Driving big band jazz number. Fun, campy lyric / melody about an outrageous party scene with eclectic characters. Tight big band horns punch out a solid swing backdrop. Fantastic sax and guitar solos. Bit of a novelty air to this one. Gameshow, comedy, slapstick, adventure, mischevious... are some of the moods created. Male Vocal, Jazz Music, Swing / Big Band.

Lyrics: | Monkey just smiled at your mom He seems to think she's the bomb Reverend is drunk in the back Slurring his words talking smack If God was here he'd say "You can thank me later, son" The neighbors are out of control They party like eighteen year olds Boris is down on the floor The twins just ordered two more Man, good things come in twos You can thank me later, son Belt it out in a song Everyone sing along Here's a big "cheers" to good Madam Zhong For keeping the party going strong Monkey went out to get ice He thinks your mom's looking nice Princess just wants to go home But no one leaves here alone It's all for one for all You can thank me later, hon May tomorrow come late The rest of your life will just have to wait One more time for good Madam Zhong For keeping the party going strong Monkey went out for more ice He's fondled your mom now twice Princess got what she deserved She was getting on everyone's nerves And we will have none of that You can thank me later, son |

Somewhere out on New Route 66, about 50 miles west of Sinatra and 75 miles east of Tom Waits, Swanson struts his swingin' and singin'. He loves Dave Frishberg songs and Johnny Walker in a tumbler. He'd like to hear Kurt Elling cover Stone Temple Pilots. Lonnie Johnson is God.
On his latest full-length release "We Can't Party Like We Used To" (2009 Acoustic SwaneeLand), Swanson pounds out 12 original vocal jazz cuts with a cool retro vibe. His bluesy vocals and tasty guitar licks remind of crooners past and present - Sinatra, Cole, John Pizzarelli come to mind - but his clever songwriting has a leaner, edgier feel to it that puts him squarely in the current century.
