Hi, Fred !:))
I take it this is what
happens after one or two
too many bottles of "delirium tremens" (chuckle) !
Seriously speaking this is just
hilarious and at the same time
superbly done on all fronts !:))
I like your vocals and vocal harmonies
most ! Just great Fred !
Cheers
Dani

floyd Floyd, Thank you for listening and opening the comments! You're absolutely right, the drums drowned in the pool of sound. They seemed OK yesterday in the headphones, I guess I should always check through live speakers. Thanks for the remark, The remixed version is online :-) Take care, Fred

Hi Fred.
"You know the feeling when the café/pub/bar closes and you don't feel like leaving the place?"
I know that feeling VERY well. My husband and I are always the first to arrive at a party and the last to leave. It has become a standing joke.
Such a great tune. Good job

Wow! I know that took a lot of work.
It's one of the most effective straight
out rockers I've heard here. Really
cool vocals and lyric. Absolutely
a great arrangement and mix. It sounds
very good on my KRK's.
Love that ending!!

Thanks Dani In fact the idea of the song was born late at night in the café after quite a few Duvels I know its only Rock'n Roll but ... Well that was a lot of fun! You should 've been here when I made it, had plenty of laughs Hi Fred.

Hi Fred, you had me at the drum intro! And the repetition of the title throughout the song makes for a VERY catchy "get stuck in your head" kind of groove. But I have to admit, there were moments when I started to fear that two lines in I had already heard all of the lyrics. Glad it didn't turn out that way. It worked very well! I also really like the energy you managed to infuse into the song, and the live feel you introduced through the callouts and your selection of real tracks I'm not as enthusiastic about the ending as everybody else seems to be. It's creative and different (which I like) but it also seems unnecessary and anticlimactic to me. But go with the majority on this one. I think the song is an extrovert's anthem, and I'm very much an introvert who is ready to leave long before the party's over. So it makes sense that being pulled back in the door by a faux ending would leave me feeling caught as I tried to sneak out early. All in all I liked it very much, especially the energy and ear worm.
