really great job guys Marty and Dave, love it !!! some really nice changes going on nice licks Dave and love the bass thanks for sharing Eric Thanks for such a wonderful comment, Eric. I'm surprised you and Dave can funk this well  Scary lyrics, how I can sleep now peacefully if they are coming? Great groove, excellent guitar and bass work. As I'm used to say, more funk, please  Janne Beware, Janne. It wasn't revealed, but the ones that are coming are looking for great song writers. You, sir, have a BIG target on you. Sleep well. The song may not be about much. But it sure has a class of its own. Excellent bass playing, and Dave's powerful (Michael Schenker style) guitar leads take it to another level.
Rob Thanks, Rob. I'm not familiar with Michael Schenker, so now I have a mission. Hi Marty and Dave Excellent mix You can really feel your fun with this song Bass and guitar work are on a very high level here You did a really good job Many greetings Andi ;-) Thanks, Andi. Yeah, you can tell I love working with Dave. This system of recording where he does his part at his house and I do mine at mine is rather odd, but, man, Dave always comes through as if we were in the same band for years and are playing together in the same studio.

Get down, Marty and Dave! This is just plain fun and we are fond of little ditties that let you stretch out and have some fun. You and Dave are in top form here. Great guitar tone and licks and, man, as always your bass lines are admirably supportive. And you wrapped it all up in a nice tidy mix. Fun video too! Those come hither hands are memorable  J&B

Cool crazy funky song.
They're always trying to mess with me.... just the way it is. Voices on the radio, voices on the TV......
They're coming.... no doubt. Yep enjoyed that experience.

Excellent tune Marty. Heard this one last week while I was driving down the highway. Super vocal and lyric and Dave hit it out of the park with is solo. Your basslines gave the song such a cool groove. Well done..

Marty
Super song about....whatever you want it to be about.
Great bass and lovely playing throughout by Dave. Wonderful vocal and a fun lyric.
Excellent (as was the video).
Peter Right? You got it, Peter --whatever you want it to be about. Thanks for your kind words. Hi, Marty and Dave !
What a wonderful tune ! Now we really have to be afraid of everything coming at us !!!!! Hilarious I´d say !
Loved it !
Cheers Dani
Haha. Thanks much, Dani!! Hi Marty and Dave,
This is what I wrote on your YouTube channel: Why you call this 'nothing'? A delicious funky song! And I thought it were a bunch of cats you were singing about. The lyrics fit perfectly how these hungry creatures behave. But I love them, and that's the same with your song. Very nice, with a gorgeous solo and dealing with nothing...
And I think I don't add more to it. You both did a great job, but that's what you always do. At least in my opinion.
Nice day, Hans ABOUT nothing. Thanks, Hans, for both of your comments. Your opinion matters so much, and I appreciate it. Man what a fantastic song, I was foot tapping, head bobbing all through it, love the melody and guitar solo!! Thanks, Ronnie. Very encouraging words, my friend.

Good mix.
Cool video.
great listen.
fj Thanks, Floyd. Dave always agrees to do some guitar on my songs to help make them real, so it's good to hand him a song where he can do some smmmmmokin'. Marty and Dave...that was SUPER funky and Super fun to listen to...I marvel at musicians like you guys...I don't know how hard it is to do that but I know how good it is! (and the video!!)...love your stuff...Dan Thanks, Dan. Sometimes it seems easier to do songs like this because you just play.

Marty,
Well, if you were going for funky . . . you nailed it. What a cool song—a lot of elements going on here that are meshed together perfectly. Hard not to rock along with this one. Killer guitar work by Dave. Excellent collaboration, gents!
My best to you both,
Deej
