Happy New Year!/Song of the moment: "Everything I Do Gohn Be Funky"

Happy New Year!  I wish a bright, blessed, and prosperous 2011, filled with good music and good times, to all of my readers out there.

I've got a few things in store for my blog this year . . . I hope to start contributing some concert and record reviews, as well as some occasional essays, as time allows.  I may even throw in a few surprises here and there.  So stay tuned - the best is yet to come!

I don't know 'bout you, but I've resolved that "everything I do gohn' be funky from now on." Let Lee Dorsey tell you how it's done.

Everything I do gohn' be funky from now on, yeah
Everything I do gohn' be funky from now on, yeah

I got to be myself and do my thing
A little soul can't do no harm, yeah
Everything I do gohn' be funky from now on, yeah

Everything I do gohn' be funky from now on, yeah
Everything I do gohn' be funky from now on, yeah

Some may say that I've got no class
But I'm doin' what I want to do, yeah
So groove with me if you can
Or just do what you can do

Aw, shucks
Why you whining
I'm on fire

Yeah, everything I do gohn' be funky from now on, yeah
Everything I do gohn' be funky from now on

Never before have I felt so good
Just being natural me
My little hangup and my little times
But deep inside I'm free

Let your hair down and get down with me
Who's to say what's right or wrong
Everything I do gohn' be funky from now on, yeah

Everything I do gohn' be funky, yeah, from now on, yeah
Everything I do gohn' be funky from now on
(Repeat and ad-lib until fade)
