I kind of hesitate to post this. The Song A Week Challenge was "write a reggae song." Not my strong suit. Also, I had three hours one day to work on music, then a reggae song was due.

So I took the lyrics from a bawdy old bar song I wrote a loooong time ago (which did in fact used to get 'em going at a bar full of drunks at the end of the night). Modified the lyrics to be a little "reggae." Fired up BIAB, picked about the first "reggae" style I could find, keyed in the very simple chord changes, and voila ... this "reggae" version of "You Show Me Yours."

On the one hand, a cheap song with stupid lyrics and the simplest possible chord progression. On the other hand, a testament to what you can do with BIAB in a time crunch ... this whole project start to finish took about three hours. Thought I'd go ahead and share it for giggles and because I won't have the new real song I'm working on ready for a while.

"You Show Me Yours"

Hey, hey, let’s go outside
Your turn to seek, my turn to hide
Climb up the ladder, come down on my slide
Give me a ring, I give you a ride
Me pretty sure we have a pretty good time
You show me yours, me show you mine

Mama calling, long after dark
She find us crawling off to the park
Takin turns on the merry go round
You teeter up, I’ll teeter down
Me pretty sure we have a pretty good time
You show me yours, me show you mine

Talking about toys
Barbie dolls and GI Joes
Me can’t help it if you got a dirty mind
You show me yours, me show you mine

Papa thinks you asleep in bed
You window locked, him kissed your pretty head
But I been shakin on the window pane
We sneaking off to the park again
Me pretty sure we have a pretty good time
You show me yours, me show you mine
You show me yours, me show you mine
You show my yours, me show you mine

A cute song. A good mix. Not bad for a first reggae effort...

Rob,
Fun song - I can see why a bar crowd would enjoy the lyrics- and you deliver them with a nice reggae-tinged vocal.
I like to hear people`s backpages -it fills out the musical picture
of influences.
Enjoyed!
