Dayton Burr "Bones" Howe (born March 18, 1933) is a Grammy Award-winning record producer and recording engineer associated with 1960s and 1970s hits, mostly of the sunshine pop genre, including most of the hits of the 5th Dimension and the Association, as well as music supervision of several films. He was one of the first industry members to serve as both producer and engineer of the hit records on which he worked. In addition, he was occasionally credited as a musician on recordings under the name "Dayton Howe".
Howe was born in Minneapolis, Minnesota and moved to Sarasota, Florida in 1941. He attended Sarasota High School in 1951, becoming a drummer with a dance band and a jazz quintet. He received a Bachelor's degree in Electronics and Communication in 1956 from Georgia Tech.
While at Georgia Tech he played with many local bands, and after graduation decided to combine his love of music and his Electronics degree, moving to Hollywood to start a career as an audio engineer at Radio Recorders. From 1956 to 1962 he became well known within the industry and helped develop multi-track and multi-microphone techniques for studio recording.
I've been noticing
You peepin' me
Stressin' me
Sweatin' me
Why won't you let it be
Move on
Keep rollin' on
Stop touchin' me
Pullin' me
Squeezin' me
Baby please
Get off of me
Don't play yourself
Find someone else
Back up please
Give me 5 feet
Quit hatin on me
Please don't crowd
You cramp my style
I've gotta make my rounds
Catch you back in a little while
You just met me
And all over me
Don't even know me
Keep comin' to me
Buggin' me
Makin' me wanna leave
Tell me

Stop stressin' me
You see I don't want yo company
Neglectin' my space

Ride out
Catch you on rebound
So bounce, bounce, bounce
Don't me come off rude
Or have an attitude
But the things you do
Defintion of a bug-a-boo
Don't think because
You're flashin' dubs
You're gonna convince my love
To come around
You lose baby
You played yourself
Find someone else
Back up please
Give me 5 feet
Quit hatin' on me
Please don't crowd
You cramp my style
I gotta make my rounds
Catch you back in a little while
You just met me
And all over me
Don't even know me
Keep comin' to me
Buggin' me
Makin' me wanna leave
Tell me
You just met me
Stop stressin' me
You see I don't want yo company
Neglectin' my space
You need to
Ride out
Catch you on rebound
So bounce, bounce, bounce
Bounce

Bounce
