Party On The Porky Island
Summer is coming, or has already arrived somewhere, so it is time to open the barbecue season. Hopefully you can find the right mood with this reggae song  BIAB provides excellent realtracks also for reggae. This is yet another collaboration with Miira, we have written the lyrics together. Music and arrangement is by me and Miira is taking care of the vocals. And to whet your appetite, there is also a video available. This is actually the second part of our Till Meat Do Us Part trilogy, the first song was the title track. RealDrums: Reggae sidestick Loop: gangsta_beat_95b_drum_ev16 RealTracks: Electric Bass #1191 Acoustic Piano #1160 Electric Piano #907 Acoustic Guitar #2515, #2678 Electric Guitar #1158 Sax Tenor #1062 Ukulele (double time) #1142 Vocals: Miira Mixed in Adobe Audition 2017 Lyrics: Party On The Porky Island Sun, the friendly host shining on the giant roast chicken drumstick in your hand enjoy the beat of the band party on the porky island. Gushing plate for lunch oozing grease from the grill glass is full of punch belly asking for refill I'm in trance I'm in love with this meaty romance at the party on the porky island. Waves, the foamy dream cherries on the ice cream people joining in this fat feast they loosen their belts, lusts released party on the porky island. [Chorus] Join the party, celebrate it doesn't matter how much you have overweight barbecue, roast and stew come, come, have some rum drink, eat, have fun, and shake your bum. Sea, the salty taste sweat drops on the growing waist pancakes on the frying pan now eat as much as you can party on the porky island. [Chorus] -------- Janne

We watched the video and really enjoyed it! We agree with Scott about the vocal having hints of ABBA. This very nicely done. Good lyric, vocal performance and mixing. Sweet!

OK, a random thought;
Why does toilet paper need a commercial? Who's not buying it?
64 bit Win 10 Pro, the latest BiaB/RB, Roland Octa-Capture audio interface, a ton of software/hardware

Hi Janne, A very refreshing summer song! But... Rob didn't like the video all that much, being a very convinced vegetarian  But all in all... very nicely done. Rob and Anne-Marie
