Turtleneck
Contemporary R&B and soul parody. Features a prominent electric bass playing syncopated, melodic lines with a warm, rounded tone. A clean electric guitar provides rhythmic stabs and occasional bluesy fills. The drum kit uses a tight, dry snare and a soft kick, maintaining a steady mid-tempo groove. A soulful male lead vocal performs with extensive melisma, dynamic shifts from chest voice to a breathy falsetto, and layered gospel-style backing harmonies. The arrangement includes subtle electric piano chords and occasional orchestral string swells for dramatic emphasis. Key of E major. Tempo is 88 BPM.

Lyrics
Intro
electric bass enters with melodic fill
clean electric guitar stabs
(Ooh, ooh)
Verse 1
soulful male vocals, chest voice
I'ma lay you down, baby
Take your clothes off
I'll make love to you
In all the ways you want
But one thing I won't do [bass slide]
Is take off my turtleneck
My turtleneck [falsetto]
My turtleneck
My turtleneck [vocal runs]
My turtleneck
Chorus
layered backing harmonies enter
Please stop asking me to take off my turtleneck
Baby, I'm butt-naked from the waist down
Baby, loving you is my favorite habit
Kiss my neck through this fabric
'Cause all I want to do is make love to you
In my turtleneck
In this motherfucking cashmere turtleneck
[vocal ad-libs] (Mmm, the way this turtle)
Gripping my neck, squeezing me, choking me
I'm dripping turtleneck sweat, it's hot
But I'm not taking this T-N-R off
I won't stop until you get off
Outro
dramatic string swells
I'ma lay you down, baby (Baby)
Take your clothes off
I'll make love to you
In all the ways you want
But one thing I won't do
Is take off my turtleneck
My turtleneck
My turtleneck
My turtleneck
music swells then fades
Stop asking, stop asking
Stop asking me to take off my turtleneck
Stop asking, I won't do it, I won't do it
Stop asking me to take off my turtleneck
I won't do it, I won't do it
My turtleneck
My turtleneck
