Wow!
That was a lot of fun.
This is one of those tunes that we just want to sit back and listen again rather than trying to parse it all out.
Why? Because it's all good ... every aspect of the production.
Oh, and also because of the great reviews already received we can only be redundant.
We much enjoyed it from the get go to the ambiguous ending.
Y'all and that those BiaB Wrecking Crew session guys make a great team!
J&B
PS Ok, we'll add that there are enough great rhymes in it for multiple songs.
Our albums and singles are on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube Music, Pandora and more. If interested search on Janice Merritt. Thanks! Our Videos

Well, that was fun story with a great punchline!! I'm sure she had a big bite  That laboratory "zoo" is vividly painted and the rhyming works frighteningly well. Excellent band selection, the main guitar sounds great. And the mix is powerful, I feel like turning the knob to eleven, but I don't want to scare my neighbors Enjoyed the chord progression, some Beatles feel. Great vocals and harmonies as usual. Many nice tricks, but luckily they were real treats  Janne

Hi Ron Sorry I'm late to this party. First thing I noticed was the cool driving guitar and then I was struck by the wonderful melody. Then I drilled down and studied the lyrics. Wow what imagination! Either that or Mssrs Davis is fond of a little devil's lettuce. I'm trying to say that the lyrics are fantastic. I always stop off at Waikiki when visiting the States so I'm gonna be wary next trip of all those nasty werewolves, zombies, vampires, two-headed dragons, giant grasshoppers, wicked witch, ugly ogre, poker playing dogs, hungry blob, evil angel, King Kong at war with Godzilla......Yikes!! ...... I hope this is fake news. Should the embassy be informed?  I loved this Ron. It was a great way to spend three minutes.

Izzy, THANKS for the nice review! I also love these lyrics, and would agree the lyricist has a wonderfully unsettling imagination. Hope the tune hasn't ruined your image of Waikiki. It really is paradise despite all the frightful fun in these lyrics. Aloha!

Hi, Ron. What's left to say? Fun to listen to, well put together. My daughter walked by and said it would work for "Scooby Doo".  It’s not that King Kong is just a big gorilla
Or that he’s evenly matched fighting GodzillaReally well done!

As others have written, “clever” really is the best way to describe your song. Amazing lyrics, amazing performance from all involved and presented by a really good production. There's nothing not to like ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif)
