FAWM: "Cake Girl & The Next Sir"

Cake Girl & The Next Sir

2025 by @jamesstaubes

Liner Notes

Spent all day on a heavy collab—needed a reset. Sat down, and this beat came out. Melody? Check. Bass? Check. Lyrics? Pure nonsense, “Glass Onion” style. Somehow, it almost makes sense… but not quite. #pop #weird #psychedelic #80s #electronic #synth

Lyrics

Verse 1

She is the cake girl You are the next sir I am the topper Where mixture is the fare

She’s busy swinging You need convincing I am the sinking Minion in the chair

They’re sometimes funny We’ve gotten bloody I’ll leave here hungry But mints are in the square

They’ll burn the rafters We’ll read the laughter I’ll fly out faster And leave before the scare

Chorus

Press your luck With a palm tree touch There’s a big deal fix With those sexy lips

Rub your coins In the windy noise See those handsome treats Grow out from the seeds

Leave your chase With some tilted praise Every one shall pass Looking through the glass

Throw your love In the orange crush There is a free flow Chilling in the ghost

Verse 2

She is not coming You are too trusting I am the cunning Master of the art

She’s seen your number You’ll be the blunder I’ve heard the thunder Striking at the heart

They’ll sit here quiet We’ll take the brightest I’ll be excited Cuz now the ending starts

They’ve started sleeping We’ve started weaving I’ll say good evening And ramble out to dark

I love the rhymes and the vibe. The keyboard sound and drums are really cool in this too.

Marvellously silly. I'm feeling that chimey synth; that thing that's almost a steel drum but isn't. You were born too late to be huge in the 80s, Jim.

@kvnwoodruff 2025

This has a super fun feel. Definitely hearing the 80’s influence but very poppy (a la say Duran Duran). Nice job!

@sephelie1 2025

So Kim Wilde, love it!

@davidtaro 2025

The synth + bass line is SO good. I'm not sure what you've been smoking, but these are some seriously surreal lyrics. And like you say, they work so well because they are just approaching making sense, which means people can take their own meanings where they find them. Lovely clean production, everything's in its right place, just busy doing its thang. Very cool track!

Unadultered pop and flashback to the eighties. Quite the earworm too ... and it got my shoulders rocking and brought a smile to my face

@stevenwesleyguiles 2025

I love the rhythm of the end lines in the verses. Such a fun/cool idea! Fun groove too! Love that bass break down at the start of the second verse. Nice production trick to keep the second half interesting.

80’s pop fever dream. I love it! Makes me want to wear neon.

The opening lines were like, "Yeah, I get it" and then it gets more and more curious. The lively beat keeps the listener strapped in for the ride with no regrets.
