Occapella
Soulful Streets: Embrace the Occapella Vibes of The Manhattan Transfer
Lyrics
There's music in the streets
There is a sense of musicality present in the urban environment.
And music in the air
Music is not confined but is also present in the atmosphere.
A little ol' soul beat
Refers to a rhythmic and soulful musical beat.
Dancin everywhere
Expresses the ubiquity of dancing, suggesting a lively and energetic atmosphere.
I would tell the whole world
The desire to share the joy of music with the entire world.
I'd tell 'em if I could
Expressing a willingness to communicate this message to everyone if possible.
To add a little song into each life
Suggesting the idea of integrating music into people's lives.
And make it finger poppin' good
Encouraging the addition of a joyful song to enhance the quality of life.
Whoa, whoa
An exclamation expressing excitement and enthusiasm.
Oh pardon me but you could use it
Suggesting that the listener could benefit from incorporating music into their life.
We're gonna make a little music
An intention to create music, indicating an active role in spreading joy.
You got soul now don't you lose it
Advising the listener to preserve and appreciate their inner musical essence.
We're gonna make a little music
Reiterating the commitment to creating and sharing music.
Everything's gonna be mellow
Expressing a belief that everything will become calm and pleasant.
We would just sing it occapella
Suggesting a preference for singing without instrumental accompaniment (acapella).
Everything's gonna be mellow
Reaffirming the idea of a tranquil and harmonious future through acapella singing.
Listen while we sing it occapella
Encouraging the audience to pay attention while they sing without instruments.
Whoa, whoa
A repetition of the enthusiastic exclamation.
(Vocal breakdown)
Indicating a section where vocals take center stage without instrumental accompaniment.
Repeat from top, fade out at the end
A direction to repeat the song from the beginning, fading out at the end.
