guitar along with Bruce's bad ass groove, and within a minute or two we had something really cool happening.
The next thing you know I started thinking about how cold it's been outside, and how great it is to stay inside and warm up to a fine lady. That led to thoughts of dancing in a club with some hot ladies, which led to thoughts of love making which then led to thoughts of being hungry,( I'm always hungry after.)
So I started to sing about pizza on the dance floor, which to much of my band mates delight, elicited a rouse of cheering as well as vocal harmonies. From there both Ian and I started to rap about things relating to dance floors, pretty women, and eating pizza, and it just got ridiculous.
But that's the way I like it!
