No offence to anyone who lives in Alabama. This is a joke song for my comedy cd for boaters. I know there have been several on this Margaritaville song but here's my take. What to you think? I'm looking for something better for the first lines but can't think of a rhyme for the 2nd half of the line- For example I'd like something like this-
Living on corn bread-------------------- (admirin' my new shed?, maybe I'm brain dead?,
Alabamaville-(Margaritaville parody)-by Eddy B
Livin' on welfare, waitin' on healthcare, cleanin' my shotgun with 3 in 1 oil Blowin' some smoke rings, on my front porch swing Smell those hot dogs beginning to boil
Chorus- Wastin' away again here in Alabamaville, reachin' for my last pitcher of malt Some people say that there's a woman to blame, I'll I know, It's always my fault
I don't know the reason, I ain't changed all season Nothin' to show but a skid mark or two But it's a real beauty, a real tutie fruitie How it got there I haven't a clue
Chorus-
My life is a big flop, got fired from the IHOP Got a raw deal so I cruised on back home I busted my fender, in a rear-ender I got Jack Daniels to help me hang on.
Chorus-
Last line- Some people say that there's a woman to blame All I know, I got charged with assault

Thanks MT I had thought of something along that line
It would need something other than "OUTSIDE" how about "fixing" my tool shed or something else. Anyone? That should do it for this tune.

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!
If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.
A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."
"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."
"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
