I agree with floyd.
The mix of instruments creates a huge sound - perfect for the crowd-pleasing-drinking song.
You say "Maybe I stole the chorus melody from someone, who knows?"
But I don't think so at all.
This is your melody.
Your signature is in it.
Enjoyed my listen a lot.

Best regards.

Thanks Shigeki Adachi, I appreciate your kind feedback smile glad to hear you think it is my melody, I've been hoping it's original just like Paul McCartney's Yesterday smile

Janne, this is so creative, and I love the backstory...parts of this made me think that maybe I have sounded exactly like this (la-la, pub, pub..) the few times I got sloppy drunk in my youth...but I was never able to convert my drunken babblings into something creative, funny, artistic, memorable as this!!

Great idea converted into musical art!

Janne,

This was one of the most hypnotic musical rides I've ever been on. The ambience you created was outstanding. Words and phrases that came to mind as I listened were: inventive, creative, very skillful production, clever writing, Janne just keeps getting better and better, what a great journey.

This is definitely one to be proud of!

All the best,
Noel
