https://soundcloud.com/user-61562267/[*****]-or-get-off-the-pot?si=fe6ac8aa9c4e4c18af48cf09b59e9ee1&utm_source=clipboard&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=social_sharing Here's an original 1940s style jazz song with vocals by Joan Elise. All instruments are BIAB. [*****] or Get Off the Pot I’ve hung around about as long as I can, You gotta let me know if I’m in your plans. You got it good, you don’t know what you got, So [*****] or Get Off the Pot. We’re together so long, people startin’ to talk, Stop draggin’ your feet, and start walkin’ the walk. Are you sincere, or are you not? Then [*****] or Get Off the Pot. I’ve been waitin’, you’re hesitatin’, you’re drivin’ me out of my mind, I wanna know, why don’t you show, that you’re the marryin’ kind? We gotta talk and I’m not gonna lie, You’re wastin’ time and life is passin’ me by. Am I the one, or am I not? Just [*****] or Get Off the Pot. [Instrumental break] I wanna know if your intentions are good, It’s time to get a ring and do what you should. Got other men waitin’, believe it or not, So [*****] or Get Off the Pot (I really mean it) [*****] or Get Off the Pot.

This is certainly a musical throwback from another era which I like. It's good to keep the past alive.
I wouldn't have known that BiaB had this style and the trumpet/trombone solo was spot on.
And Joan did great on the vocals.
Good job.

Thanks so much for listening, and the kind words, I really appreciate it!
I heard a co-worker in Linden, NJ, USA use the the title phrase back around 1980, and it stuck with me, so I'm happy I was able use it in a song. I imagined Ella Fitzgerald singing it when I wrote it, so a jazz or Dixieland style seemed appropriate.

Aah, finally someone who gets into the same trouble I did by posting a link to a song with a censored title.
I feel for you!
Your song is a nice trip back in time to the 40s (no idea if that's the music my grandparents listened to when they were young, but I think so).
I think you did it very well, and for obvious reasons I really like your lyrics.
A good and funny song!

Wow, super job! Very old sounding, in a good way. I can almost hear the (nonexistent) grooves crackling at 78 RPM. BiaB has a TON of really nice jazz tracks, and you've put them to great use here. Joan's vocals are perfect, and like the very authentic-to-the-era EQ, too. Just wonderful.

Thanks for listening, Ron!
We all put a lot of work into our songs, so it's great to get a few listens, and positive feedback makes my day!

Thanks for the kind words, B.D.! It's nice that we can express ourselves any way we want to, without having to worry about radio airplay - because it's unlikely we'll get it anyway

Bob, you captured that era perfectly.
Very clever lyrics.
Great vocal.
This is really good.

Man, this is so good, Bob. Love the style, and yes, I could hear Ella -- but Joan did a outstanding job. You really did an amazing job recreating this wonderful vintage sound and feel, and Joan fit in so well. Cool write, and those solos are fabulous. Would like to hear a Cheech and Chong rendition where the pot IS the good s---. Haha. Clever write and good production.

Thanks for the listen and positive feedback, Marty!
It's fun to write songs with "swing" - and BIAB has a lot of good styles for that kind of music.

We've listened to the Louis and Ella periods of music for decades so it was easy to fall into this vibe.
Cool sassy vocals and an ace all BiaB session group. The horn solos were standout as was the mix.
Enjoyed it,
J&B

Certainly sounds from the era. Great choice of instrumentation for the mix.
Some favourite Waoist Adages:
#1: Play on the Way.
#13: Ask not for whom the flower blooms, it blooms for you.
#58: Bring consciousness to it.
#63: On the road to effortlessness, effort must be made.
#92: Be Love Now, the rest will come on its own.

Hello Bob and Joan,
You really know how to make the 40's come alive!
My father would have loved hearing it. He always played this style.
Joan has a fantastic voice. A bit sharp, but pleasant.
I enjoyed it very much.
The man on that pot certainly knew what to do.
Otherwise he would be in big trouble...
And you also showed me that BiaB has more possibilities than I knew.
Nice work!
Hans

Thanks for the kind words, Hans!
Yes, Joan's vocal helped bring the song to life. I found her on the website Fiverr dot com, posting under the name Jo Elle.
Glad you enjoyed the song!
