Someone here compared something of mine to the Cars, that had never occurred to me. This song definitely has Cars influence, it just seemed appropriate both in the synth track and the vocal. This was originally written for a friend who had a rockabilly band, as a funny, kickass live number. I think it translates well with a Cars/ZZ Top feel. The BIB tracks are augmented with a slide guitar from RB and synth overdub. Is there a Song Memo file in RealBand?

TEMPERATURE

Mmmmm when you touch me, it means so much to me
I feel the heat start to rise, rise
Words I want to hear, burning in my ear
there's a flame inside, and I realize

Now you get me started, made my motor run
and you tell me that you've just begun

It's so intoxicating, I'm hyperventilating
check my temperature, check my temperature

Steaming like a radiator, I need a respirator
check my temperature, check my temperature

Now you hold me, and enfold me
I start to glow like a spark from a fire
No one around, to hear a sound
Hold me tight and the flame grows higher

She's a dynamo, a human wonder
When she makes love to me,the sound of thunder
: .
I should be cool to Her, I'm such a fool for her
check my temperature, check my temperature
feeling hotter now , thought I'd forgotten how
check my temperature, check my temperature

How she steals me, has a feel for me
No one Should know, I don't let it show
I try to hide, she glows inside
burning deep, won't let me sleep

I never thought that I would be taken
Now I hope I don't awaken

The things she said still in my head
check my temperature, check my temperature
You think she's hot, you hit the spot
check my temperature, check my temperature

Broke down the door, got me on the floor
check my temperature, check my temperature
If I don't get some slack, have a heart attack
check my temperature, check my temperature

I'm thinking cars where the lyrics are concerned, but the slide guitar screams Jackson Browne's RUNNING ON EMPTY

But after mixing familiar sounds together, You definitely have your own sound! Keep 'em coming!

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

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

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."
