Howdy Babu.....

Even though your description above is correct there's a clever element to this write also.
Must have have been fun to put together and get recorded without too much seriousness in the lyrical arena. smile

That sounded like a very good party

Super groove

I really liked the vocals and the background effects, this sounded like a live band

I needed a song like this, I just finished watching some news

This was a very fun listen - loved it

Hi Marty,

Well you needed a party for sure!
The funny thing is I made a song that sounds very Latin and also had fun in it. Same kind of song like yours, I think.
But I decided to post another one, bit more serious. When hearing you so nice and funny song i regret that choice (a littlebit).

Man, you had fun with making this song I suppose! No, I know for sure. Especially the end of the song is telling me how much fun (and rum) you had.
Very nice and funny song, but I got the feeling the instruments sounded a bit 'covered under a blanket', unless my headphone isn't working properly.

Nice weekend,
Hans

Marty,
when is the next party? I am not too far away smile
Well produced happy tune. I am a big fan of Putumayo label (World Music). If I didn't knew it was you, I would of thought it's a tune from one of their compilations. Easy listen. Thank you for sharing.

Love your vocals on this (and the crowd, too).

That BASS needs to be Much Louder!!! Party!!

You're funnin' us. Never Stop!!!

On my way.

Thanks, Floyd. I think ALL of the instruments (except maybe trumpet) should be louder. It took me forever mixing in and out all the non-musical stuff on 27 tracks, so my ears probalby ignored most of the important stuff. hehe. Thanks, Floyd.

Thanks so much, Brad. Glad it brought out the smiles.

You sing it very nice, you can hear you enjoy it.

FUN! We love all of your voices and the loops and RT’s really do make it a party atmosphere. We don’t even like to go to parties much but we’d love to go to this one. smile

You’ve spread a lot of joy around with this song, Marty, and it is well timed for us all!

“Life is short so let’s have a ball!” Indeed.

Well done video but had rather watch than participate smile

Excellent!

Thanks, Wayne. I spent way too much serious time trying to mix all this ridiculousness, nbut it was a lot of fun for sure.

Ha....I thought about that when I was listening.
A lot going on and figured it was a mixing challenge.

Well done...

Thanks, Mario. That "watching the news" and "having a party" were the reasons I thought of Nero.

Hi, Hans. Never heard a song from you I didn't thoroughly enjoy --especially the ones with rum in it. You're absolutely right about the band getting lost in the party. I'd like to say it was my intention to make it more realistic, but the truth is after I got the band set in the mix I seem to have lost all contact with them while mixing the drinks.
