HiDee Mz O, & Thanks for the Kind Visitation!

I'm REAL Glad Big Jimmy DID this Song... I've kinda bugged him a bit on a few lines, but truly, he gets to make Final Cut on What He's a-gonna Sing on the Final Version!

I imagine this'd be fun to listen to at 'most ANY convention where the Sex-Ratio's about-even, eh? ;-)>

My bet is Jim'll find he gets a lotta Requests for this on Pub Nites...especially from guys with Pocket-Protectors in their Sporrons...

&..if it ever IS a decent Hit...we-uns CAN head off to Jamaica & wing it LIVE..eh? (I always wanted to visit that Island..& bug Mz Rachael there I haven't heard our Last Co- yet..) ;-)>

AND check out the Bacardi Factory..but of course!

Real Glad Our Little Pick-Up Line picked ya UP a bit! (I DID a Serious-One yesterday..for "Penance"...& there's a fresh Evil Halloween Lyric already-fermentin' at Board 3 again!)

Thanks for your Very Kind Visit & Sugs, Jackie...& here's an XOXOXOX to tide ya over/Thanks, too...for that FUN Lyric Challenge about "TIME"...

Time's Up...Big Hugs, Wee Forehead Smooch,
Stan

HiDee Mz Michele!

Hey, I think Your + My "Over You" Song is gonna go BIG in Aussiland...(If only 'cuz we got a COCKATOO in it..heh!)(AND You Singing It!)(AND your Producer workin' hard to make it a Hit, too!)

I'm SO thrilled to have Talented People workin' their Keesters-Off making Words-I-Dreamed-Up SING! (& Hopefully..having a LOT of fun Singing-'Em!)

I'll TRY to pen more "Normal" Songs..as more time goes by...yet these "Eyebrow-Raisers" seem to come easier...(Gulp!)

Many Thanks for Your Kind Visite...& Co-..M'LadyChum!
Best Wishes/Big Hugs/& GOOD LUCK on Your CD Project!
XOXOX Stan

HiDee Mz O, & Thankee for Your Kind Visitation!

It's been great fun co-ing with Big Jim seeing what he could do with a "Stranger-Than-Usual-One"...& he's hit it outta the park, IMO!

Glad ya like my Borderline-Crass "Rub" Line...(Which..I couldn't believe my Luck..applies to BOTH Genders!!!) ;-)> & tha twacky Bridge'll remain a Forever Favorite of mine...too! (I'm SO tired of "Experts" tellin' us "What's-Normal" & "How-To"..)

I agre with Your Logic on the "Get My Way" Line...& Jim's Aware... I'm afraid "Twist" still has lotta Chubby Checker to it..subconsciously...tho I admire Your Take on what might oughta-be-there...

Yep..it should Play Well at just about ANY kinda Convention...heh-heh...where the Natives Get Restless...

Hmm.."When The Natives Get Restless" sounds like Da Next Potential Hook...if you're in the mood for a Co-, M'LadyChum?~

Hope Big Jimmy's in the Mood for Yet Another Reggae Foray...?

THANKS for that FINE Song Challenge..before I finally-shaddup here! (My Muse is on Steroids this month!)

Big Thanks-Filled Hugs Backatcha, Mz O!

HiDee NeighborGuy Calvin!

I agree..we need MORE Big Jim hearable here...& I'm glad this li'l Number has got him Underways! (Hopefully Mz O & I can come up with Yet Another Reggae-able Beaut.& Soon!) "The Natives are Restless TONIGHT"...yeah..that's IT~ ;-)> (I just LOVE Doin' Pub Songs!!!)

Thanks Bob.....it is always better to have a smile on your face even though you feel like the pits. It can put a new perspective on things and helps you think much better. That is a scientific fact.

Whoopsie...Hi Bro Muskie...I wuz scrollin' bass-ackwards & Steve's Cowboy Hat caught my eye...(I LIKE those Hats..got me a Stetson in the closet..but Baseball Caps are kinda like In-Style down here in Tampa/got me over a dozen!) How's life in Minnesota?..

I lived in St Paul..age 3..& loved watchin' the Trolleycars go by!
Moved to Idaho..age 4..but not before my kid bro, Doug, was born in St Paul...so I feel a deep kinship with Minn! (We use a LOT of 3-M's Scotch Tape..heh.) & Big Jimmy is Scottish, too...

Talk about "Connectedness", eh? Small World!

Thanks for Your Kind Visit, Always glad to provide a few smiles!

HI Again, Bro Jimmy!

Yep..we'd prolly get banned for This Baby in Singapore...even tho they Do Drink Legitimately there. Real Strict Moral Police...alas!

Not to Worry...Mz Beth & I've come up with another Lyric for Your Consideration...(Hardly ANY "Eyebrow-Raisin'" Necessary) that continues the International "Party-Down" Atmosphere, with a sorta Reggae-meets-Jungle-Drums kinda feel. Should have it to ya in a couplea days when we got all the Kinks sorted-out (& put some fresh Kinkiness back IN!)

Stay Tuned, Amigo...think we gotcha Another Winner...you watch!

Best Wishes & Major League THANKEES for The Effort on This Baby!

How fun is this!

I wanted to dance...great music and vocal for a very cool lyric. I read it over first and couldn't imagine what it would sound like, but this works so well! Great song to play on a rainy day, such as we are having here!

Big Jim/ Stan,

You boys have some skillz!

Great choice doing this as reggae. It really brings out the best of this lyric.

If I have a nit, it would be that verses and chorus sounds too similar to me. It might help to have some arrangement stuff to differentiate them?

But a lot of fun, I definately agree!

Thanks Magne....I take your comments on board. This is just a rough demo and if we are taking the song further I would add more arrangement to break it up. There is quite a difference in melody although the chord structure is similar. I made it similar on purpose as this is a short bouncy song and the accent should be on listening to the words rather than the melody. Think Shaggy singing "I got high" or any Bob Marley songs the chorus is always similar to the melody..
