[Intro]
Twenty-six!
(What?)
Jerk surge!
(What was that?)
Take a chance…
(Here we go!)
Dance!
[Verse 1]
Something’s coming through the circuit
Something’s moving way too fast
Feel it twitching in the system
Feel the future hit the past
First you think you’ve got it handled
Then the signal starts to switch
One little unexpected movement
And the whole thing makes you twitch
(Twitch, twitch, twitch)
[Pre-Chorus]
Ready?
(Ready!)
Steady?
(No!)
Something’s coming…
(Here we go!)
[Refrain]
Get your 26 fix
(Jerk surge)
Take a chance
(A modern dance)
Splurge
(26 jerk surge)
First
(You get completely)
Then you jerk a knee
(Real, real fast)
Like whiplash!
(Splash!)
Splurge
(26 jerk surge)
[Verse 2]
One-two-three and then you stumble
Four-five-six and lose the beat
Seven-eight and something’s jumping
Nine-ten underneath your feet
Eleven-twelve, the rhythm’s shifting
Thirteen-fourteen, don’t ask why
Fifteen-sixteen, something’s jerking
Seventeen—it’s passing by!
[Chorus]
Jerk surge!
(Jerk surge!)
Feel the jolt!
(Feel the jolt!)
Something’s moving
(Out of control!)
Take a chance!
(Modern dance!)
Move your feet
(Advance!)
Twenty-six!
(Why twenty-six?)
In the know!
(Let’s go!)
[Bridge]
Jah, jah, jah
(Jerk surge!)
Jerk!
(Urge!)
Jerk!
(Surge!)
Left!
(Right!)
Up!
(Down!)
Fast!
(Real fast!)
Whiplash!
(Splash!)
Don’t stand still…
(Use freewill!)
Until…
[Break]
First you get completely…
(Out of your mind)
Then you jerk a knee!
(The funny bone you’ll find)
Real, real fast!
(Like whiplash!)
Twenty-six!
(That’s the fix!)
Twenty-six!
(That’s the trick!)
Jah, jah, jah
(Jerk surge!)
[Instrumental: Extended Dance-Blues Groove — Distorted Guitar, Organ Stabs, Saxophone, Bass, Drums]
[Final Chorus]
Jerk surge!
(Jerk surge!)
Feel it hit!
(Feel it hit!)
Take a chance
(A modern dance!)
Don’t resist!
(Don’t resist!)
Twenty-six!
(Get your fix!)
Splurge!
(26 jerk surge!)
[Final Refrain]
Get your 26 fix
(Jerk surge)
Take a chance
(A modern dance)
Splurge
(26 jerk surge)
Jah, jah, jah
(Jerk surge!)
First
(You get completely)
… hit with reality…
Then you knee-jerk
(Twerk)
Hit that funny bone
(Now take it on home!)
Future to past…
(Real, real fast)
Like whiplash!
(Splash!)
Splurge
(26 jerk surge)
Twenty-six!
(Jerk surge!)
Twenty-six!
(Jerk surge!)
[Outro]
By the year 2 aught twenty-six
(We learned the twitch)
The jerk surge
(Due to over urge)
When it jerks…
(You move!)
Feel the splurge…
(And groove!)
Twenty-six…
(Jerk surge!)
Jah, jah, jah
(Jerk surge!)
Jah, jah, jah
(Jerk surge!)
[Silence]
Tonight’s new release “#26 Jerk Surge” is a lil’ dance ditty inspired by tonight’s homework assignment “2022–2026 Jerk Surge”. A new dance craze influenced by all the versions of Locomotion, from Little Eva to Grand Funk to Kylie, plus Funk #49 by Joe Walsh. It attempts to explain the climate jerk experienced in 2026 as a cultural experiment experience. Everybody’s doin’ it.
About the Song
Climate Jerk Surge: Albedo–Cloud–Ocean Heat Content Triad
A 2026 study found that the recent change in climate-system dynamics is being expressed not simply as continued warming, but as increasing synchronization among multiple radiative and thermal feedback pathways.
Beginning most notably around 2022, an increasingly interconnected pattern emerges among six major climate-system variables: cloud cover, planetary albedo, sea ice extent, atmospheric water vapor, ocean heat content, and surface temperature.
The three largest interaction paths form a closely connected Albedo–Cloud–Ocean Heat Content triad:
- Planetary Albedo × Ocean Heat Content
- Cloud Cover × Ocean Heat Content
- Planetary Albedo × Cloud Cover
Reduced aerosols + cloud variability + ocean warming + internal climate variability
→ low-cloud changes → planetary albedo decline → increased absorbed solar radiation → increased planetary heat uptake
The significance is not that a single feedback has suddenly appeared. These feedbacks are already well established. The emerging signal is that multiple feedback pathways are becoming increasingly coupled—and that the rate of this coupling is itself accelerating.
That accelerating coupling is the Climate Jerk Surge.
