WE'RE RETIRING THIS ONE FROM THE CATALOG, SO NO MORE COMMENTS ARE NECESSARY. THANKS TO ALL WHO HAVE LEFT A FEW WORDS FOR US!Hi Everyone. We started this song a couple of years ago but have never got it "finished". We posted it on Soundclick back in 2012, but we've never been happy with it. We did it on a dare ...someone said something to the gist of "You guys do a great job on all that Jazz and Blues stuff, but I'll bet you can't write and perform a Euro-Rock piece!" Well, we're not ones to back down from a musical challenge!
Here's where we need help ... the chorus sounds to bare ...not enough something. It falls flat of excitement and "oomph"! We're relatively happy with the verses, but open to suggestions there, too. It's a work-in-progress, so all is on the table. It's not a genre we've ever approached before ... this is our first and only effort in this style. I'm thinking we probably need to leave it alone after this is as good as we can get it!
One more thing ... we attempted to add more to the short musical break but decided to leave it as is ... nothing really sounded right after half a day of sampling dozens of BIAB tracks. Thanks in advance!!!

(v1)
Way too much, is not enough
No such thing, as too much stuff
Give me more, of everything
Rodeo Drive for all my bling
(v2)
Too much this, too much that
Living large, living phat
Got a place in Malibu
Tennis court with an ocean view
CHORUS
Shop the net, shop the mall
Everything both big and small
I'm loving what money buys for me
Prada shoes, Gucci bag
Gotta Porsche, gotta Jag
Living in the lap of luxury
(v3)
Credit cards, of course they're gold
Cancun bound, when it gets cold
Love my place in gay Paree
Sand 'tween my toes at Waikiki
(v4)
Beauty Shop, every week
False eyelashes, long and sleek
Closet filled with Calvin Klein
Don't owe nobody yeah it's all mine
REPEAT CHORUS
INSTRUMENTAL VERSE
(v5)
Diamonds shine, on my hands
Nothing less, my taste demands
Spoiled rotten, you bet I am
I don't care I don't give a damn
REPEAT CHORUS x2
