Just a song about having a party. I feel like Nero playing a fiddle (he wasn't very good either). While all this sadness covers the world, I come up with a happy, goofy song. There is one thing I agreed with his playing music in the face of tragedy. It soothes the savage beast. Unfortunately the savage beast of today is resistant to harmony. Come On Down to... Soundcloud Come On Down to...YouTube This song started with a riff sometime last summer. I wanted to play some Latin bass and chose the samba style. In BiaB I put chords to the riff, then picked up a guitar to play and sing along with it. The title soon came out as the first words. The vocal had to be done by a guy in a leisure suit with too much bling and too much cologne. Not even the synth vocals had that, so... I had to cover him up with party-goers. I was going to keep this one until the war was over, but... Style is _SAMBA_P.STY (Samba w/ Acoustic Bass & Piano) RealTracks in song: 919:Piano, Acoustic, Rhythm Mambo Ev 150 RealTracks in song: 1818:Guitar, Acoustic, Rhythm SonMontuno Ev 165 Loop in Song: Loops PAK 1\World\Drums, Acoustic, SambaBrazilA Ev 190.wav Loop in Song: Loops PAK 1\Funk\Drums, Acoustic, UpbeatLatinFunkA Ev 130.wav Loop in Song: Percussion Loops\Loop124bpm Conga 8ths 4 bars fill at end.wma RealDrums [in style:Samba^1-a:Sticks , b:Ride Contemporary I added a couple guitar parts, voices, and some midi stuff. The sound fx came from freesounds.org and pixabay.com. Yes, I did the vocal, although the only bling I wear is my wedding ring with one of the diamonds missing, and I never use cologne --unless it's unscented. Of course I welcome any and all comments. Come On Down To My HouseCome On Down To My House. Everyone's gonna be there. Come On Down and bring your spouse. We'll have a party. Just bring your share. We'll sing and dance all through the night, and celebrate the rising Sun. Raise our hands through cool moon light. So come on. We'll have some fun. Come on down to my house, and show us how you can party. Come on down. We'll get you soused, and get you back laughin' hardy. Invite your friends. Come one; come all. Stay the night, and we'll greet the day. Life is short so let's have a ball. Say you'll come and you're on your way. Come On Down To My House. Everyone's gonna be there. Come On Down and bring your spouse. We'll have a party. Just bring your share. Invite your friends. Come one; come all. Celebrate the rising Sun. Life is short so let's have a ball. So come on. We'll have some fun.

A Nero complex , Bling & Samba.............what more could you ask for!
The entire gang sounds good.
I needed a little break from reality.
Thanks for a dose of fun.

Where can I get some of that unscented cologne..?
This a big-fun song, and very well done... I love it.

Perhaps the original mondegreen?
"Musick has Charms to sooth a savage Breast,
To soften Rocks, or bend a knotted Oak."
William Congreve, 1697
Nice riff on the idea/vibe of the Rosemary Clooney,Ross Bagdasarian and William Saroyan song "Come on-a My House".
It's a song for the times Marty...anxiety needs relief and this vibe, rhythm and exhortation offer that.
You've kept the bass just a little low I reckon - it sounds great but, bassist bias, I'd like it just a little louder.
Your vocals work well...I'm jealous.
Cheers

Haha. Thanks, Moto! Glad I could help. Where can I get some of that unscented cologne..?
This a big-fun song, and very well done... I love it. Haha. Right? I'm all for unscented perfume too. Thanks, bloc-head. Got a 60s vibe. Like a mix of America and Speedy Gonzales Haha. Yes, I invited Speedy, but he got hung up at the border. Thanks, Alexander! Perhaps the original mondegreen?

Ray, you always amaze me with your knowledge of music and music history. Yeah, I think I added so many tracks on top of that bass that it is pushed back. Hard to believe it was the bass that came up with this whole idea in the first place.

Lots of fun, and very clever. Nothing wrong with doing a feel good song during tough times in my book. Nice!

"The vocal had to be done by a guy in a leisure suit." When I read that, I knew this song would be a blast. What a great time. Excellent production smoothly incorporating all those elements. Loved it!!!
