Start with thrummy onomatopoeia

pulling strings, pianoforte, big bass boom

happy bongos like the Red Rose monkeys

move those legs until you feel those spunkies

tickle to death the man who brings up doom

high hat oligarchomenorrhea

step through that six-step sassy saxo flow

give me some skin, some brass, some thunder roll

flip high flip low flip her round your middle

toe, dosey doh and hey diddle diddle

slide trombone glassy gliss heart burning coal
