Untied Snakes

NSFWLiner Notes
They think they're DOGEs, but they're really just a bunch of slimy vipers. Vipers...uh...vipe I guess. đ Dirty funk groove, again drawing from P-funk, Zappa, and Billy Preston for inspiration...

Lyrics
Where did all these sneaky snakes come from Who untied the freakinâ bag Theyâre gettinâ into everything and screwing it up Causing just a hell of a snag
Chaos, shock, and confusion Is all theyâre leaving in their wake I ordered a functioning society for breakfast But got served a freakinâ plate of snakesâŚuffff!
Chorus:
Untied snakes Running amok in the United States Theyâre gonna cock up the whole free world If we canât keep âem containedâŚ
Synth solo
Verse 2:
Tipping the scales in their favor Slitherinâ into the house Constricting protections of freedom Hoping that we wonât find out
Confederacy of obsequious dunces Charlatans and fakes Morbidly wealthy wastrels White supremacist viper snakesâŚhit me band!
Chorus:
Untied snakes Running amok in the United States Theyâre gonna cock up the whole free world If we canât keep âem containedâŚ
And theyâre viping and theyâre viping and theyâre viping and theyâre viping And theyâre viping and theyâre viping and theyâre viping Wretched brood of vipers Viping and theyâre viping and theyâre viping and theyâre viping And theyâre viping and theyâre viping and theyâre viping Stupid brood of vipers
Verse 3:
Saint Patrick wonât you help us Drive the snakes out of our land Galvanize the people into A unified mighty hand
Living in equality and freedom Is worth more than all the gold and Krugerrands Apartheid Clyde and his minions Need to be chucked right out of our popstand! Band!
Chorus Vipe-vamp Solos Vipe-vamp

Didn't read the liners first and was thinking that there's some freaking Zappa vibes here, especially in the chorus! Such an awesome groove with all these mixed influences and NAILED the message. I can tell you had a whole lotta fun making this one - holy cow. Amazing - so good that I will forgive the negative snake message. ;)
I needed this! Rocking song!!! The funk is fantastic. I LOVE, âand theyâre viping, and theyâre viping, and theyâre viping âŚ.â OMG. so good!
That guitar comes out swinging. Great rock vocal. The harmonies in the chorus are delightful and that synth after is so much fun.
Pure fire! I love that my eye read the title as United States as first, those sneaky viping vipers. Can we tie those snakes back up now, please?
Masterfully funky. Love the ufffs. Hilarious. Man, you can play...I know that but I'm reminded every time I listen to one of your songs. You are a musical monster!
What Bill said. This song played live? Wow. Such good lyricism and that backing track. Whoa! Keep them coming! lol
This line made me LOL: But got served a freakinâ plate of snakes. I love the Zappa vibe on the chorus, I hear that, as well as the Pfunk nods - you definitely have that George Clinton energy. That tom groove on the chorus is cool. And then you throw in a little Bernie Worrell synth lead! Hell yeh!
Wow, man! This burns! Damn!
That wah guitar straight off the bat is badass. Catchy tune, love that synth break. Great tune
wow todd! This FUNK_ROCKS! Love the shouts to the Band! The full band sound is soooo great! Love the viping bit. love the variety of justified swearing, fantastic energy, rocking vocals, LOVE IT!!
Ooh funk rock!!! This is dirty, sexy, move your body good. Such an important message beneath this excellent music. This sound is AWESOME. Hello Angel Dust meets Blood Sugar Sex Magik .The viping chorus is damn catchy. I want this on my playlist
Oh man funky opening! Brilliant playing! You hammond dudes are something else! Let alone everything else! This could be on so many greatest hit albums.
Invoking Zappa and Billy Preston is a high bar. And one on which you then TOTALLY deliver. Man, your playing is off the charts!! Getting the Zappa in the chorus, that's awesome. I also love the use of the phrase 'cock up', which you don't hear enough in music I feel. I realise this has a very serious subject at its core (on which you are justifiably righteous in your rage), but I feel like it can also be a whole heap of fun at the same time. The funk is strong here. Well done, sir.
You're one of the few artists whose funk I actually like. I have mixed feelings about chopped guitars, wah sounds and bopping rhythm sections but your stuff is soooo strong, lyrically and in production value, that it's such a blast to listen to it. Especially the synth and organ solos. No idea how you write this. Guess you just have the groove... or don't?
this funk is on fire. i bet dan bonow would go crazy over it. id love to hear it live. but im not complaining, its sounding pretty live to me right now.
Funkin' your heart out with this one.. The venom is flowing in this song and u got that B3 rockin' and a pumping. badass song.
