This is one of the three demo songs that Hector has cut - They persuaded me to produce an album for him. I never thought I would hear a doo wop rap song. I would appreciate your comments and opinions. You have to figure out the lyrics for yourself - it is rap law........

Thanks in advance

Tom

Very original and creative, Tom. I actually like this one although I had my doubts before listening. Very good stuff. Give Hector my kudos.

Tom, I really liked the arrangement--and what a cool concept. The timing should be good for this as rap has been crossing over with more conventional melodies the last couple of years--but I haven't heard the "du-wap" sound with rap yet. I think this song needs a little more polish, but you're close. I think the base and drums are coming through fine, the keyboard perhaps could be slightly louder, not much, just 1 dec., any more than the vocal could get too far back.

One idea you might want to try for fun that I thought would be a nice addition, is to have a "girl's" voice sing a harmony on only the "Hey Girl" on the the last two choruses, I found myself wanting to sing that there myself--just a thought for experimentation.

Very cool, I liked it a lot!

steady-eddie.

Yep - all of the songs I put on Soundclick for free download --- my philosophy is that it is more important to get the songs out there, rather than try to make a few cents.

It's never too late? Yes it is, so do it now.

If, given time, a monkey can write the complete works of Shakespeare maybe there's hope for me.

I love this, Tom. smile Charming and quite catchy. Really like the switch into the "Hey Girl" chorus. Fine vocals.

I wish the lyrics had been posted. I couldn't make out all of them, but what I heard sounded tight.
