Trailer Trash

I heard you think I'm trailer trash
But baby when your blue eyes flash
My daydreams make my ego crash
And baby won't you dance with me

I know..I live across the tracks
And bring my lunch in paper sacks
My ride's a worn out Pontiac
Still baby won't you dance with me

Somebody said you think I'm cute
But deep down you don't give a hoot
If only I had lots of loot
I think you just might dance with me

The dance is ending so I better go
That last song always seems a little slow
But honey, I just gotta know
I hope you say you'll dance with me
Baby won't you dance with me
Won't you dance with me

Just a brief note to express my appreciation to Mike for his unique Producing and Vocalizing abilities. The song expresses the hope that a kid from across the tracks might be able to achieve the unattainable goal of acceptance with a girl above his station in life. Mike's expressive vocals are an absolute treasure.

Thanks, Pal... for all your dedication and hard work. ----Dave

Michael & Dave, I like it. The lyrics remind me of a more innocent time and the music harkens back to the '50s. It's a real cool sound and you do a real smooth vocal on it. Real good collaboration, guys.

Hi guys,


With THAT title[color:#33FFFF].....I wasn't expecting something so serious sounding but it was a BEAUTIFUL job !

Thanks for sharing your cool talents.

Calvin

Wow, the production takes me back in time. Really cool Dave & Mike!

Best, John

Hi Dan:

Thanks for listening. It was an "innocent time" when I asked that snooty girl to dance... LOL! She turned me down but I got over it!

Love those harmonies Zaneski can render so flawlessly.

Best, ----Dave

Sorry, Double Post - the site is not behaving this morning. ---Dave

Hi Calvin:

Thanks for listening so intently. Much appreciated.

----Dave

Thanks, John:

I had to dig deep to remember the "rebuff" I got from that Prom Queen so long ago... and Mike sure "brought it" as far as I'm concerned. Thanks for taking time to listen, Pal. ----Dave

Wow..I really like this! Music, vocals, lyrics, production, everything. Vocals sound somewhat like Don Henley. Great work guys!

What a great listen!

Had a feeling I was hearing a long lost Paul Anka record. Great sound!

"I know..I live across the tracks
And bring my lunch in paper sacks
My ride's a worn out Pontiac
Still baby won't you dance with me"

Dave - I can give you no better compliment than "I wish I had written those lines!"

Terrific. Both of ya.

floyd

man oh man,you guys got it together.What a cool song!Lovin' everything about it,great co-write.Mike

Hi James:

Mike is going to get totally "out of control" after being compared to Don Henley. Thanks for your nice comments. We are grateful that you listened and commented. ----Dave

Hi Floyd:

I'm not sure that I've had a nicer comment on my lyrics... and coming from you, that is "high praise" and I sure appreciate it. Mike's production and vocals really add polish to a song. So glad you took the time to listen. ----Dave

Hi Michael L:

Appreciate your listen and thoughts about Trailer Trash. I really was pleased with how it turned out in Mike Z's version. He sure does great work and is so easy to work with. Thanks "Mr. Louisiana" for stopping by. ----Dave

Congrats guys. Pleasing groove. Really enjoy the way you move through your melodies Michael.

Hi Martin:

Thanks for taking time to listen. Mike is an amazing artist in his own right. We are lucky to have him and his services available to us here at JPF.

All the best, ----Dave

Very nice guys!!

Thanks so much for listening and commenting, Jimmy:

I received a review from an old Nashville Hand and was pleasantly surprised at his rating this morning.

Always good to hear from you and I know Mike is pleased with your kind words.

All the best, ----Dave

Michael, you did an awesome job on this! Just came back for second listen and noticed it was a song you did for Dave so I wanted to edit my post and give Dave his due for a really fine write!

What a cool, distinctively original melody! The vocals and the overall vibe reminds me of early Eagles tunes; the pre Joe Walsh period that is. Awesome song!

Tom

With that title, I was expecting some twang. This is a whole lot better. Nice write and cool production. The way it's written, the title screams Dance With Me but Trailer Trash is an attention grabber and so much catchier. Well done all around.

Ricki

Dan, Calvin, John, James, Floyd, Mike, Martin, Jimmy, Tom, and Ricki..

Hi everyone, and thanks for listening, and it truly makes me happy knowing you enjoyed listening.

Dave makes it so easy for me in that the demos he gives me to listen to are fully wrought, pretty decent demos in their own right, and I get to pick and choose what ideas to use, and the extra creative freedom to add my own creative "voice" to the music as well.

The Fats Domino kind of "triplets in four-four sound" (aka 12/8) does remind one of bygone eras, and my harmonies are kind of "Western Swing" in retrospect to me, and the organ is the BIAB reggae organ, but I was pleased and thought these various style sources worked together nicely.

James, I love Don Henley and appreciate that comparison.

Floyd, despite "You're Having My Baby" (which I still think can work with a humble performed folk-ish sound, not the pompous sounding hit recording), I've always admired Paul Anka as a writer and performer.

And lastly, thanks Dave. It never feels like "hard work" producing these little gems.

Mike

Hi Tom:

Thanks for being so observant and for taking the time to come back for another listen. So far, Mike has done eight demos for me and I'm torn about this one being the best to my ears. When you deal with an artist who is also a producer, the problem of judging the "product" is compounded. One thing is certain... this man (Mike Zaneski) is very close to being a musical genius.

Makes me very humble to see what he does with my songs.

Regards, ----Dave

Hi Ricki:

The title, thrown into the first line, is supposed to make the potential listener even more anxious to give it a spin. Your songwriting instincts are amazing and I briefly considered "Dance with Me" as the "label" of the song... but there are several other songs with that same name and I opted for "Trailer Trash."

Thanks for listening and for sharing your thoughts. ----Dave

Dave,

When this song becomes a hit, that prom queen who snubbed you will come calling! Thats when revenge gets sweet! Great write and flawless production and performance. Congrats to both Michael and you. Really enjoyed it.

Dave

Hi Dave: (The Handsome one!)

So glad you took time to drop by and spin Mike's excellent work. Regarding that "Prom Queen"... I already have my revenge... she weighs 300 pounds and looks like a Gorilla... LOL! Hmmm... I feel another song coming on! Aw heck, that one's already been written!

I sure appreciate your comments.

All the best, ----Dave (The old Geezer)

A very cool song and presentation you two. Something to be proud of.

Stevie

Hello, Michael. My take is that this guy wants to do more than dance.

Hi Stevie:

Thanks for taking time to listen to Mike's fantastic interpretation of my song. He "made it his own" and that is such a well hidden talent few can master. Your comment means a great deal to both of us.

Regards, ----Dave

Hey Jim:

You can bet your bottom dollar this guy has more on his mind than dancing. I thought Zaneski "sold the song" with style and panache we don't experience often today. Thanks for listening and commenting. ----Dave

Thought I'd try a "shameless bump" 'cause I think Mike Zaneski has made a "silk purse" out of a "sows ear" with my song!

Awesome to the point write Dave, with Mike's wonderfully entertaining performances and production, this is a winner, indeed.

A very cool collab guys.

Hi Nelson:

Thanks ever so much for taking time to listen and your meaningful comment. I know Mike will be especially pleased. Regards, ----Dave

I like this...great "colour" in the key ....and you so want him to end up dancing with her.

Hi John:

Thanks for listening... and for your insightful comment. You bet, the listener is supposed to hope this guy ends up getting a dance.
B-T-W... congratulations on the outstanding play of the Canadian Volleyball Men's team who soundly trounced the U.S. team in Rio. An impressive win. ----Dave

Well that takes us back (well a bit further for Bud than Janice )

Got a bit of Don Henley in that vocal...maybe because we've been listening to his latest and are big fans. Yeah it's got that late 50's early 60's slow dance thing and that's cool and on top of that the write is exponentially better than what I remember from those old songs.

The production is spot on. The style is nailed and the vocals are amazingly supportive of the feel. Simply sounds wonderful on our monitors.

A SoundCloud playlist keeper for sure!

J&B

Hey there, J & B:

So pleased you gave "Trailer Trash" a spin. You are the second comment about Don Henley... and I'll bet Mike is one happy camper to hear that. Thanks for your support and high praise. He makes it sound so easy! ----Dave

Hey Guys,

Unfortunately, summer a very busy time for me,thus I'm not around quite as much--so here a little late! I won't get everyone's songs I've missed!

Loved this song Dave, might be my fav of yours. This vibe really also fit Mikey-Zee's vocals quite well--I get the Don Henley comparison, though Mike you have a little more tenderness IMO. Hey nice work, I have no nits, although I'd like a little more "cowbell"..................

steady-eddie.

Hey Eddie:

Thanks for the spin and super-nice comments. More cowbell is now very high on my "to do" list... LOL!

Zaneski is going to be difficult to deal with in the future... that's three "Henleys" he has received lately. He is something special, isn't he!

Regards,

----Dave

I received some very nice comments about this song from a very unexpected source yesterday. Someone at the Ramp heard it and gave it high praise. Sure made my day. ----Dave
