High! This is my fifth JPFolks song (you can listen to the others here: When You're Bad, If I Had a Pair of You, Psychosis, and Cappuccino Monday) This is a comic song with perhaps a serious thought at the center. I realize the place for comedy in music is still up for debate, but there was really no other way to treat this topic. Since I barely threw this demo together in a few hours, I don't really need comments on the mix. I'll present that for critique later once it's polished (if..). I'm really interested in your thoughts on the feel, the idea, the words, the melody, the structure of the song. Is it even worth being a song? Or should it go in the scrap heap pile (along with the other hundreds of failed non-gems)? What do you think? Thank you! https://soundcloud.com/joejohnstun/being-single Being SingleWhen I wake up bright and early in the morning And I look around there's no one next to me And no bed to make no kids to feed and put to school I might turn over and go right back to sleep (Chorus: ) Oh I love just love being single And I'm thrilled just thrilled to come home to me When I think of you I miss you just a little But I love just love being singleI can go to any bar and drink and party Or stay out for weeks just surfing with the guys I can bungee off the Statue of my Liberty When I'm single and alone the world is mine I can leave the toilet seat up if I want it Or just throw my dirty clothes down like a kid I can walk around the house naked and flaunt it Cuz there's no one here to tell me I'm a filthy messy pig (Chorus) Well I like Like like little Joni And I have to have Adele sometimes And I can't get enough of Meg and Mia Cuz I'm loving being just a single guy My tux in the closet may have cobwebs But the Kama Sutra couch has none And the love song piano's in the corner While this rock star guitar is getting all of the action (Chorus) Well I go all by my lonesome to the movies And on couples night I stand around and fiddle And sometimes I'd like to have someone to hear me snore But I love being single so much more (Chorus) Though I have to say I miss you just a little But I love just love being single

I heard that it sounds like Ob-La-Di, so I decided to listen to that song and wow! Right on the money! The verse melody is almost identical. I really need to brush up on my Beatles. Other people said it sounds like 'Grandma got run over by a reindeer,' and a few other simple nursery songs. I think the issue is that when you use such a simple tune, odds are that other people before you have used it (a lesson learned by the alphabet song guy in his age-old rivalry with the Twinkle, Twinkle song guy).

Rightly, and well done, JJ. And your background sounds did add to the fun.
