Knock Me Up

"Unmitigated Disaster Week" concludes (a day late, naturally) with this deservedly forgotten gem from August, 2004. A former co-worker once told me that in the UK "knock me up" was slang for asking someone to visit you (just like "ring me up" was slang for asking someone to phone you). I have no idea if this is true, but it sounded like a good chance to exercise some house-oriented double entendres.

As I was doing this song for another KVRAudio contest, it had to be under two minutes long (hence the abrubt fade out). Forcing what should be a seven minute funk jam into around 2 minutes more than anything else, I think, is what hurt this song. Maybe I'll do a longer version sometime.
