I Like Wearing Clothes

Mark Bacino - "I Like Wearing Clothes"

After completing my new album, feeling fairly burnt out and feeling as though there was nothing left to squeeze from the creative ether, surprisingly new tunes began to appear.

There must be 5 million songs in the history of pop music that encourage people to take their clothes off. For some reason I thought it was time to write one about keeping them on. See above lo-fi, web-cam jam; lyrics below if you'd like to follow the bouncing Blog and sing along.

Sorry for the substandard audio, apparently my laptop mic came with a sweet, built-in phaser effect. I like to pretend it's 1976, Phil Ramone's producing and after a bottle of red and a few bottles of white we've decided to throw a Small Stone across the whole mix.

Guess I am still crazy after all these years.

Don't go changin',

I Like Wearing Clothes

Ever since I was a little lad,
I hated strippin' down it made me sad
Bath time terrors, watch the teardrops flow
I'm sorry Momma, I like wearing clothes.

Now I'm grown, I'm not that little man
And my baby she just cant understand
Why she's never ever seen my toes
I'm sorry baby, I like wearing clothes

Don't take me for a seaside holiday
Shorts and sandals, ah keep them away
No, skinny-dippins' never in my plans
Cause I only burn, I never tan...

Not comfortable inside my birthday suit
Rather have a jacket and a nice pair of boots
Now I'm no crazy semi-kind of prude
It's just a lifestyle not an attitude

Styles may come and styles may go
Muffin tops and bellies hanging low
Not everybody's body's built for show
I'm sorry people, I like wearing clothes

I'm sorry Momma, I like wearing clothes
I'm sorry baby, I like wearing clothes
