PG Music Home Forums General Discussion User Showcase 2 sexy for me

THanks for the mention ROG!!! there's timing init

This song is about a member of a welsh "spice girls" wannabe group I met when I was recording an album for them and then there was their dancing phew.......................err where was I oh yeh. Her name was Rashelle so she was the rash I didn't want penicillin to cure,blond and always dressed to kill, my cat wore more than she did. she was 19 and I wasn't anywhere near! so she became the daughter I was glad I didn't have. The group soon broke up so she decided to move in for a year or two and I soon had more visitors than a stately home every day.including a troupe of male strippers/dancers who once tried to show us the tricks.*shudder* egged on by the girls. hmmph!
This is her.

me on Les Paul with riff guitar and trumpets/brass section from Titanic Soundfont and Emu Proteus, backing vox by The Flab Four
Recorded in Cubase SX and mastered in Soundforge.
*******************

The song was originally all me on guitars and bass with MIDI drums but I thought maybe RT's would improve it and they did but changed, in my mind, the ACDC sound more to Aerosmith so I took off my school shorts and cap, put on a cape and ran around the studio, gurning at the cat, while I sang! It was a labour of love trying to get the RTs to match my original riff...ooh for 8 chord cells per bar

enjoy

Alyn

Alyn,

This song just explodes! Wow! Love everything about it... You really bring the rock n roll swagger.

Bob

Wow Alyn, this one has it all except the video. Oh, no, it's there too. This one is already over the top but the video puts a face/body?? with the lyrics and pushed things off the chart.

This is one of your best.

Enjoyed it a lot.


Charlie

There's a lot to like about this. I like the energy in this and with a slight modification to the tracks.... personally, I'd lose the horns and go more in the Aerosmith/ AC/DC direction..... I didn't read that last measure of your post until after I listened to the song and I was already thinking this needs more in your face rock and it would be an AC/DC style tune ....straight up and hard, in your face charging.....

Cool song... but there's some strange "visuals" in there.. comparing a woman's walk to two "rats in a sack"... I must say, of all the things I would use to describe a woman's walk... that would never be one of them...and I'd probably say she's "LIKE" a disease you can't cure, not IS a disease.... kinda sounds a bit nicer than calling her a disease..... ALTHOUGH.... that's something I could hear Bon Scott saying and singing...... so in that context, yeah, it might be ok.

Good job

I'll add another WOW to the reviews, Alyn!

This is my new favourite song of yours! Man, you Brits really know how to make music!

When the song started, I had to look real close to make sure it wasn't Mick and the stones.. and later when the support instruments kicked in, it reminded me of some of Rod Stewart's stuff.

I'm going to weigh in favourably on the horns and strings... partly because they draw the song away from the stereotype that might otherwise suggest a different approach... nut mostly because what you did with them was so innovative. A lot of decorations like that end up being very obvious notes that follow the chords, but your accents were completely unique unto themselves, and that does a lot to add zest and energy to a song. And ENERGY! WOW.. This song has energy in spades!

One of the most entertaining numbers I've heard here recently.. it would be a great tune to hear live!

I'm impressed! Keep 'em coming! (I can see this one showing up on PGMusic's Facebook page, as its very captivating and hearing it makes you want to BUY BIAB immediately so you can make a song that cool!)

Hey Alyn, impeccable timing, yeah.

Well, I'm astounded by this one.

There might be some Stones, ACDC, Aerosmith and later on some Roy Wood in there, but at the end of it all it's just pure Alyn.

Needs playing LOUD for the best effect. What a blast! What a song!

Stupendous vocal track this time around - how do you DO that?

I'm tempted to say this is your best track yet, but all your efforts are so varied it's impossible to make a direct comparison. Certainly, it's one of the best things I've heard in ages.

You're gonna find it hard to follow this one, my friend.

ROG.

PS - that girl looks scarey.

Hi Alyn,

+1
I really enjoyed the energy.

Guenter

Alyn, No question your best post to date. This thing rocks! Love the drum sound and the horns. Great lyrics and really well sung. Smokin!!! Tom

Bob

I love the word swagger, that is exactly what I was after but couldn't think of the word!! Glad you enjoyed

Charlie
I had to include a picture of her to show what I was singing about and that's the most amount of clothes she wore in my house!!
Thanks for commenting

Herb
My version with just me and MIDI was a tribute to ACDC but somehow didn't have the swagger (Thanks Bob ) and also my solo didn't fit /was awful.


In my neck of the woods in the UK, Wales, 2 rats etc is used to describe a lady that wiggles her bum when walking, they aren't fighting just adjusting themselves to get comfortable.
She was like a rash, she was bloody everywhere in the house; hair dye on the carpet; tights above the bath; half drunk cups of tea under the chairs etc so it was like having a rash that wouldn't go away. She seemed to like the analogy 'cos she knew about it from the time I first thought of it!!

Anyway thanks a lot for listening and commenting

Alyn

Pat

YEH us Brits RAWK!!!
Thanks for getting the one, two as that was my tribute to Mick, I even tried cowbells as well but no, oh no ... no!
The horn section bit was split into 2 or 3 note chords for different sounds even tho' I played it with 4-5 note, plus mistakes, stabs. I never noticed the accents , they were just lucky mistakes.

Thanks for the WOW!! And yeh that WOULD be great live but at my age now I would need a quiet lie-down in a dark room afterwards

Guenter Thanks for commenting.When I added the RTs the energy seemed to take off

Tom Thanks mate and my vocals are like that because of years of smoking, altho that word reminds me of Jim Carey and The Mask SMOKIN!

ALyn

ROG,
When I saw your post I did think of waiting a bit but then I though NAH...Let us both show them Yanks how to rock *ducks*

In 1973ish I heard Roy Wood's album Boulders on which he played all the instruments himself and I thought THAT'S what I'm gonna do. I am humbled by the comparison to a great songwriter and performer.

My vocals, I think, were take 22!! and my voice was becoming very tired, so maybe that's the secret, hmmm.

Rash was a really nice girl, when slouched in front of the TV, but when performing she oozed s*x as in that video. Everybody thought I was..... but I wasn't I also "bounced" a few guys who tried it on, NOW that was scary!!

Thanks for listening and commenting,

Alyn

Watch out Mick Jagger!! This one really rocks. Love that big, trashy drum sound. How'd you process the drums? Very, very cool!! Take care. Greg

Now that's a rocker. like 2 rats in a sack.
Wouldn't mind hearing the original version.
Style really suits your vocals.
Great comment here "daughter I was glad I didn't have."
Cheers.

Well Alyn,

We think that this is definitely your best contribution so far!
We love the energy in this, the vocals, and Rob especially likes the keyboards (or at least what sounds like keyboards, probably the brass section) here.
This definitely rocks!

Rob and Anne-Marie

Hi Alyn,

Right at the opening guitar riff I thougt Dave HIll, Noddy Holder and Slade!!!

But in fact it's a Gibson production, all the way!

I like what you did with it! I would move the vocals a little more in front, but I'm like Floyds drums thing, I always think that!

This is an intelligent mix!

Love it!

Grts,

Fred

Awesome song - great singing and production - and hilarious commentary to go with it.

Hey Alyn.
Over the top great write.
This one will stay around awhile.
Rob.

Hi Alyn. That is a very funny story. I had a look at the Raschelle video. I would love to see a video of YOUR song. Why not try and get permission from her use some of her images in your video? And maybe even a bit of a mash up of her song in there? Wouldn't that be awesome!

Your explanation to me was funnier than the actual lyrics.....

My goodness Alyn, YOU ROCK!!!

Everything about this is fantastic. Lyrics, arrangement, spot on. And those vocals are jawdropping where you been hiding that voice GREAT. Super harmonies too.

WELL DONE!!!
