I just rediscovered this long forgotten song I wrote with Chad G.Smith back around 2001. I was listening through a stack of unmarked CDs to see what was on them and here it was. It was the last song we wrote together before Chad slipped off the face of the Earth seemingly. I was gonna do a completely new production but out of nostalgia for the good ole days with Chad I let the original rough work print carry the day. I do remember I had allergies at the time and you can hear me sniffing a few times between stanzas and it has string squeeks galour. It's a querky story that only Chad could write. I composed the music and contributed a few lines here and there but it's pure Chad for those who remember him.

We Spanked a Good Night Out of the Moon
(c) 2010 Steven M. Biederman/Chad G. Smith

My sun baked milk shake was sitting in a puddle
In the middle of a picnic table
where I was sucking sugar from a melon I was sharing
with my sister and her best friend Mabel
When Mabel goosed me googley eyed
You should have seen my seeds take flight
Muh my my my Muh my my my
Muh my my Summer

The Mop Chop quartet was belting out a number
as me and my pals whistled Dixie
I was champing like a stallion to the rhythm of a fiddle
When Mabel up and kissed me
And though it came as no surprise
She kind of had me hypnotized
Muh my my my Muh my my my
Muh my my Summer

We danced all night
sang by the fire
and slapped the silver off the spoons
That summer night
When all was said and done
We spanked a good night out of the moon
We spanked a good night out of the moon

My all time cool lines were falling like the pedals
Of a pollen laden sweet magnolia
I was busting buttons like the Wizard in the land of Oz
Hands like Casanova
Some days life sure fills your cup
and when it does you suck it up
Muh my my my Muh my my my
Muh my my Summer

We danced all night
sang by the fire
and slapped the silver off the spoons
That summer night
When all was said and done
We spanked a good night out of the moon
We spanked a good night out of the moon

I spoke like a poet, tryin' to make her swoon
delivering all my favorite lines
But I sputtered like spokes in a bag of balloons
Muh moo moo moo moo Muh my my my...

Heart skipped a stroke, stung like shrapnel
I said "Mabel it's been good to know ya"
I was frozen like a possum in the headlights of her old man's
squeelin' Chevy Nova
Young love's a crazy thing
It feels good even when it stings
Muh my my my Muh my my my
Muh my my Summer

We danced all night
sang by the fire
and slapped the silver off the spoons
That summer night
When all was said and done
We spanked a good night out of the moon
We spanked a good night out of the moon


Muh my my my Muh my my my
Muh my my Summer

Muh my my my Muh my my my
Muh my my Summer

My wife's calling me for breakfast Stevie so I have to make this a little short.

Man, that's one helluva song. Love the lyric - very inventive and a little wacky. And the music is a great fit to it - kind of old timey with a happy nostalgic feel to it. Has to be one of my favorites of yours - gonna go download it. smile

Hi Stevie

I like this one a lot -- it the beginning the delivery made me think of Bruce Cockburn -- that's meant as a big compliment..
the string squeaks feel like a live performance and add to it ! Good song. jm

Listened twice. Laughed even harder the second time. And this:
"I sputtered like spokes in a bag of balloons". How refreshingly antinormal! Don't change it. It's imperfect just like it is.

I always like hearing those "lost gems". Those are pretty good lyrics and some interesting phrases I hadn't heard before. Thanks for sharing. Going to hard to beat this one when you re-record it.

What a cool little tune! I think Dan said Roger Miller, and I couldn't place it as I was reading, but I think he pegged it. Very clever lyric and you did a wonderful job with the music. I love this part:

I spoke like a poet, tryin' to make her swoon
delivering all my favorite lines
But I sputtered like spokes in a bag of balloons

Maybe Chad will see this thread and come back for a visit.

Hi Stevie B,

This is such fun! You put just the right music to this clever lyric. It must have been hard to keep a straight face while singing these words and sniffling! smile Wacky and inventive, worth another look, I think.

I'm not sure that he did keep a straight face while singing it.

But that doesn't matter. It's added to the characterfulness of the performance.

This is so cute, Stevie. I like it.


"Grits is one of those country-boy words that is both singular and plural-like deer, elk and sheep. I think the singular is appropriate when there's a modifier that makes it clear one is talking about something specific. Like, 'Grits are good for you, but these here grits is tasty.'"~~Joe Wrabek

I'm astounded, Little Stevie. I had no idea you were so gifted. Hands down, a top notch song. I love every note, every word. I was also thinking Roger Miller. Or even John Prine. You got the gift, man.

Thanks Scott. Chad wrote some pretty obscure lyrics and most of them were homeruns. I was lucky to have been able to co-write several tunes with him. Wish I knew how to get in touch with him now. I've tried every way I know how short of calling in the FBI but to no avail so far. I appreciate it as usual.

Very cool tune... Catchy and clever with a great attitude.

The only nit I really have is the use of the name 'Mabel'... Sure sounds like great grandma's name?

Regardless, this is a really good tune. I bet if a major artist recorded it they'd change that name, but someone should definitely pick this one up!

Peace,

Ian

Thanks Joice. I checked out Bruce Cockburn and I like a lot of his stuff from what I could get from Amazon.com. Thanks for the listen.

Jonathan,
Thanks for the listen and comments. I can only take credit lyrically to a couple of lines in the verses but I did write the bridge, which you quote, myself. When I was a kid we used to clothes pin baseball cards to the spokes of our bikes to make it sound like a motor. Then we used balloons which when the spokes hit the frame, made it sound kind of like like a Harley. That's where that line came from. Anyway, thanks again for the listen and review.

Thanks for the audition Stan. Yeah, I wonder what some of the old folks are up to and where they went too. I did call RobertK this morning and talked to him for the first time in a couple of years.

Maybe Chad will see this thread and come back for a visit.


Thanks Wendy. Glad you liked those particular lines. They were my lyrical contributions along with a couple other lines.

Hi Stevie,

Well, this has cool written all over it, I'd be real happy with a song like this, and people have mentionded some cool lines, which I agree, but this part is also very neat...

Young love's a crazy thing
It feels good even when it stings

ps...did I mention you mention that your performance was great too, thanks for the entertainment !

Ricki


Thanks Ricki. I was able to keep a straight face because the humor is understated and I wanted the performance to be kind of dead pan. Thanks for the listen.

My fav lines are

Some days life sure fills your cup
and when it does you suck it up

You can't help but feel the fun and the summer when listening.

Great

Hi Rick. Sorry for taking so long to respond. The title as well as most of the lyric came from Chad. He had a penchant for writing obscure or qwerky lyrics.

Regardless, this is a really good tune. I bet if a major artist recorded it they'd change that name, but someone should definitely pick this one up!

Peace,

Ian


Thanks Ian. I know what you mean. Mable was my Mom's name. But Mabel rhymed with table so it had to be, LOL.

Thanks again for the listen.

Great tune LSB
It reminds me a lot of John Hartford.


I used to live in Nashville but I still I write songs.
I can't help it.
