Great clarity! Cool lyric theme. I would like the vocal just a tad hotter.
And it ended way too soon! Cool vibe!

Floyd,
Fantastic live sound to the band and great lyrics - love that second verse!
Listening to your vocals & quality of production is an education in itself.
Robert Appreciate that, Robert...
A great sound, very addictive.
Super instruments used.
Sergio
Thanks, Sergio... Just a joy to listen to, loved the energy, loved the piano solo!
Loved all the alliteration! loved the story about the song, loved that you put yerself (at least yer name) in the song. Loved that drum intro, there is a lot to like about this one.
Kenny Thanks, Kenny - and thanks for mentioning the alliteration... hey! I like your new avatar!!

Definitely lots of energy in this!
Professional from start to finish.
Rob Thanks, Rob... Floyd
Great set of lyrics really enjoyable.
Infectious song - (really liked the piano solo) top flight band & vocal.
Excellent work all round. Appreciate it, Peter... My Alma Mater also!
Great vibe, super vocal, fantastic lyrics and harmonies.
This is a keeper. LOL... we might need to have a class reunion!!!

Now that's a dancing tune, very well put together. Lyrics and band top notch as always.
Steve Thanks, Steve. Great to see ya drop by...
Floyd,
How on earth do you manage to get a honky tonk piano to sound like Jerry Lee Lewis had come to session for you
Great song, great storyline, huge fun. You can hear in every note that you were really enjoying singing this one.
Paddy G
Thanks, Paddy... The BIAB pianos are getting better all the time...

Great high energy tune. This is a good write. Enjoyed my listen. Thanks for the listen, Charlie... Very well done! Great lyrics and nice mix. Paul, thanks - appreciate you stopping by for a spin.. Hi Floyd,
very energetic and a real toe tapper.
Great lyrics again. Very imaginative.
Production and delivery outstanding as always.
In a nutshell: a typical Floyd manufacture.
Thanks a lot for the background story.
Guenter
Always look forward to your comments, Guenter... thanks...

saturday nights it's social studies
your history comes back to haunt you
you think you've got some chemistry going with the waitress
statistics say she won't want you
Just one of my favorite parts of an extremely fun and clever lyric!! Floyd, I don't know how, after hearing dozens of your songs, I can come away feeling even more impressed than I was anticipating. This is really, really sharply written and performed. Another gem!! And the drums have a kick-[*****] sound. Great stuff AGAIN!! Take care. Greg Greg - thanks for that nice review.... Very cool.... what a fun song. Thanks, Herb... Floyd,
This is really, really fun! Thank you, David.... really, really...

floyd, My all-time favorite writers' night was Thurday nights at Douglas Corner Cafe.
They had a chart band ("The First Take Band"). Studio guys. Nashville Number charts.
If you were good at writing charts, you could get (hear) exactly what you wanted from the band.
The Nashville Number system is fairly simple to learn - and provides for all the band dynamics in very simple notation. It's quite cool...
Sort of like BIAB, but with live players, first take... Wish we in Wales had a scene like that especially when it produces songs like this. What can I say about this song? hmm it's all right like  It's just floyd being floyd, top notch every time. A good few listens were needed Thanks for sharing Alyn

Fred Gee...thanks Fred... it's a long sordid journey... Floyd, Great groove! Everything is tight and crisp - a new favorite. Bob Appreciate it, Bob... Very nice fj. Tight as a Scotsman's purse!

Bob Thanks ya, Robert... Great clarity! Cool lyric theme. I would like the vocal just a tad hotter.
And it ended way too soon! Cool vibe! Thanks, Lawrence... I had thought a times that the vocal might be a tad low...but then as I continued to listen, it seemed the right level...so I left it...

We listened and I got Janice to hand me a title on a napkin...but the next morning I didn't write a great song. What's wrong?
"saturday nights it's social studies

statistics say she won't want you
do a little math, figure up your tab
the wheels of knowledge just keep turning
hanging out here in the hallowed halls
of the honky tonk of higher learning"
Sheeesh man, many good writers could spend days just coming up with the above.
This thing rocks -- in the honky tonk way of course. Immediate images of a damn good band on stage with the crowd dancing and shouting to the rafters. Makes we wanna pour another one just typing this.
Super talent + BiaB = one heckuva production.
The vocals and the piano put it way over the top!

Now this had to be a fun write! Would've loved to have been a fly on the wall that day and heard all the out takes. LOL!
Well sung, relatable and the great arrangement kept my feet tapping.
