Fun, fun video!!! Much darker lyrics than the tune suggests, am I right? ;-) Superb job, the juxtaposition of those darker lyrics to the dancing tune is seamlessly done. Hats off to you, sir - bravo.

Hey, James. Thanks for the MAJOR compliment, an I get it. I always wanted to do a version of When I See An Elephant Fly from the cartoon version of Dumbo.

Actually the lyrics are more nonsense than anything, but I'd say the singer and CiCi are happier than the singee.

Love Your vocal, always makes me smile! Your positivity and encouragement to others around here is one of the best things that's happened to this forum in recent years!

Take care, TB

Thanks so much, Torrey. So much easier working with the PGMusic horns. I remember once in the 70s I charted out horn parts for a song I wrote. The tenor player looked at me and said, "This whole section here is impossible to play on a tenor sax." I immediately went out to buy a book on musical instrument limitations. SO much easy to have these guys do it.

What a fun listen that was . . . Going dixieland on this was a moment of inspiration . . . just the perfect mood and feel for this lyric and your vocal shines. A toe-tapper for sure. Very cool!

Hope all is well in your world,

Deej


Thanks, Deej. Polka was the only other option for this comedy, and I didn't even check to see if BiaB has any. smile

I love the style. It works well with the melody and lyrics. A step back in time.

Bass line is primo!

Thanks, Scott. Truly only wrote this cuz I like playing bass over it. wink

Enjoy whatever happens!
