Is this a melody that's already been used? It's pretty simple and formulaic. I did just hit YouTube for 'Secret Agent Man' and while orchestration is similar, I don't think I inadvertently ripped off that particular melody.

I should have put in some whip cracking sounds for accents to give it the cowboy legitimacy!

Believe it or not, I was going for a vibe of Radiohead's new song, "these are my twisted words" https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F2ztWvuyXeU

But I got sidetracked and realized I couldn't fit it into a minute - the vibe that Radiohead developed in their tune. Their thing gets interesting for me at about the 1:35 minute mark. Then there is a simple guitar riff that repeats over and over in the left channel that drives the rhythm in a compelling way - almost as if the drum track didn't exist but is there as a little decoration. By the end of the song, that riff migrates to the right channel and there is some ambient kind of trip-out stuff going on in the left channel. Lots of playing with delay and reverb. I dig that immensely.

I don't necessarily like how the guy sings, but it seems to fit with their glitchy space rock kind of vibe they have in some of their songs. For those of you that are older, you might actually like them if you were into some psychadelica type stuff in the 60's. It's not the same, but try it, you might like it.
