I don't say this lightly: you are a bona fide creative genius, sir. Made me smile, made me laugh, made me listen ... there's a moral in there, too, if only I could find it ;-) Bravo!!! You light up this forum with your unique, sometimes unconventional, always brilliant - no matter what - creations.

FUN pretty much sums it up.

Well, perhaps Creative Fun would be a bit better.

It was even more enjoyable for some one like me (Bud)
who waits very long times for the song truck to appear
and dump a few on me. (metaphor from Tommyad.)

The bridge got Janice doo-wopping away smile

Great bass and vocal performances and an excellent band.

Cool vid to show it all off especially the lyric.

Great idea for a lyric, got a big smile from me. Song had a good groove and the vocal was solid. Excellent work!

Hi Marty,

Fabulous!

First it had me smiling, then it had me dancing.

What can I say - it was faultless.

Loved the whole thing, but especially the vocals.

Hi Marty,

I also enjoyed listening to your song. A real story telling tune for sure, albeit an amusing one. The vocals sounded great also and the band choice was definitely right on. I enjoyed the video until the guy in the skull face popped up...Yikes!
Thanks for posting, I enjoyed the watch/listen!

Hi Marty,

A very funny story or lyrics in a entertaining song. I haven't seen it on YouTube (I will, after this post) but it has a joyfull sphere as most of your songs. I'm sure in your video that will all be underlined! Except for a skull that will appear according to Bawb in the post above mine.

I enjoyed it very much,
Hans

Hello Marty,

In adition to my previous post, I watched your video. Great! And no 'yikes' skull, but some Mexican I presume, celebrating 'el dia del muerto'.

Funny lyrics, I like how the story is built around the songwriting theme.
Catchy chorus.
Excellent vocals, so much energy and dynamic, also doowops are nice smile
Nice live feeling, although I was more concentrating on lyrics and vocals that I forgot to pay attention to the band. The bassline is cool,of course.
I would have liked to hear spoken "baby one more time" before the last chorus, maybe together with a short drum solo wink
