This is intended to be light-hearted, including the slightly diversionary title. It's a statement about...getting to be a certain age. I hope you enjoy it.

The song was generated entirely from _REGGAS1.STY; I just added vocals and a few drum hits. My DAW is Reaper. Have fun!

So much fun! Funny idea, and funny lines. "Colonoscopay" (sounding like a pretentious rock pronunciation) made me lol. The band works. Thanks.

This is really funny, could have never thought making a song about this subject laugh Great clear vocals and I like the whistling too. Reminds me of classic Monty Python songs.

'Buttrey'...

I'm sure the name you use on this forum has no relation to the subject of your song smile laugh crazy blush.

You so funny, you could make money laugh.

The lyrics are some of the most cleverly composed word arrangements I've ever heard on the forum.

I guess we can look forward to you providing a welcome bit of levity in the forum as we listen to songs of romantic disappointments, existential crises, and general musings on life's toils and troubles, eh?

Two thumbs and eight fingers 'up' on this one !!! grin

Love it. Your very clever lyric and delivery gave me a big smile, not something I usually associate with a colonoscopy (I too have had a few). Governments could absolutely use this in health awareness campaigns.

Hi Buttrey (do you change your forum name with every new subject?),

this is just hilarious. Haven't heard something as funny as that for a very long time. And it spoiled my day at the same time, because it remindes me that I'm overdue, long overdue for this 'fun' (in German often called "The Big Harbour Tour").

More, more, I'm still not satisfied (Tom Lehrer 'Smut', 1965)

Take care,

Stefan

Hello Buttrey ...

Funny as heck! I'll be 73 pretty soon, so I can empathize with this. Uh ... nice whistling, BTW. Many years ago, I wrote a son g about getting old. Maybe I'll put a little spit and polish on it and run it through BIAB. Enjoyed my listen a lot! Best to you ...
