I am a first time poster, with a first stab putting a tune out for consumption and feedback. http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=425673 Boom Baby Jon Paul Copyright Dec 26, 2005 12 bar blues feel V1 Getting thick around the middle, a little thin on top I hear my bones a creaking Whens it gonna stop My bowels are barely workin, but once or twice a week And when I get up in the night time Goddamn I gotta pee I’m from the boom, baby boom Chorus I’m a just a child from the 60’s Never thought I’d see the day When 50 was the number, on my birthday cake V2 I think I need a Porsche, or a trophy wife Its time to change my laid back style, and end my hippie life I‘ll buy a little beach house, stock up on good champagne Wash the little blue pill down, be your stallion once again I’m from the boom, baby boom Chorus I’m a just a child from the 60’s Never thought I’d see the day When 50 was the number, on my birthday cake V3 So I guess I’m getting older Ain’t nothing I can do But sit, and rock and reminisce Be old and grey with you They said I’d never find a way To make me young again Sex and drugs and rock and roll, guess it had to end No more boom, baby boom I’m from the boom, baby boom Damn that boom, baby boom Fade to end [This message has been edited by Noiseboy (edited 02-05-2006).]

Hi,
I though it was funny and well crafted, clever! Didn't think it needed those few lines of the first verse though, the bowels and the peeing.. not that is was distasteful but I thought all the verses were stronger as far as the title and concept go. I dont think of those things from that era or age..
The rest was great! End my hippie life! sex drugs Rock &roll! Look forward to hearing more!
Peace Sub

Jon Paul, I really liked this one. I think you may be elected to the AARP Hall of Fame. Me being a "Baby Boomer" I think I'm qualified to really judge this one. It's a winner. Really good lyrics. Love the ending. Vocally/musically real good. Great job. Hope we hear more from you. Welcome to the boards.terribob ------------------ http://www.soundclick.com/bpficklen

With regard to your points about the first verse, us folks in the boomer generation are now at the age where we are bombarded with ads for drugs and otc remedies, to treat the subjects of verse 1. If you were born after 1970, consider this a harbinger of things to come. I really do appreciate the feedback.

</font> Terribob, Thanks for the feedback! I guess the alternative to being depressed about my age, is to make fun of how many of us deal with it. Gracias, Jonathan

Hey Jonathan:
Nice playin'
And I thought the lyric was hysterical - specially liked the spoken part at the end.
I'm on the tail end of the boom, and while I haven't hit some of the things you mention yet - I can definitely feel them coming.
I grew a beard because I was tired of being carded for beer at age 38. Now, only 8 years later, it's mostly gray and I'm thinking of shaving it off! Jeez!
Your song really hit home - as I expect it will for many a boomer. And there's a ton of them (us, dangit)....
Hope to hear more - nice work.
Scott

Hey Noiseboy! I listened to your song and they lyrics were hilarious. I bet you had a lot of fun recording this one without laughing. Good work.

Scott</font> Scott, Thanks for having a listen, and taking time to reply. Yeah, there are a ton of us out here. I hope that we can all ease into geezerhood gently, as oppposed to being thrown in kicking and screaming! Regards, Jonathan

Cheers Dave</font> Dave, Due to national security provisions, I can neither confirm, nor deny whether this song is actually "about you". It is entirely possible that some aspects of the "song" may be revealed during congressional hearings, but I cannot go into deteail without the advise of the attorney general. A national security letter may be forthcoming, but it not, please listen at high volume and enjoy. I will be writing follow up songs from a secure location. Regards, Noiseboy
