Written in 2012 on the shores of Caspar, CA, then recorded on a dedicated trip to Caspar, CA, to record Taking Over Dancehall on New Years Eve & Day 2012 day at Old School Studios with Calvin Turnbull. This would be the last recording at that great studio in it's classic location overlooking the Puget Sound on the scenic bluff setting just down the road from the world famous Caspar Inn, where we played New Years 2012. Calvin is a great engineer and a total professional to work with, he brought a real sense of magic to the tune and in his art of engineering, capturing, and molding the sound with us for which we are grateful.
Lyrics
TAKING OVER DANCEHALL TONITE
TAKING OVER DANCEHALL TONIGHT, DANCEHALL TONIGHT
AND YOU KNOW WE’RE ROCKIN’ SOLID
TAKING OVER DANCEHALL TONIGHT, DANCEHALL TONIGHT
AND YOU KNOW WE ROCK IT SOLID
I’M READY WILLING AND DONE
CAPTAIN YOGO FOR FUN
TAKE THIS SHIP FOR A SPIN
I WON’T HURT ANYONE
2012 IS OVER
NOW I’M A SPACE AGE SOLDIER
SET MY SIGHTS ON THE COSMOS
WITH MY MOONLIT ROVER
NOW I’M SWIMMING IN STARS
WAY UP ABOVE THE BAR
FESTIVAL OF MY PEOPLE
I THINK YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE
COS WE AIN’T GOT NO BEEF

KEEPIN’ IT SIMPLE AND GREEN
MY BABY SPACE CADETS
FOOLS ON MY LEFT FOOLS ON MY RIGHT
YOU KNOW I’M A FOOL SO I GOTTA GET MINE
COMIN INTO THE DANCEHALL TO GET SWEAT LODGED
IF I DO IT MYSELF NOW THEN I’M MY OWN BOSS
SAY YOU WANNA JUMP IN YEAH WELL THAT’S FINE
THEY ALL WANNA JUMP WHEN THE GIRLS THEY RUN A CONGO
BUT I’M HERE TONIGHT WHETHER YOU’RE HERE OR NOT
I’LL PROBLY DO THE CHICKEN OR THE SPACE ROBOT
RIDICULOUS IS MY MIDDLE NAME
BUT YOU PROBLY KNOW ME BY MY FIRST LAST JORDAN RAIN
YOGOMAN’S AN ALIEN THAT TAKES OVER MY BODY
MAKES ME WILD STALLION DISCO KARATE
ON A MISSION FROM SPACE TO LIBERATE DULL HUMANOIDS
WHEN I’M IN ARCATA CALIFORNIA CALL EM PLAZOIDS
PUT EM ON MY SHIP, MAKE EM DO THE DIP
SHAKE THAT HIP, RATTLE THAT HEAD
UP DOWN TURNAROUND TO THE GROUND BACKSPIN
BODY ROCK TICK TOCK CRAB WALK BOOGALOO
DINK DANK DUNK, SHAKE THAT TRUNK, B-B-B-B BUMP, MASH THAT JUNK,
SHIMMY SHIMMY YA SHIMMY YO SHIMMY YAY
YOUR TEST IS COMPLETE SO YOU MAY BE ON YOUR WAY
EXIT THE YOGOMAN SPACECRAFT
COME AGAIN WHENEVER YOU NEED A MUSICAL KICK IN THE ASS
MY JOB IS DONE, WE’RE HAVING FUN,
YOU WILL SLEEP WELL WHEN WE HIT THE LIGHTS
BECAUSE WE’RE TAKING OVER DANCEHALL TONIGHT!
I CAN TASTE THE SUN AND IT’S A MAGICAL FLAVOR
THIS IS IT I MADE IT TO MY TIME PORTAL IT’S OVER
NO MORE DAYS OF GLOOM, WE’VE GOT TO MUCH TO RESUME
SO WHEN IT HAPPENS JUST STOP. AND REMEMBER
