The phrase "It ain't Puff Daddy. but what ya gonna do?" was something I made up on the spot while I was showing Sirka Louca how I went about creating songs on the Casio CTK-611. This was back in 1998. The phrase stuck with me through the years, so I figured even if it was obscure at this point - (who is Puff Daddy?) I should probably use it. Well, as it turns out, I had this collage experiment sitting on the computer that went nowhere. So I figured since I was re-releasing the "House Music To Dance For" CD again with a higher resolution cover, why not add an extra dance piece? This one I reckoned, would reference some of the other tracks on the CD and it was a perfect vehicle for a catchy hook. Silly as it is. It also gave me a place to use some more of that absurd calamine dialog I made Margret Inthrax recite. The woman just won't go away even though I promised to stop calling her "Jesus".
lyrics
IT AIN'T PUFF DADDY, BUT WHAT YA GONNA DO?
It ain't Puff Daddy, but what ya gonna do?
Chris Pati : House! House! House! House! House! House!
It ain't Puff Daddy but what ya gonna do?
The drazy hoops with all their loops
Are comin' to get-cha
It ain't Puff Daddy but what ya gonna do?
The drazy hoops - those snoopy dupes
They' re comin to town
And I,i,i,i,i,I don't care!
JWL: Come in.
Margret Inthrax : Today I accidentally won the calamine lotion lottery.
Naturally, I was friggin scared. My umbrella was frightened.
The tiny martini martian midget crawling out of my navel was Michelle Shocked.
Here I was sneezing my balls off and thinking really, what should I do with all this calamine?
Where shall I hide it all? And what if the God of all things calamine related begins to make unplanned visits to my therapeutic curtain kissin’ lessons?
JT as Todd Reynolds : The track is clipping! - The track is clipping!
Nick DiMauro : Who have created me? Yeah, that's you and you're in the pump house
Pump house, pump house, c'mon pump house, yeah pump house, now pump house,
Pump house, c'mon, pump house, pump, pump house, yeah pump house, pump house, c'mon
Pump House, c'mon pump that house! Pump house. Pump it all. Pump house...
JT as Todd Reynolds : The track is clipping!
ND : C'mon Pump! Pump the guy next to ya! House!
It ain't Puff Daddy but what ya gonna do?
The drazy hoops with all their loops
Are comin' to get-cha
It ain't Puff Daddy but what ya gonna do?
The drazy hoops - those snoopy dupes
They're comin to town
And I,i,i,i,i,I don't care!
It ain't Puff Daddy but what ya gonna do?
The drazy hoops with all their loops
Are comin' to get-cha
It ain't Puff Daddy but what ya gonna do?
The drazy hoops - those snoopy dupes
They're comin to town
And I,i,i,i,i,I don't care!
Nope!

Margret Inthrax : Naturally. Save me some cloud fluffers in the after life.
Save me the after knife.
The Fire engine clocks splashed with magenta brake fluid in the early morning moon.
The dismal stale mothball supreme toffy nit pick lickers!
The beast of the southern wild....
Tommy Agee.
Lucifer Fabric softener.
A pristine piece of bazooka bubble gum cigar.
One rare unopened "Night of the Iron Sausage" LP.
Honey well transistor ads.

Of course.

Bebebebebebebebeb
And stop calling me.
Stop calling me Jesus!
CP : House!
