You're My Cougar




Monday morning, on the bus alone
Watching you waiting there in the snow and sleet
You come down the aisle, see me, and you smile
But you stop at the top, I drop.


Ten o’clock math class.
Teacher calls on me
Explain please to the class the quadratic equation
A squared b squared you and me squared
You turn red, laughter spread, I’m dead.

Lunchtime, table, leave a place for you
But you pass me by, sitting with your friends
I wonder what you’re saying
Is it something of interest to me?
You turn, eyes spurn, I burn

Afternoon civics class, vote class president.
You’re not running, but still I I vote for you.
They stare, you glare, I don’t care.
I vote my conscience.

Three o’clock on the bus, by myself again
You climb, walking slow, eyes down to the floor
But you’re near me then you sit and smile
You touch my cheek, hold my hand,
And you say, “You’re my Cougar.”


File:You're My Cougar.SGU
Key=Eb , Tempo 120, Length (m:s)=4:04
No intro. 119 bar chorus, from bar 1 to bar 119. Repeat x1 chorus
Song is saved with Volume, Pan, Reverb, Chorus, Bank0, but instruments are panned in Audacity. And vocal (following Jim Jolge) is in triplicate, with one panned left, one right, both at low volume.
Song is saved with bar changes for Harmony,Volume Changes,RealDrums Changes,
Style is -MICHEL1.STY (Michel 1 - Slow Pop Orchestral)
Style MIDI Instruments are : Acoustic String Bass (33), 49/1 Strings and Brass, GM2 Bank 1, Slow Strings (50),

Reverb (the purpose of this experiment, thanks Floyd Jane and Guitarhacker) was done in Audacity, using the Long Vocal Room by Oliver Momm in Eventide’s Stereo Room 2016. I think it makes the piano muddy, but I don’t know what to do about that (yet).

Sounds like a bygone classic from an old movie
with some clever lyrics and words and terms
seldom heard in love songs.

Enjoyed the heck out of it

Marty,

As Kenny said this sounds like its from an old movie - the lyrics are funny and cool and read like a script.
I enjoyed watching the scene play in my mind!

Nice clever set of lyrics, and nice jazz inflected backing. As noted has a movie soundtrack feel.

Just an example of some really clever, interesting writing!! You have a certain touch which makes me think of the classic writers of yesteryear. A lot to like here! Take care. Greg

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."
