Loved the guitar effects on this Janne. Super vocal and backtrack. Well done Thanks Scott, I appreciate your positive words  The guitar effect is already in the original RT, sounds great right out of the (band-in-a-)Box  Janne

Two words come to mind: FUN and CLEVER Your vocals and the talkbox guitar nailed the fun vibe. The mix is excellent...great soundstage on the monitors. Regarding that BiaB wish you have ... well, we already have Moderna vax RNA crawling around our brains so we might as well have a chord creator also  Enjoyed it! J&B Thanks Janice and Bud for your kind and fun comment  I'll be the first in line to get that PGMusic's vaccination, hopefully it still allows me to use dissonant chords  Janne

A very good one! I had to read the lyrics a couple of times and then the dime dropped. Very funny story, in spite of the experience with Margarita...
The rhythmic section is very good and sounds bright and addictive. And you made good use of that swampy vocal box.
also, as misha and Ray wrote; the vocals are much brighter than in yur previous songs. Although they were very nice too.
Cheers, Hans Thanks Hans, I appreciate your pleasant analysis of my song Janne

You have some of the most clever mixes around... Great song - love the tracks and the creative way you used that loop.
Nicely done!
Bob Thanks Bob for your very kind comment  Glad you liked the use of the loop, I needed something like drumming the table and the cajon loops were close enough. Luckily, BIAB has many possibilities for the arrangement. Janne

excellent job building that backtrack! The drums sound extra good on this (I've used that same set myself before). Overall sound is great. The chord structure and melody are super! Great job! Thanks, Torrey Thanks Torrey for your heartwarming comment  Nice to hear that you liked the chord progression. BIAB has excellent set of drums to choose from. Janne

Great fun, Janne. Reminded me a little of Ian Dury and the Blockheads in its humour and rythmic invention. Regards, Leon

Hi Janne,
That is a really good and interesting song that kept my interest from start to finish! Job well done!
Am I wrong if I am saying that you started to experiment more with your compositions during the last few years?

Will Thanks Will for your positive comment  I think it is the other way around, I'm experimenting less when getting older, using more ready made styles and making safe choices. But maybe it doesn't show up yet, because I have lots of old unfinished song ideas which I'm showcasing when finished  I started this song more than two years ago... Janne
