Island Of Pogo Pogo
rock, Hyper-fast ’77 NYC punk blast at ~200 BPM. One guitar hard-panned and blown out, down-picked power chords; bass locked to the root, slightly overdriven. Drums full-on sprint with constant eighth-note hats and frantic snare. Male vocals, shredded and snotty; gang “oh” choir on choruses. Brief stops for shout-backs and handclap hits to keep it playful and sarcastic., nursery, punk, simple

Lyrics
Size of a shoe
Everybody pogo
Nothing else to do
Sand in my sneakers
Gum in my hair
I paid for a ticket
To jump in the air
Island of pogo pogo
Up down up down up we go
Brains turned into mashed potato
Welcome to pogo pogo
Mayor is a maniac
Stamp on your toe
Tourist information:
“bounce or go”
Souvenir T-shirt
Sweat and shame
Front says “holiday”
Back says “I’m insane”
Island of pogo pogo
Up down up down up we go
Knees say “please”
Feet say “no”
Stupid on pogo pogo
I try to act cool
Lean on the wall
Wall starts jumping
I still fall
Doctor writes a note:
“terminal bounce”
Charges by the hop
And by the ounce
Island of pogo pogo
Up down up down up we go
Body says stop
Ego says go
Leave me on pogo pogo
