Bees in the Bathroom!

A B-52s inspired song this week!
... but I also get the slightest bit of a B52 vibe on the vocals and I can't stop smiling lol.
I am very suggestible that way. So, I turned that Essence of Fred up to 11 and took a trip to my own Private Idaho.
It was funny timing - I had already been thinking about the B52's the week before and listening to Rock Lobster repeatedly...this just meant the die was cast. Last thing that had to be made sure of, though - I texted my wife to ask if she wanted to do a B52s style song this week (because no way am I doing B-52s without female vocals), and got a response of "You have to ask?". Yessssss.
So then, why bees?
My wife had a restroom in the building where she works closed due to, well, bees.
That's the Oprah "BEES!" meme in the upper left with the campus mascot taped over her face.
I had the music somewhat set, but still didn't have lyrics. So I asked my wife what it should be about. She said, "BEES!". And then said, "Bees in the bathroom! Sitting there, doing #2, and suddenly a bee is staring at you!" Very rarely does someone have prime goofiness like that just dropped in your lap. Well, probably more often than most in my house, but anyway - it had to be.
She was also rather adamant I give her credit for that line. But of course!

I also collabed with Zone Limits this week and contributed guitar, bass, drums and some BG choir stuff. It's a great synthpop track with a sticky chorus...it's been lodged in my head all week. Go check it out!
