please listen.[color:#FF0000].... [/color] http://www.soundclick.com/bands/0/calvinstewart[i]Russell [/i]© words and music by C. Stewart ( June 8, 2016 )
He's just a face in the crowd Looks like some of us His dad calls him Russell His mama calls him Russ
He doesn't have a car Walks like some of us And if he can't thumb a ride He'll just ride the bus
Cause he likes to drink vodka in the back of the bus
VODKA, VODKA
He's been out drinkin' And hittin' on the pot It's the kind of thing Russell does a lot
But if he'd a had a plan Gave it more thought He might of made it home Instead of gettin' caught
But he likes to drink vodka in the back of the bus
Russell won't be coming home tonight Russell won't be coming home tonight Russell won't be coming home tonight Russel lwon't be coming home tonight
Cause he likes to drink vodka in the back of the bus
He's just a face in the crowd Looks like some of us His dad calls him Russell His mama calls him Russ
He doesn't have a car Walks like some of us And if he can't thumb a ride He'll just ride the bus
Cause he likes to drink vodka in the back of the bus
VODKA, VODKA
Russell won't be coming home tonight Russell won't be coming home tonight Russell won't be coming home tonight Russell won't be coming home tonight

Hi Calvin, Love it. Something Germanic about it. To me, it sounds like something that Joel Grey could've sung in "Caberet," (except for "pot") --feeding the forties German Rusky-phobic (vodka) frenzy. Another solid effort! Great work. Mike

Always enjoy listening to you avant-garde songs Calvin. You do cool "cranky."
The word in this context does not mean ill tempered. It means edgy and different in a good way.

Great stuff Calvin. A bit of musical theatre in this one. This needs to be part of a full musical show. I can picture it now. I see an Emmy in your future.

Hey Calvin,
Well..... um...... yep...... whooooo......
Not a song to play when you're getting intoxicated, because the "whoosey" effect comes across really well.
It instantly brings to mind, when wifey and self went out for the night, and being good citizens, did what they were trying to promote re: catch a bus home to lesson traffic congestion and alleviate the strain on the local taxi drivers.
Well, the bus pulled up to a stop, and was "raided" by police in full riot gear, because they had "heard" that there was a problem on the busses.... full with drunk people.
Hmmm, YES, the bus was full of drunken people going home, many of whom were very well dressed, and trying to be somewhat articulate ( having had many drinks ) with the said enforcement officers. It all worked out Ok in the end, as the big mouths i.e. the women, were incensed that we ( and I mean the local community ) were being obliging to their wishes. Several could have been arrested, but it was decided that this would not good with the local area command. So hence, we went on our way.
So, to Russel, your hero in this piece, may he be able to go about his business, ( wether real or imagined ) ..... and bless him.
cheers, niteshift

LOL
Calvin you might just be crazier than me-a crown I would hate to relinquish-but the competition from you is indeed getting scary I admit...
Have you ever pitched some of your comedy stuff to Warner Bros in Nashville? They love comedy.....Yes I know that place is harder to get into than Fort Knox......But your stuff is really good man...Just dont let any DEA agents ever hear it-cause it might well be considered Probable Cause for a Search Warrant-lol....
You know how easily those Jack Webb types get alarmed-lol
Have a good one
Tom

Hi ya Tom,
THANKS for tuning in, much appreciated. No, I've never tried to pitch, but thank you for the kind words about what I attempt to do. Jack Webb, ha ha !
I'll let you wear the crown, I'm strictly commercial :-)
