FREE SONG + Coming Next Month!

The (nearly) title track of Abney Park's classic album Scallywag is a song called The Scallywag Swing. This song is about a group of musicians, that travel town to town pulling con jobs on their unsuspecting audience.

Next month, (June), we are converting the plot of this song into a radio show! This will be an exclusive (just for you patrons) story of a robin-hood-style group of airship pirate con-artists, who ascend to the floating shanty town of Isla Aether, and con the upper class out of their riches.

Expect a lot of laughs, and adventure.

In the mean time, here is the original song, and lyrics...in case you've forgotten them.

The Scallywag Swing

He ties up their boat,
in the middle of the night,
and they unload their instruments, by lantern light.
The streets are quiet,
and the town is dead,
but that’s okay they got a plan,

inside their heads.

These little towns come alive,
when they do their thing.
nobody forgets...
...the scallywag swing.

...the scallywag swing.

They tromp through the streets,
and find a music hall.
And a sleepy audience,
leaning against the wall.

Then the scallywag troop,
takes the stage.
When they fire up their instruments,
they’ll be the latest rage!

These little towns come alive,
when they do their thing.
 nobody forgets...
...the scallywag swing.
...the scallywag swing.

By the second bar,
the crowd is on their feet,
dancing to the rhythm
of this brand new beat. 

And the charming band leader
gives his tux a tug,
then dives onto the floor,
and now he’s cutting a rug.

Now the slippery band leader
starts to do his thing.
nobody forgets,
the scallywag swing.
...the scallywag swing.

He’ll find a rich woman
nearly twice his age,
pull her to the dance floor
husbands in a rage. 

As he pulls their bodies close,
dancing cheek to cheek,
a pocket picking monkey
round the room will sneak.

Collecting all their cash
like simian king,
nobody forgets....
...the Scallywag Swing!
