Floyd.
As a writer of gloomy, sombre songs I still can appreciate well produced happy ones.
Thumbs up from me.

It does the job, Floyd, of putting feel-good into love. Some songs, like this one, are simple and sing-able while putting a smile on the listener's face. Good co-write to be sure.

BD - It never occurred to me that this would sound that "old". It was the kind of thing that would pop up regularly in Country music from the late '70's through the 90's
A couple of examples? Elvira - The Oak Ridge Boys - 1981 or Achy Breaky Heart - Billy Ray Cyrus - 1992
The second one sounds more modern to me, but Elvira (which I probably would have put in the late 50s/early 60s as well) does sound like your song, so of course you're right.
I guess it's a cultural thing. Unless you pick a specific country station, you usually don't hear any country stuff on the radio in my neck of the woods, except for a few old things here and there when someone has died.

Darn catchy tune. It has the right dose of cliches to make this a big hit.

Production and band sound ace. The BGVs sit just right in the mix for me and sound rich. Hats off to the Janettes!

I never intended to imply that this was contemporary (did I do that?). But, I do think it's "fun". Thanks for listening.

Thanks, ray. I thought you might have something to say about the bass. I don't "know" bass and I struggle with getting it "right". It often gets away from me. I experiment more than I should.

I think it sounds great - your vocal with Janice, as always, sounds awesome. Production is stellar.

No cringe here - I enjoyed this immensely.

As always you and Janice sound great together.
Enjoyed the production notes.

Sometimes I get the feeling, that the moment when you try to apologize for a song or a lyric snippet is exactly the moment to realize, that you have created a really remarkable piece of music ... wink

I really like your song. It's catchy, fun and positive smile

I don't this is stupid love song.
I think the lyrics on spot on and reflects life.
Loved this one Floyd.

Probably outdated from a contemporary perspective, but it’s still catchy as hell . . . and I can see why you pitched it and why it had some interest. Amazing what a little stupid love song can do!

Good tune, well executed!


My best regards,

Deej

Much appreciated, Deej

Oh no!


This world will never get enough of stupid love songs!

Oh no!

Or Christmas Toys!
Or guys named Floyd!!


Man, that was both the best and most stupid song I have ever heard.

Great job!!!

smile

I do hope this will be on SoundCloud soon. Looking forward to it!!

From beginning to end, my feet were tapping up and down, relentlessly. It was quite a podiatric workout.
I love songs that you open with a chorus. They're not all that common, but they immediately get the listener into the meaty part of the story telling.
This is a winner. Your and Janices vocals sit so well together!
Kudos to you and your two colleagues for creating a fine song.

All the best!

And, as Ron said, it's a real toe tapper. I enjoyed the listen.
And I think the line "you came along took what was wrong and made it right" is pretty cool!

I love your vocals, I love the Janettes, and thanks for the interesting story behind the resurrection of this song smile[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]

Very good song - a real toe tapper with an excellent chorus.

Well done

FJ,
"You cannot help but think "...it took THREE songwriters to write THAT?!?"
LOL just from reading this! Ok, got to get to my "listening" mode.

FJ and Crew,
Fun, optimistic, easy listening tune. Well (re) arranged and recorded. Solid vocals and Janice is a perfect choice for song partner. Interesting back story and tech walkthrough. Good one, no pun intended. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

P.S. I have some tunes from ~25 years back, I am afraid to touch them, so thumbs up for bravery and skill in resurrecting this.

I would have loved to have been writing at the time I lived there. I think it was 1991. This is another one of many of yours that deserved to be cut by someone. I liked it, Tom

Thanks, Tom. It's a fun song, I've enjoyed reviving it.
1991 - that was the PERFECT time to be writing in Nashville. The beginning of what would be the best (and last) "Golden Age of Songwriting".
A shame you didn't stay. You've got all the right chops.
And we would have likely met, then....

Yep, the song is also wonderful. It says it all --in all the ways. Terrific harmony from Mrs. Wonderful. Hats off to Danny for curating all the catchy stuff. Man, it only took three of ya to write that? Seriously folks, it IS quite catchy and hooky --not hokey at all. Hats off to the 4 of you.

Know what you mean about "sort of" separating the stems. Man, I saw the making of The Beatles new one, Now And Then, and the quality of separation of vocal from piano from John's old cassette is amazing. There is hope for the future.

Appreciated, Marty...
