Panda Transport

Dear PanTransFans,

We would appreciate and adore you even more if you would consider being pop stars in our upcoming video for the first single “up the disco” from the forthcoming album “monorail” . The concept is that you download, (which we will give you for free!- and! That’s not all you’re gonna get!) the song and play it in the background while you film/webcam yourself either:

• Singing  (lyrics below)
• Playing an instrument (link to chords below)
• Dancing (any way you want!)
• Doing something extraordinary and unique inspired by the song- like putting something up. up. up. your. disco.

Send the video clip to us at:

Thierry, our chef of the A/V department will then create a video collage of all of your submissions (if you would like your name included in the credits, please make sure to provide us with the correct spealling). Then! we’ll send the completed video back to you and you can show all your friends the popstar emerge out of you. Like a PHOENIX.

&&&&&& please understand- this is NOT lip synching- we are really going to be using the audio from the video you send us. that is why it is important that you keep the playing of the song at a low background volume- we want to hear your! rendition of “up the disco”, not ours- we already have that one- we want to feature you! our beloved PTFs- &&&&&&& if you only want to do one section of the song, that’s cool with us.

so, everybody ready for fame and no fortune (not this go round anyway;)- ?

please write to the above email address if you have any questions-

Deadline december 2009

If you do this, in addition to double panda bear hugs, we will send you a copy of the cd as a thank you gift when you provide us with your mailing address.

love and pandamore,

kat & ti

lyric:

Up the disco –by- panda transport

Verse 1

Here! The atmosphere is a full scale replication
Of a standardized map of the imagination
if you set your eyes to the widest aperture
You get a better Dazzle factor, mais oui, for sure

Verse 2

Some seek forever looking for resurrection
I found mine in the hotel ! imagination
Every night ambrosia’s served under the stars
I like mine with a shot of chartreuse and a bit of vonderbar

Chorus

I’d love to trust those who live next to me
But I’d be a fool with my eyes covered snug and wooly
I fear they’re swimming in a gene pool too shallow
Like action figures who like their culture up the disco

Spoken word

Chasing me are light-soaked dreams, blips of restoration

It’s a journey that requires constant careful modification

De-Marked by over-hyped and exposed scary skull and crossbones
But with fuchsia lenses, the world’s dynamite. It’s high tone

chorus 4 times
