about

Hard-charging synth funk to keep you holding on all through your ambulance ride and to provide you with comfort in these trying times of social distancing & medical anxiety. This is a fun but also heartfelt tune about really being there for someone in sickness and in health. Write me down as your emergency contact, we can handle this, babe. I write songs for my wife as Valentine's presents and this is one of them. Features a jazzy solo & fills on a Fender Rhodes and a montage of medical-themed sound effects & samples.

lyrics

[[tachy at 110 bp holding at 100 over eight. he's gonna need blood, get four units on that]]

[Verse 1]
it's a dangerous world out there baby

you got random attackers
you got polluting oil shale frackers
you got brain-injured linebackers
you got democratic election hijackers
you got North Korean hackers
logging into your fitness trackers
you got animal crackers
uncaged and roaming free

you got earthquakes
and rattlesnakes
outbreaks
and yellowcakes
unfair shakes and
grave mistakes
for chrissakes,
here's what it takes

[Chorus 1]
write me down as your emergency contact
we'll get this thing together babe
and we'll break it all down

and if you list me as your emergency contact
we can handle this babe

and in my official duties as your emergency contact
i'll keep it cool baby
just like a miracle on ice

and be sure you have me down as your emergency contact
it's the smart move, baby
take my expert advice

[[still no pulse. clear!]]

[Verse 2]
who knows what they'll throw at us next, baby

it might be psychotic depression
malignant tumor progression
a massive bullshit session
with the medical profession
it could be demonic possession
the next global recession
a rude facial expression
or some other microaggression

it could be gamma rays
a fiery blaze
dark days
with general malaise
power plays
that go sideways
now what i say's

[Chorus 2]
be sure you have me down as your emergency contact
and we can make it happen baby

[[it's not lupus!]]

and if you let me be your emergency contact
we can take on the world babe

and write me down as your emergency contact
we'll do a number on this thing
we'll make it wish it stayed in bed

and if you have me as your emergency contact
we'll go to school on this baby
and we'll come out ahead

[keyboard solo]

and be sure you have me as your emergency contact
you in good hands baby
you can sleep safe and sound tonight

and if you let me be your emergency contact
every little thing
is gonna be alright
