Name: Follow the Bouncing Ball
Duration: P00H02M18S
Description: This started out as just trying to make a college rock/Hüsker Dü-like song around the phrase "Follow the Bouncing Ball". Eventually I had a brainstorm: I made a comic book series about two kids named Drannik & Lizzep who get into a lot of misadventures. If there was a TV show based around these characters, what would the theme song sound like? That's pretty much what this short song is about.

lyrics

Chorus:
Follow the bouncing ball
Come on and sing along
Pogo, mosh, and thrash and bash now
Come and sing this song

Verse 1:
We are a couple kids and we started a band
My best friend Lizzep's got a guitar in her hand
College girl named Mischa plays the drums and owns the space
Drannik, that's me, sings the songs and also plays the bass

Chorus

Verse 2:
We are InterroBang, our music really stinks
The oldest member isn't old enough to drink
All our friends ran towards the hills, they don't want us to play
Freedmont Middle School now wants us all to go away

Bridge:
Jerri Every, Mischa's friend, has come onstage to thrash
With a broken keyboard that she dug up in the trash

Chorus
