Elevator Men
-strangelove

Elevator man
Elevator man
Elevator elevator elevator man
I wanna be your elevator man
Elevator elevator elevator elevator
Elevator elevator elevator elevator
I wanna be your elevator man

We're going up
Elevator man
Elevator man
We're going down
Elevator elevator elevator man
I wanna be your elevator man
We're going up
Elevator elevator elevator elevator
Elevator elevator elevator elevator
We're going down
I wanna be your elevator man

From the ground floor to the penthouse
i'll shuttle back and forth
maybe stopping at a random floor between
And if I plummet to the basement
I can try to slow things down
with some lithium and carbamezepine

Elevator men
Elevator men
We slide open my doors
You come inside
Elevator men
Elevator men
Baby it will be a bumpy ride

We're going up up up up up up up up
Elevator elevator elevator elevator
Elevator man
Elevator elevator elevator man
I wanna be your elevator man
Down down down down down down
Elevator elevator elevator elevator
Elevator elevator elevator elevator
I wanna be your elevator man

Elevator elevator elevator elevator
Elevator elevator elevator elevator
Elevator elevator elevator elevator
Elevator elevator elevator elevator
Elevator elevator elevator elevator
Elevator elevator elevator elevator
Elevator elevator elevator elevator
Elevator man

I wanna be your elevator man

This is very cool and well-done. Nice random instrument sounds all over. I'm torn between the fantastic execution and kitchy feel. The speed changes are awesome. I don't know what an elevator man is in this context.

It starts very abruptly. I know repetition was part of the challenge, but I’d like a little more story. Have to admit it turned out to be a bit of an earworm for me. This could be the Song Fight version of Banana Phone.

I like this up to the slowdown. It's novel the first time, but, gets old after a few seconds and overall the speed up/down gimmick doesn't hold up to repeat listens to me. Also the repetition of "elevator man" starts to drive me crazy after like two minutes, and I can't even get all the way through this on 2nd/3rd listen. This is like one of those things that's a good concept but in execution doesn't really last past the one-time novelty.
