I like quirky!

The guitar solos reminds me a bit of CCR.

Production sounds clean.

I like this a lot. The quirky factor really works - it's got great energy and really moves along and keeps the interest up.

Great ZZ Top groove going on this, Captain! Love the lyrics and your guitar breaks... some nice whistling too.
Well done.

Thanks,
BIAB helped with the bass and drums, then I played several guitar parts to keep it driving along.

That guitar riff throughout is excellent, your vocals are just fitting for this, guitar leads are suited to the genre.

Overall great sound and lyrics.

Thanks

Thanks Torrey,
Anytime I get a good review of my vocals, I take it to the bank, I really wish I could sing better.

Hi Captain,

'It's so easy to get depressed', but not with your song. Nice beat, funny band, strong lyrics and good vocals.
How many times did you have to record the whistling? It would have taken me hours, and only if I don't start to laugh.

But there is some good news according to your president! You may leave the house before the end of april. Let's hope he is right, otherwise we will hear a new song of you on this subject, agree?

Nice day at home,
Hans

Thanks Hans,
I didn't spend much time on vocals (ha ha probably shows) nor on the whistling.
Some months ago, I participated in a mixing contest on a song that included some whistling.
Ever since then, I've been wanting to incorporate that in a song.
Because I didn't spend much time on lyrics or vocals I thought...what the hell...I try a whistle.
Did it once, that was it!. I think it could have been better if I did a few takes.

Now about "my president":

I don't want to start a political debate however, I wish he wasn't "my president".
I don't trust a thing he says.
I don't like most of what he does.

CaptainM,

Creative piece of music! Got the right "raw" feel. Whistling was an extra cool touch. Thank you for sharing!

I've seen a lot of really interesting songs popping up lately having to do with this particular situation, and they've all been really neat.

Thanks for sharing.
