[Intro]
\nTwenty-six!
\n(What?)
\nJerk surge!
\n(What was that?)
\nTake a chance…
\n(Here we go!)
\nDance!<\/p>\n

[Verse 1]
\nSomething’s coming through the circuit
\nSomething’s moving way too fast
\nFeel it twitching in the system
\nFeel the future hit the past<\/p>\n

First you think you’ve got it handled
\nThen the signal starts to switch
\nOne little unexpected movement
\nAnd the whole thing makes you twitch
\n(Twitch, twitch, twitch)<\/p>\n

[Pre-Chorus]
\nReady?
\n(Ready!)
\nSteady?
\n(No!)
\nSomething’s coming…
\n(Here we go!)<\/p>\n

[Refrain]
\nGet your 26 fix
\n(Jerk surge)
\nTake a chance
\n(A modern dance)
\nSplurge
\n(26 jerk surge)<\/p>\n

First
\n(You get completely)
\nThen you jerk a knee
\n(Real, real fast)
\nLike whiplash!
\n(Splash!)
\nSplurge
\n(26 jerk surge)<\/p>\n

[Verse 2]
\nOne-two-three and then you stumble
\nFour-five-six and lose the beat
\nSeven-eight and something’s jumping
\nNine-ten underneath your feet<\/p>\n

Eleven-twelve, the rhythm’s shifting
\nThirteen-fourteen, don’t ask why
\nFifteen-sixteen, something’s jerking
\nSeventeen\u2014it’s passing by!<\/p>\n

[Chorus]
\nJerk surge!
\n(Jerk surge!)
\nFeel the jolt!
\n(Feel the jolt!)
\nSomething’s moving
\n(Out of control!)<\/p>\n

Take a chance!
\n(Modern dance!)
\nMove your feet
\n(Advance!)<\/p>\n

Twenty-six!
\n(Why twenty-six?)
\nIn the know!
\n(Let’s go!)<\/p>\n

[Bridge]
\nJah, jah, jah
\n(Jerk surge!)
\nJerk!
\n(Urge!)
\nJerk!
\n(Surge!)<\/p>\n

Left!
\n(Right!)
\nUp!
\n(Down!)<\/p>\n

Fast!
\n(Real fast!)
\nWhiplash!
\n(Splash!)<\/p>\n

Don’t stand still…
\n(Use freewill!)
\nUntil…<\/p>\n

[Break]
\nFirst you get completely…
\n(Out of your mind)
\nThen you jerk a knee!
\n(The funny bone you’ll find)
\nReal, real fast!
\n(Like whiplash!)<\/p>\n

Twenty-six!
\n(That’s the fix!)
\nTwenty-six!
\n(That’s the trick!)
\nJah, jah, jah
\n(Jerk surge!)<\/p>\n

[Instrumental: Extended Dance-Blues Groove \u2014 Distorted Guitar, Organ Stabs, Saxophone, Bass, Drums]<\/p>\n

[Final Chorus]
\nJerk surge!
\n(Jerk surge!)
\nFeel it hit!
\n(Feel it hit!)
\nTake a chance
\n(A modern dance!)
\nDon’t resist!
\n(Don’t resist!)<\/p>\n

Twenty-six!
\n(Get your fix!)
\nSplurge!
\n(26 jerk surge!)<\/p>\n

[Final Refrain]
\nGet your 26 fix
\n(Jerk surge)
\nTake a chance
\n(A modern dance)
\nSplurge
\n(26 jerk surge)
\nJah, jah, jah
\n(Jerk surge!)<\/p>\n

First
\n(You get completely)
\n… hit with reality…<\/p>\n

Then you knee-jerk
\n(Twerk)
\nHit that funny bone
\n(Now take it on home!)
\nFuture to past…
\n(Real, real fast)
\nLike whiplash!
\n(Splash!)
\nSplurge
\n(26 jerk surge)<\/p>\n

Twenty-six!
\n(Jerk surge!)
\nTwenty-six!
\n(Jerk surge!)<\/p>\n

[Outro]
\nBy the year 2 aught twenty-six
\n(We learned the twitch)
\nThe jerk surge
\n(Due to over urge)<\/p>\n

When it jerks…
\n(You move!)<\/p>\n

Feel the splurge…
\n(And groove!)<\/p>\n

Twenty-six…
\n(Jerk surge!)
\nJah, jah, jah
\n(Jerk surge!)
\nJah, jah, jah
\n(Jerk surge!)<\/p>\n

Tonight’s new release “#26 Jerk Surge” is a lil’ dance ditty inspired by tonight’s homework assignment “2022\u20132026 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. <\/p>\n

About the Song <\/p>\n

Climate Jerk Surge: Albedo\u2013Cloud\u2013Ocean Heat Content Triad<\/h3>\n

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.<\/strong><\/p>\n

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.<\/p>\n

The three largest interaction paths form a closely connected Albedo\u2013Cloud\u2013Ocean Heat Content triad:<\/strong><\/p>\n
