This really should be sampled as part of a hip-hop hit: 'UFO, IFO, everybody FO FO!'. Or how about on deep or progressive house eh? I own all the rights. So no problemo.

lyrics

I sacrificed an alien in the shrine of my computer,
my temple was your body, acting out the Kama Sutra.

We made it bacchanalian and lit a magic spark,
but even when I saw the light, you left me in the dark.

Since I set you free, you're an alien to me.
You wiped out all my memory, you're an alien to me.

UFO, I FO, everybody FO FO.
UFO, I FO, everybody FO FO.

You activated pheromones, released the seratonin,
as I listened to your darker voice and thought about disowning you.
But something in you held me close, as if you'd hypnotized me -
You wanted me to be a ghost of my former self, unwisely...

Since I set you free, you're an alien to me.
You wiped out all my memory, you're an alien to me.

UFO, I FO, everybody FO FO.
UFO, I FO, everybody FO FO.

I sacrificed an alien, did I sacrifice an alien?
I sacrificed an alien, did I sacrifice an alien?

Yeah yeah yeah yeah!

from DanMingo, released January 16, 2021
Produced by Jon Waterhouse and Steve Swindells at Christchurch Studios in Bristol in 2003.

The female backing vocalists (Seven Angels) were all friends of my co-producer, the late, great Jon Waterhouse (RIP) in Bristol and kindly did it for nothing.

That's Jon (Culture Club) Moss on the drums, Winston (Massive Attack) Blissett on bass, Jerry (Hawklords) Richards on rhythm guitar, Kit (Ian Anderson/Curved Air) Morgan on lead guitar and Steve Swindells on keyboards and vocals.

Kit Morgan (I sooo want to work with you again!). Awesome guitarist!
