about

For the film Mummies In Hertford, I wanted a song to go along with the Mind Bend ear device: a device seemingly just for playing music but which controls minds.
I made a dance routine for the chorus section which you can read in the lyrics section.

lyrics

Do The Sleepwalker

Lyrics and Music and Choreography Copyright Michael Curtis 2015 - All Rights Reserved

Chords for verses and chorus:
A Asus2 alternation
A Asus2 alternation
G quick to C then back to G then to D
A Asus2 alternation

(on chorus use the High A and its press down High D but otherwise the same chords)

Verse 1:

If I ordain it; then
You must change your name!
Make Nigella
Change her name to Jen
Make Nigel; from a
man once known as Juan Jose
Forget your past
Begin a new life at Day 1.

Lead in to chorus and chorus (Note: You can mirror reflect this if you prefer):
When I say, "Jump!" (Dancer jumps)
You say, "How high?" (Dancer raises two arms just above head height with palms facing down)
When I say, "Reach!" (Dancer lowers two arms out at the side- left arm just below chest height then right arm just below chest height - and palms face up)
Reach for the sky! (Dancer points two arms up and points fingers)
When I say, "Do it!" (Dancer points a finger of both hands at shoulder height, elbows bent, like an order)
You don't ask why. (Dancer puts left finger at nose as if to hush someone and other hand on hip)
For I have twisted (Dancer twists leftwards - ideally with both hands on hips)
Twisted your mind! ((Dancer twists rightwards - ideally with both hands on hips))
I bent your mind! (Dancer puts hands to sides of forehead)
And now you're mine! (Dancer points a finger of both hands at shoulder height, elbows bent, like an order)
Do the Sleepwalker!! (Dancer holds out arms and walks on the spot like a lumbering monster)
Do the Sleepwalker!! (Dancer holds out arms and walks on the spot like a lumbering monster)
Do the Sleepwalker!! (Dancer holds out arms and walks on the spot like a lumbering monster)
Do the Sleepwalker!! (Dancer holds out arms and walks on the spot like a lumbering monster)

Verse 2:

I'll tap your mind
I will retune it
Target each
Sociological unit
What you believe
Don't just assume it
I plant new thoughts
Just like planting tulips

Go to Chorus lead in and chorus


Verse 3:

If something queer's
Inserted in your ear
It's just the Mind Bend
Mind interfacing gear
To play you music
At least that's what you think
But you are sick
Your mind's eye's on the blink


Go to Chorus lead in and chorus
