[NewMusic] Book Review - Alex Ross = Gannicide

[Michael Henry]

>>Thanks to this thread title, I have David Bowie's "Suffragette City" stuck
>>in my head.  Not complaining, mind you, save for the fact that I'm having
>>trouble coming up with new lyrics to fit the subject.

Hey man, oh leave me alone you know
Hey man, oh Henry, get off the new music list, I gotta
Hey man, I gotta chord to resolve
This mellow thighed chick just made me write parallel fifths

Hey man, my schooldays insane
Hey man, it's Milton Babbitt again
Hey man, he's a total blam-blam
He said he had to squeeze John Adams, but... then he...

(CHORUS)
Oh don't lean on me man, cause you can't afford the ticket
I'm back on Tonalist City
Oh don't lean on me man
Cause you ain't got time to check it
You know my Tonalist City
Is outta sight...and Adorno is right

Hey man, Henry, don't be unkind, go away
Hey man, I can't take it this time, no way
Hey man, John Adams don't crash here
There's only room for one and here he comes, here he comes

CHORUS

Oh spit on me!  

CHORUS

A Tonalist City, a Neo-Tonalist City
I'm back on Tonalist City, I'm back on Tonalist City
Ooo, Neo-tonalist city, ooo, Neo-Tonalist City
Oooh-how, Tonalist City, oooh-how, Tonalist City, oooh-how
Tonalist

Ohhh, Wham Bam Thank You Milton!

A Tonalist City, a Neo-Tonalist City
  Quite all right
A Tonalist City
  Too fine
A Neo-Tonalist City, ooh, a Neo-Tonalist City
Oh, my Tonalist City, oh my Neo-Tonalist City
Oh, Tonalist
Neo-Tonalist!
