[Intro]
There she goes
(… in the throes…)
Of the music
(Slow and quick)
Polyrhythmic
[Verse 1]
Polymeter
(Playing with time)
Come and greet her
(She’s so sublime)
[Chorus]
There she goes
(… in the throes…)
Of the music
(Slow and quick)
[Bridge]
Polyrhythmic
Turbulent (time signature)
Can’t circumvent (thrown a curve)
[Verse 2]
Hey, honey
(Wanna get polyphony)
’cause it ain’t funny
(Playing for money)
[Chorus]
There she goes
(… in the throes…)
Of the music
(Slow and quick)
[Bridge]
Polyrhythmic
Turbulent (time signature)
Can’t circumvent (thrown a curve)
[Chorus]
There she goes
(… in the throes…)
Of the music
(Slow and quick)
[Outro]
Polyrhythmic
(Oh so slick)
Turbulent (time signature)
Can’t circumvent (thrown a curve)
Beat up the beat
(Oh so sweet)
Shout:
(Kick it out!)
ABOUT THE SONG
A complex song can be called different things depending on the type of complexity, such as a polyphony for multiple independent melodies, a contrapuntal piece for intricate and interwoven lines, or a fugue for a specific structure. Other terms include polyrhythm or polymeter for rhythmic complexity, or a piece with complex harmonies or changing time signatures, like those found in Balkan music.
Rhythmically complex: This could involve techniques like polyrhythm (two or more conflicting rhythms at once), polymeter (different meters in different parts), or odd time signatures, as seen in some Balkan music.
