MOON A MONDAY - Music Video Lyrics Translation

MOON A MONDAY - Music Video Lyrics Translation
'Click' Title for video

The MOON A MONDAY music video (on Google, You Tube, Face Book) is a composite of five or more blended language intonations of gibberish. Aside from translatable sounds, the song was never meant to be literally understood. The song’s intent was to simulate a “foreign language song of romantic importance” utilizing nonsensical gibberish communicating nothing meaningful. Now with this in mind some words or phrases could communicate intelligible words in multiple broken languages. Even the “Mune a Mondae” subtitle if spelled “Mune a Monde” would equate to “a common world” in French but as deliberately spelled does not.

I wrote the song after reading an article about a music groupie that married into French politics and then recorded an album. The article was clearly hype for the album but went overboard about the importance of the music to my thinking and thus inspired MOON A MONDAY. Robin Cradle, the DJ name is borrowed from a script I’m writing called “DONJI’S DILEMMA.” Maximillion Robere ( I think he’s French, Italian, and Spanish) is an altered ego to express a nonsense aspect of myself. I made him a “Color Coordinated European Cowboy Lost in an American Cornfield,” his “Album” title which doesn’t exist (yet). The video is a fun composite of people I know. The children in it are loved by me but not mine although two of my oldest sons are depicted briefly in the raucous apartment scene. (Chris if you’re reading this-three of my oldest sons. They are building a website: ComicalTOONS.com). The song makes me smile and I hope you enjoyed it too.

Yours truly,
William 'Bill' McPhee
‘Have mind, will travel’

Some littoral translation for what is pronounced, but not necessarily in this order, could be:

My name is William, William William.
Moon a Monday the cat exploded
This song says I owe you, with love
I am sorry
Close the door
You let the farm animals in
The game, it is you

There is more but you get the idea. One more notation; The music is original with most of the chord structure from another song, ”ALL IN THE GAME,” with a different tempo and more on that later. ‘Catch ya in the funny papers.
