This is a humorous local (Malaysian) folk song which has never been recorded before and I turned it into a big band piece by entirely using BIAB

The style applied;

_CROONR2 R 4/4 sw8 110 Crooner Big Band w/Pian0
(I changed the tempo to 140)

763: Clarinet, Soloist Older Swing SW 140



The lyrics is bilingual (English/Malay) and in standard English it says something like...

Every time I see darling my heart's shaking
Every day I think of you morning and evening
I forgot to eat my food, cause there's no other girl but this one

Underneath the coconut tree I will wait for you
Oh darling here I am, don't close the door
comb your hair that looks like a broom
I know it is full of lice grin

A nice arrangement using the horns, and clever graphics too. smile

Welcome to the forum. This was something different and fun to wake up to. BIAB (Band In A Box) is a welcoming community where all get to experience different styles of music.

Thanks for sharing your music.
