Cherry Poppin’ Daddies - “Lowdown Appreciator“ [Official Music Video]

The Cherry Poppin’ Daddies new single “Lowdown Appreciator“ is available now: Video by Interiorstate - “I wrote “Lowdown Appreciator“ as an exercise in working with stand up, acoustic, slap bass. That is the bass sound most associated with Rockabilly, it’s the sound of Elvis on his Sun session Hillbilly recordings, but a lot of early jazz players also utilized the slapping of the gut strings on the fretboard as a rhythmic element. The lyrics were inspired by my wife, Cherry Perry, and myself and our shared love of vintage shopping. So I imagined us driving around in a Cadillac hearse perusing flea markets and antique shops, while the main character, me, I guess, has this inner monologue showing that he is getting increasingly turned on and heated up by his girl as she snaps her gum and prances around in high heels and Capri pants. The lyrics equate the gut bucket, slap bass sound as a metaphor for his rising subconscious desire for his girl encroaching on his thoughts.“ - Steve Perry Written by Steve Perry / Toilet Brain Music - ASCAP Vocals & Bass: Steve Perry Piano: Andrew Oliver Guitar: Chris Ward Alto Sax: John Nastos Tenor Sax: Willie Matheis Trombone: Chris Shuttleworth Trumpet: Dana Heitman Visit The Cherry Poppin’ Daddies Online: Official Website: Facebook: Twitter: Instagram: Lyrics Come sit by me in my tombstone hearse Gimme heart shaped kisses on the neck Nasty fantasies of you and me With a tripod camera near the bed I want a greaser girl A hot one who lives to dance In black Vampira heels And Capri pants Who likes to kiss in French I want to be your lowdown sexy appreciator I want you for my co-star in a swingbilly bodice ripper I want you for my retro rockabella leather girl Rosie the riveter in victory curls Who likes the pow wow wow ding bass strings Why don’t you kiss me?
