This song was perfect for me to hear right now. I sat at my computer for a few minutes to listen and I was curious by the title; and laughing thru the song. In my opinion, very well done.
Catchy. Upbeat. Fun. Funny. Rare in these times.
Thanks for something different than "the norm" of right now!
-C.Aaron Many thanks, much appreciated. If it raised a smile or two I'm more than happy. Cheers, ROG.

Hey Rog,
This is great! Very well done, and lots of fun too.
Loved everything about it, especially that dream sequence in the middle.
Nice! Hi Dave, Many thanks for looking in and for the review. Fun is in short supply these days, so glad you liked it. Cheers, ROG.

ROG,
fun and catchy. I am a big fan of ebay / re-use things philosophy, so this was spot on. Well arranged and performed. Enjoyed it much! Thank you for sharing.

Hi Misha, I'm a fan of ebay too, but I wish they wouldn't keep tempting me! Many thanks for the kind review. Cheers, ROG.

Hi ROG,
That was a funny song! Have you put in on ebay yet?
Your lyrics sound like you have a lot of experience with this auction place.
but fore your song: I liked it very much, good and funny harmonies and a nice tempo.
The video you made along with it was keeping you/me watching. Clever made!
Maybe you can make a song of this kind about Amazon?
Nice day,
Hans Hi Hans, Many thanks for the review - much appreciated. Yes, I'm a longtime ebay user - sometimes love it, sometimes hate it! Cheers, ROG.

Ya better watch out, EBay might be hitting you up for the rights to a new theme song... Hi Bawb, Thanks for the review and kind words - much appreciated. Cheers, ROG.

Hey ROG ...
Super coo; tune! Love the inflection of your vocal and those horns are stand-out great!
I actually have a book coming to me ... supposedly Friday, I bought on eBay. I have won bids and then wondered ... "what in the heck am I gonna do with that??!!"
Great song, delivery and video.I'll bid $10.00 on it!!!!
wishing you the very best. Please be safe ...
Alan Hi Alan, Good to hear from you - all the best to you and Di. Thanks for the kind review. Those horn RTs are so good - just like having a professional brass section at your disposal. I think a lot of us have "been there, done that" on ebay - will we ever learn! Pleased you enjoyed the song. Take care and stay safe. ROG.

Keep well and keep safe.

Ian Hi Ian, How's the lock-down going in the midlands? Not too many cases up here in North Yorks but still observing the rules. At least you can still do ebay whilst isolating! Many thanks for looking in - much appreciated. Stay safe, ROG.

ROG,
VERY well done. A solid write. Excellent backing.
Nice vocals and BGVs. The mix is excellent...so "smooth" and "cohesive"...
Catchy. A fun video, too.
A truly enjoyable listen.
fj Hi Floyd, Always pleased to see a review from you - much appreciated. Glad you liked it and many thanks for the listen. Thanks again, too, for the John Prine introduction. Cheers, ROG.

There are new “smooth jazz” styles (4), which include a RealTracks first: muted trumpet, as well as slick new smooth jazz brushes options for drums. Blues lovers will be thrilled—there are more “classic acoustic blues” styles, including guitar (5), bass (4), and drums (10) with blues master Colin Linden, featuring understated and tasty background acoustic soloing, plus brushes drums and acoustic bass. There are also new electric blues RealTracks, including electric blues with PG favorite Johnny Hiland (3) and soulful electric slide guitar from Colin Linden (4).

And for big, bold arrangements, we have uptempo soul horns (4) featuring a three-part hip horn section with options for a full mix or stems of each individual horn — plus an accompanying rhythm section (4) of drums, bass, guitar, and electric piano!
Rock & Pop (Sets 476–482):
Our new rock & pop RealTracks bring a powerful mix of requested favorites, fresh genres, and modern chart-inspired styles! We have more of our popular “Producer Layered Acoustic Guitars (15)” featuring Band-in-a-Box favorite Brent Mason. We’ve continued our much-requested disco styles (10), and added new Celtic guitar (5) with a more basic, accessible approach than our previous Drop-D or DADGAD offerings. There are also highly requested yacht rock styles (17), inspired by the smooth, polished soft-rock sound of the late ’70s and early ’80s — laid-back grooves, silky electric pianos, warm textures, elegant harmonic movement, and pristine production aesthetics. Fans of heavier styles will love our new glam metal (13), capturing the flashy, high-energy sound of ’80s arena-ready guitar rock. We also have a set of rootsy modern-folk rock (18), with a warm, organic sound combining contemporary folk textures and driving acoustic strumming. And we’ve added lots of new modern pop styles (16) — the kinds of sounds you’re hearing on the radio today, featuring exciting new drums, synths, and cutting-edge RealTracks arrangements.
Country, & Americana (Sets 483–488):
Our new country & Americana RealTracks deliver a rich collection of acoustic, electric, and roots-inspired styles! We have new country pop (9) with legendary guitarist Brent Mason. There is also a potpourri (14) of bouzouki, guitars, banjo, and more, perfect for adding texture and character to contemporary acoustic arrangements. We’ve added funky country guitar (5) with PG favorite Brent Mason, along with classic pedal steel styles (5) featuring steel great Doug Jernigan. There are more country songwriter styles (8) that provide intimate, rootsy foundations for storytelling and modern Americana writing. Finally, we have “background soloing” acoustic guitar (12) with Brent Mason — simpler, but still very tasty acoustic lines designed to sit beautifully behind vocals or act as a subtle standalone solo part.
Check out all the 202 new RealTracks (in sets 468-488)!
And, if you are looking for more, the 2026 49-PAK (for $49) includes an impressive collection of 20 bonus RealTracks, featuring exciting and inspiring additions to add to your RealTracks library.

There are also new indie-folk styles with guitar, bass, 6-string bass used as a high-chording instrument, acoustic guitar, and banjo. Plus, dedicated "cymbal fills" RealDrums provide an added layer that work very well with low-key folky styles with other percussion.
