The seed of this song was the delay guitar riff with the bass line, taken from an loop demo recorded in 2006. The chords and basic structure came to me while rehearsing and performing an early version of this song ("2012") with the B Foundation (surf, rock, reggae group out of LA) in 2008. The lyrics were written later after leaving the B Foundation and moving to Lake Tahoe in reflection of my time with them and other surf rock bands such as Ballyhoo!.
lyrics
TROPICAL SOMETHIN:
I’d like to make a move, any place tropical
Take a cruise, a life more magical
With a pretty girl I’ve known before
To relax in bliss forever
I wanna improve, make the right move
Paradise every night feeling in groove
The lovin’s abundance, beachfront bumpkins
Kissin and snugglin tropical somethin
Ooooh ooh oooh ooh oooooh
I’ll wait for you, true
I’d like to make a move, any place tropical
Take a cruise, a life more magical
With a pretty girl I’ve known before
To relax in bliss forever
I wanna improve, make the right move
Paradise every night, feeling in groove
The lovin’s abundance, beachfront bumpkins
Kissin and snugglin tropical somethin
Ooooh ooh oooh ooh oooooh
Clearwater to Kauai on a 40 ft schooner
My message in a bottle couldn’t reach you any sooner
No worries, no problem, everyting Irie
The isle of Jamaica to Rio Grande
Sippin cadillacs stranded in Bora Bora
Bungalow bed made of aromatic flora
Scuba diving Fiji with the neon reefs
Or paddlin New Zealand with the Maori chiefs
