Info
This is me trying to make something funky. Most people felt it was more "blues
rock" than "funky rock", though. I am a white guy, I do my best. This one has
some of guitar solo stuff that I really enjoy, and it's also
got lots of B3 organ, and some slap-pop bass playing, including a little two
beat bass hit. I wrote the lyrics for this one, and then realized that my
voice probably wouldn't work so great for this song. I recruited my friend
Tyler (aka T. Bro
for the purposes of this collaboration) who graciously
stepped up to the plate and laid down some home run vocals. Several people
commented positively on the vocals in particular, and most people seemed to
like the song. We got 9 votes, but that didn't mean much since Carol Cleveland
Sings, 40 Seconds Songs, Dylan Nau, Future Boy, and Puce (all frequent winners) were all in the fight,
too. Puce took the win.
Lyrics
well, i went to the doctor with a tricky condition i said "i'm sick and tired from getting no recognition" the doctor said "son, well, it's plain to see you need to walk tall and get a little funky" "if you want to get better you gotta be tough cause some people out there ain't afraid to play rough" "when they're dragging you down you gotta fight like hell cause nobody will help if you don't stand up for yourself" so i got a prescription for a pair of cajones and when i got home i reached straight for my bass [bass fill] i laid down this groove and i knew that it was good my body started to move like the doctor said it would if i want to get better i gotta get tough cause some people out there ain't afraid to play rough if you're dragging me down i'm gonna fight like hell cause nobody will help if I don't stand up for myself yeah it's powerful medicine getting on the one
Etc.
Programmed drums (tried real hard to get some good kick drum action), B3 via Reason,
bass (recorded the slap pop and finger picked parts seperately due to different
volume levels of the two styles...), at least two rhythm guitar parts, and one lead
part. Ty laid down one main vocal track then did some cool effected overdubs in the
bridge.
