One More Take — Queenie's Monday Rehearsal Room Boogie at 112 BPM
The mirror ball gets Saturday. Monday gets the WORK — and today the work has an audience of one very honest camera.
"One More Take" is Queenie's Monday Rehearsal Room Boogie: phone propped on the barre, red light on, the lens as her front row while she marks it at half-fire, slips on the quick switch, watches it back, resets the mark — and runs the section one more time until it lands clean. Practice-video culture made the rehearsal a main event; Queenie made it a groove.
The sound is pure rehearsal-room funk: wah rhythm guitar, a bouncing bassline, brass stabs, handclaps and tambourine pushing a warm 112 BPM diva vocal that chants the hook until your feet mark it too. Discipline has never moved this well.
Press play. Run it again. One more take.
Lyrics
[Intro]
Monday, five, six, mark it neat
Queenie claims the barre-side beat
[Verse 1]
Phone on the barre, red light bright
My front row’s ready for tonight
Mark the hands, place the feet
Check that line, find the beat
[Pre-Chorus]
First at half, now full-out flame
Frame by frame, I call my name
[Chorus]
One more take, we run it till it's clean
One more take, make every angle gleam
Count it, catch it, land it right
My little red eye gets the best seat tonight
[Verse 2]
That quick switch keeps slipping wide
Heel gets late on the turn inside
I watch it back, I know the fix
Reset my mark, then run the six
[Chorus]
One more take, we run it till it's clean
One more take, make every angle gleam
Count it, catch it, land it right
My little red eye gets the best seat tonight
[Bridge]
There—my shoulder, heel and hand align
I see the whole phrase hit on time
No doubt, that’s the one, I know
I give myself the first front-row glow
[Final Chorus]
One more take, we ran it till it's clean
One more take, now hear that room convene
I clap for every pass I made
My toughest crowd, my own parade
[Outro]
Monday marks to a perfect frame
Queenie bows, and signs her name
