24 hours a day i'll give you love

Well kids, it’s that time of year. Spring is upon us again, and you can tell. If you walk outside, you see flowers blooming and all sorts of animals doing it. Humans follow suit: people are getting together, breaking up, or generally trying to find someone to spend a somewhat-special fifteen minutes with.

Today’s musical delicacy comes from the 1979 LP Sting Like a Bee, the only record released by Bumblebee Unlimited. Gregory Carmichael and Patrick Adams, prominent disco producers/songwriters (Universal Robot Band, Inner Life, Phreek) wrote songs from one of the least represented points of view in popular music: insects—specifically, bees and ladybugs. I don’t know much about nature, but I can only hope the dialogue is an accurate interpretation of how insects reproduce.

With high pitch vocals (buzz buzz, moan moan) and a thumping bass line that doesn’t quit, Bumblebee Unlimited should be the soundtrack to your spring, whether or not you can find someone to sting.

Love,
Kim
