Danny - think this would work with a singalong group?





One thing for sure the tune has many possibilities as the feedback suggest. Not that I think the present BPM is too fast as it works very well at this tempo, but maybe as Sam stated another slower version of the same song (showing it's versatility and legs) would also be interesting, personally I'd love to try one myself.

As for a "sing-a-long", hell yes, this could not only be a great sing-a-long but a "drinking" sing-a-long. I can just see some of my rowdy friends (though most have settled down) setting up a drinking game requiring everyone to do a shot when they hear "I've Been There, Done That". Many, many options with this one my friend.

later,

Hey Danny - loved that Hank Jr song!
I had actually thought of having two choruses at the end - the first with just handclapping (midi of course . . . not enough of me for live) on the 2nd and 4th beats, then full band in on the second chorus and short out.
I started to play around with a 100 bpm (Sam's thoughts) version but I'm having a hard time getting past the original bpm of 135 when I start to sing it. Too close to it I guess. That would be a heady experience to have people sing along to one of your songs, wouldn't it? (Sigh)

Thanks everyone for the positive feedback. Ian

Ian,

A lot has already been said. I like the tempo - you have done a heck of a job on this one. It would be nice to see what could happen with some RTs. There is just a lot that could be done with this one - but it's enjoyable the way it is. It is certainly one you find yourself singing along to - thanks for sharing.

Hi again Ian

Yes I was defining "clunky" as awkward, but this only applies to one or two lines!

I take your point entirely as to the use of "approximate rhyming". Many established and highly esteemed songwriters do this quite a bit.

I’ve always understood “bite the dust” to mean die, but perhaps that’s just my erroneous interpretation. I guess a part of the protagonist dies with each failed relationship. So fair enough!

Wish you the best of luck getting these songs out to a broader audience and marketing them.

I’d be interested to here how you get on with taxi.com.

Hey Marc
I'm sure if I am to get anywhere, there will be lyric rethinks/rewrites asked of me.

I don't mind passing along any experiences which can benefit anybody here. Taxi will be what I make it - it's got to be a job.
Again - thanks for the input.
