Song Production Information

TOMOSUKE

Lounge/mondo music that assumes a B-movie from the 1960s. This song contains all sorts of rhythmic elements. It's based on a rhythm called Afro-Cuban, which involves a back bass, tom, and ride cymbal that everyone seems to have a hard time with. Other elements of bossa nova, mods and jungle are also scattered throughout. In French, the vocalist sings the profound expression "What are you thinking about? More about that black kitten!" in a Lolita voice.

Video Production Information

None.
