Let’s Take A Ride…..LIVE!!!

[Full band slams in, crowd erupts instantly, lead crying and whining through the groove, backgrounds answering every line, horns screaming, drums snapping, everyone in sync, high-energy call-and-response chorus explosion.]

Aye, One Too Many….DROP THAT SHIT!! Let’s GO!

[ENTIRE BAND DROPS IN, LEAD WHINING]

[Crowd: SCREAMING, CLAPPING, BOUNCING ON 2 & 4]

[Lead runs to the edge of the stage, eyes closed, mic gripping, already whining before the words land]

[Lead crying, sliding into the note:]
“Leeeet’s take a riiiide, baaaby…”
[Backgrounds soaring, stacked harmony:]
(ride… ba-by…)

[Lead groove riding, chest open]:
“Windows down, just you and me…”
[Backgrounds call back, swelling:]
(you and me… ooooh…)

[Drummer adds crashes, crowd screams louder]

[Lead: higher register, desperate whine:]
“Leeeet’s take a riiiide, baaaby…”
Backgrounds (pushed, urgent):
(ride… ride…)

[Lead: melting into the pocket:]
“Just embrace our chemistry…”
[Backgrounds rolling the syllables:]
(chem-is-try… yeah…)

[Bass walks up, horns answer, crowd losing it]

[Lead breathy, intimate, crying:]
“Leeeet’s take a riiiide, baaaby…”
Backgrounds (long, floating):
(riiiide…)

[Lead: stretching the phrase, milking it]
“Feel this vibe, get close to me…”
[Backgrounds warm, wrapping:]
(close to me… so close…)

[Band hits a stop, then SLAMS back in harder]

[Lead full chest, gospel whine, roof-raiser:]
“LEEEEET’S TAKE A RIIIIIDE, BAAAAABY!!!”
[Backgrounds power harmony, shaking the room]:
(RIIIIIIDE… BAAAAAABY!!!)

[Lead: resolving, emotional, straight to the soul:]
“I only want you next to me…”
[Backgrounds angelic, holding it]:
(next to me… ooooh…)

[Crowd singing it now, hands up, lights swaying, band riding the groove like a runaway train.]
