I'm working on a humorous cover of 'Cocaine'. I have a couple of lines but now I'm stuck. Brain lock. I wonder if some of you good, creative, folk could throw out some hair loss related one liners? Get my brain working again (if that's possible).

Here's a couple if lines I thought of.


If your scalp's shining through, and your wife won't do you; Rogaine.
If your head's getting slick, and you can't get a chick; Rogaine.



Any ideas are appreciated.

Paul

I hope you don't mind me re-purposing your "scalp" rhyme:

Really needing help with that thinning on your scalp?
Combover like Mr. Trump got you feeling in the dump?
Are the last few of your follicles somehow thinning into molecules?
Wishin' that your karetin would appear up there again?
Concerned you'll fail in that enthralled kiss because of male pattern baldness?
Androgenic alopecia giving you Encephalomalacia?

With that last one, I better stop already... Thanks goodness for on-line rhyming dictionaries!

(Looks like the "follicles/molecules" has been done many times before).

That site really removed the mental block. Thanks. 'course I don't mind reading some other one liners. Maybe something better than what I have already will show up.

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

David,

I think you may have forgotten the lyrics and melody of "Cocaine", by Eric Clapton.

Substitute "Rogaine" for "Cocaine".

Your lyrics don't work.

Try something like:

"If your beanie is bald and you're ... far short from tall, ... Rogaine!
If the oil on your scalp, ... can fry a baby cow, ... Rogaine".

Etc, LOL.

If the shine on your dome, ... reminds you of Chrome,... Rogaine.

Where you used to have hair, ... it's now getting quite bare, ... Rogaine
What was your crowning glory, ... now is looking quite gory, ... Rogaine

there's a comedian on youtube who does a bunch of remakes of songs with revised lyrics that are more significant to aging baby boomers

one of them is about rogaine. I searched briefly but didn't find it, and I have to go to work. if you want to look for it, Keywords might be

rogaine
songs for old boomers
standup comedy

the whole routine is quite clever... he parodies more songs than just Cocaine

That wasn't my intention. I hate it when I make a comment that was unclear. I mean't your suggestions and link broke my mental block and I was able to come up with some lines that will work. However, they aren't perfect and maybe some additional ideas will trigger some improvement. Sorry if I gave the wrong impression. I really was grateful to you for getting me over the brain freeze.

I'm sure it's been done many times. This is just me trying to have some fun. The 2012 version of BiaB finally gave me the tools to try something like this. I don't have a particularly good voice but with a little compression and EQ I can sound a bit better than fingernails on a blackboard. lol

Good one Kevin.

To everyone who posted, thanks. I knew I could count on this community to post some ideas that would break my brain lock.

If you got a bald patch, you wanna regrow the thatch; Rogaine

No offense taken, thanks! I was just kidding around about it - I know that wasn't what you intended.

Glad you got over the block!
