We now return you to your regularly scheduled pogroming. Now I decided to leave my usual editorial commentary off the postings for Bdelugma to allow them to stand on their own merits, it was interesting to see peoples reactions…. and it will hopefully continue to be interesting as more people stumble across this site.

Stumbling being the operative word, since this weeks song is about moonshine. Specifically the making of moonshine…. although since such activities are illegal in many countries, states and provinces (at least without the proper permits) so don’t get inspired by the lyrics without understanding that there may be consequences.

Those consequences may just be ejection of your stomach contents, or maybe doing something you probably shouldn’t with your cousin. This song was in part inspired by the awful Dukes of Hazzard prequel movie…. it was so bad I had to write this song to cleanse my mind of the odious corruption of that film. A bit more rock than my usual stuff, with a good dose of hillbilly blues. The vocals were one single take, just because I could…. or maybe just to show myself that I could.

Questions, comments and offers to have a drink to my email…. and a very special hello to my newest fans…. it seems quite a few people have discovered my music recently. Remember to tell all your friends about me.

Lyrics:

Verse 1:
Start with the water
Then add plain white sugar
Yeast makes it ferment
Leave it til it is done
Then comes distil time
Heat it to seventy
Degrees celcius
Condense….
Phase shift to water
Need liquid cos we’re

Chorus:
Shining the moon
You’ll be throwing up soon
Shining the moon
Sing this hillbilly tune
Shining the moon
Gonna drink til you swoon
Shining the moon
Breaking the law in our homemade saloon

Verse 2:
Now take the good stuff
Dilute with plain water
Forty percent
Is the target
Now we filter
Thru some activated
Carbon to make
It taste….
Like pure vodka
Shoot it down cos we’re
