I just found this attached to an email. I guess I meant to send it to somebody dont think I ever did lol. Saved indraft.
But I wrote this solely because I had that boxed 50's pattern an ez keys when I was using it. I think this is where I developed a hatred for canned music.
But halfway decent song worth doing the real way,,?
Well, I was stuck in a box between two and three When a song came on that was familiar to me Heard that riff got me feeling alright I said, go, Johnny B. Goode tonight
I love that elevator (elevator music) It's a stimulator (elevator music) A rejuvenater, (elevator music) It keeps on elevating me
Now, it was getting hot great balls of fire Good Golly Ms. Molly I was feelin inspired Man called down, said "it won't be long" I said Man "why'd you interrupt my song"
I love that elevator (elevator music) You can save me later (elevator music) My defibrillator (elevator music) it keeps on elevating me
No, I'm not talkin bout the kind that goes go ding ding ding.... It's the kind that kicks your heels up And gives you back your zing

The real way ? whatever that means . Yeah its cool boogey woogey , I'm impressed
Thanks man. Well the first verse refers to chuck, so I think id do a guitar version. Second verse refers to Jerry Lee, and little Richard, so works there.
With an Elvis vocal
Just would like it to be a modern twist on the classics... Amazing that stuff can be considered elevator music today
If I do it again I'd try to make it sound more modern instead of bingo night at the seniors home. That's the problem with boxed stuff
I wasn't alive when that stuff hit, but I guess I have the feel by listening to people inspired by them.
Man I don’t know , you know me I promote Depends what you wanna get out of it You could talk to my manager do what we’re doing on a small budget for laughs , who knows make a few bucks with some elbow grease

Lol nah I don't need a manager, they want 50% of what I make.
I don't think of music as a way to make money,. 1% make 99% of it
Basically lol, Its to be heard , i'm not really into money , if we can sell cds down the road all good you think i give a [naughty word removed] on this material world at 70 , not really

Firstly, Dom... Your premise here is that everyone must be just as shallow, lifeless, and miserable as you. Why would anyone be so tickled to literally be a captive audience, and be subjected to poorly produced Casio versions of classic rock songs? Anyone who actually recognizes the music is immediately reminded of a time before socialism corrupted the US Constitution, and good God fearing Christian morality was universally accepted as a necessary template for American unity. Then, of course, the bastardization of said songs are just a reminder of copyrights and greedy corporate bureaucracy. But, since the trapped patron is forced to listen, the screwed up music can't be unheard... Yet another reminder of progressive social engineering, and the ignorance of the current generation who believe "beats" have always sounded like'dat. So, why a song about elevator music...? Probably because you actually "aspire" to be an elevator star...
Secondly, God forbid... If I were trapped in an elevator with nothing else to listen to, and you were just grinning and bouncing along to the music... I would probably kill and eat you.
500 lbs and going up Full of ideas I never shut up Pants on the ground ain't gettin' me down Plenty of room baby test your luck
I babble all day no matter who you are Trapped in a box you won't get far Hide your tears and cover your ears It's my world I'm the elevator star...
Sucks. If you'd work on your craft and learned how to write to an existing melody, you might adone ok
But like most of your stuff it's aimless, pointless, not at all humerous, and worst of all, not fitting my melody. If you want to poke fun, why not do it correctly, but you don't have the chops.
Dude you suddenly act like your just a guy who likes to play songs. You really think you're good, and ive never seen you take a critique well.
Always a hint of sarcasm, or some unrelated retort.
* Japov I think the melody is weak in this section"
" Ahh duh, you folks have to stop accusing me of singing".
We get it you don't mind being told your singing is weak... But again coukd be worked on...
But don't say anything about my music...
The whole thing stinks. Work on stuff, learn your craft, listen to good writers.
Have something to say and stay clear of hal Lindsay
Say now let me grab my guitar, play the most cliche blues guitar in the history of music, ..mumble, and sing like im soooooo cool, and pass it off as a song?
The song sounds pretty good to me. Well performed too, lots of energy. It's a bit derivative, but maybe that's the point.
There is no such thing as a barnuckle. The hairy ass cheek you mention might sport a carbuncle or, less likely unless it belongs to a whale, a barnacle. Hmm, where is a whale's ass?

At least this is song discussion, I didn't see it before.
Firstly, the point of the song is a hyperbolic one.
I recall one time being in an elevator and hearinng 50's music, and thinking this must be cast aside now as elevator music, but realizing as the guy in the song is too, how great that music was, is and the irony.
He's enjoying the music. It's not survivor on an island it's a guy stuck in an elevator help will be thee and not to be taken so serious
If it sounds like Casio I get it. I only wrote it cause I had the ez keys track.
I don't like the way it sounds as prefaced. Reading is fun n mental
and you can clearly tell it's done tongue and cheek and fun.
If you can't tell it's hyperbolic your, well you.
Point was was it worth redoing which I'll never get an honest Answer now.
So I'll just do it and pitch to movie or tv for an elevator scene

Typo Are barnacles harmless? Despite some misconceptions, barnacle spots do not cause any harm nor are they linked to any serious health conditions. However, are sometimes mistaken for other types of skin growths such as moles and warts
The bottom line is, in life, sometimes good things happen, sometimes bad things happen. But if you don’t take a chance, nothing happens.
Thankfully, dreams can change. If we'd all stuck with our first dream, the world would be overrun with cowboys and princesses. If I worried about the glass half full all the time, I'd die of thirst
Well finally you posted a song.........Hurrah! Kinda of a "cover" with your own lyrics, but it was fun! Maybe Tony could give you a lead guitar track.........I think you two could work together quite well? Bring up your harmonies a little louder, I enjoyed your boogie-woogie. Vocals decent, maybe give the falsetto part a little more energy like Jerry Lee.
Good to see you post.........I should get off my butt and post something new, am working on a Country tune however, but haven't been in my studio much this past year as "real work" seems to get in my way along with other distractions.
