Touchin' base with the mothership
Touchin' base with the earth...
I feel it, I feel it, I feel it...
This is for all the mothers
This is for the king of the earth
C'mon, c'mon, all the creatures on this Earth
C'mon now, save our spirit world
'cause this is what it takes to D-I-E
I said I feel a groove and I hear it all around
Janet, welcome to the Planet JPJ
Touchin' base with the mothership
Touchin' base with the earth...
Oh yeah, get in your jeans and
Hear them comin' 'round
They're in your pants like ants
and like ants in your pants
Like fire in your pants (whoo!)
Oh Yeah! Come on!
Not the bad, not the good
But sometimes it has to be either way.
Some animals are pretty
Some are ugly
I don't see why they are
But really, they ARE pretty sometimes
They just have to be good
It's about the world
Not just money, world too!
And I'm just gonna get you like this
And don't you see it like this?
Seal it like this?
Like, through the lips like this?
Under the glove
I mean just the real stuff
The stuff that makes you who you really are
Keep your skin and don't be racial
Just remember, it's all about you
And what I'm really trying to do is
Try to save it, try to save it, try to save it, save it, save it (save it!)
And I'm just gonna get you like this
'cause this is how it goes
You can make your own movies
without all the stuff that they put in movies
You can create your own special effects
like using your own stuff
that you have in your own studio, like my brother
Yeah, about those things that fly around, oh yeah
Like them germs...
JPJ truthin'
Scott Warren bass
Alison Jones backing vox
Todd programming, keys, backing vox
This song was originally recorded with Janet on Todd's 2011 album, "Mister Sensitive." Inspired by how well received that song was, Todd decided to make an entire album of Janet's work. He named the collection "The New Technique of Ways of Challenging Greater than Great Changes" after the title of a treatise Janet wrote back in the late 1980s. Todd re-did the whole rhythm section and only kept Janet's truthin' and Scott's bass work from the original. Alison added her vocal purity to the choruses to bring it all home.
