Name: Gemma Gemma
Duration: P00H04M28S
Description: A birthday present for my beau, KB. Since we joke around in German, I chose the phrase 'Glucklich Geburtstag' for the title. In my special sonic alphabet code, that spells G E Bb C D E B C A / G E B Bb F#Ab G# Ab A G. I took some of those letter sequences to make the song. Gemma means 'let's go' in southern German dialects.

lyrics

Ich bin ge-Kurted (I am Kurted)
Langsam in tandem (slowly in tandem)
Gewurzt durch verlockende Worten (spiced by enticing words)

Garten gurtel gibt es vielen viertel (Many neighborhoods within the garden girdle)

Gemma gemma nahmst du alle meine kusse (Let's go, let's go! Take all my kisses)
Gemma gemma unsere Versammlung ist so susse (Let's go, let's go! Our mingling is so sweet)
