a challenge song,thanx Jody! http://soundclick.com/share.cfm?id=13068434Hey Bartender [ugly woman blues] I was sittin' on a stool,drinkin' slow and lookin' cool Waitin' around for closin' time Had my eye on a little filly,half drunk and so pretty I thought that i would make her mine But i never saw it comin',she brought along a big wingwoman Who had her bloodshot eye on me I thought hell not this again,shot down by an ugly friend Why can't the uglies leave me be I said now,hey bartender,one more round I'm not drunk enough for her company Hey bartender,you know that i'm bound To take this ugly girl home with me I said now,hey bartender,keep 'em comin' fast Don't stop till i'm seein' double Hey bartender,my friends are gonna laugh But this ugly girl is gonna ease my trouble Well i thought i'd be polite,get her quick out of the light Grab us a table in the dark And the more that she talked,the more whiskey i bought I tried my best to take to heart I heard 'em holler last call,one more round of alcohol By now i'm strong enough to score So we waited to be last,then we made a staggerin' dash Arm in arm outside the door [chorus]

Hey Michael, Pure fun. Loved the lyric. I am sure you didn't remember anything the next morning. Music was great too. Nice vibe, though the ending seemed a bit abrupt. Nice work. Dave

Good lyric...I wonder how this would work with a slower honky tonk sound (mid tempo) to fit the drunken story...

Hey Mike, As a woman I feel a smidge disloyal giving you kudos on this one , BUT I thought the lyric was clever, Wondered if you could slip in somewhere mention of the quintessential "beer goggles"? Maybe some under the breath outro.... "in the morning, as I headed for the door I stumbled on my beer goggles, lying on the floor...." I also agreed about maybe slowing it down a bit. Especially with such a word-packed lyric, you might get more play out of it. Anyway, just food for thought. Thanks for sharing (I think ) .... Beth

Fun write, Mike! I guess every bar has ugly women (and men for that matter), but how ugly just depends on the level of alcohol in your system lol. This one reminds me of the Ray Scott song, "The Ugly One". Check it out and see what you think: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aY1_t8rT7iQThanks for the chuckle. -TK

I like this as I mentioned earlier. The phrasing of lines 2&4 in chorus would sound better if they were identical ...word COMPANY sounds rushed.

Got to be drunk for her, company
To take this ugly girl, home with me

That track is off his new album, which I believe is his 4th album (I have them all). Been a fan of Ray Scott for over a decade, one of the last great traditional country singers in my eyes, but nobody has heard of him really. Radio don't play him, which is a crying shame! -TK

LOL! I love your ugly woman songs, Mike! I don't think this will hurt anyone's feelings because "ugly" is in the eye of the beholder. One man's ugly is another man's beauty!
By the way ... I read about some research results that came out recently. The researchers took photos of people sober, and then after one drink, two drinks and three drinks.
They showed these photos to {sober} men and women, who rated their attractiveness.
It turns out ... the photos of people after one drink were rated the highest, followed by the sober photos!
