Marty...another brilliant write...great title (hook)...you're the "punniest" writer I've ever heard...your vocal reminded me of Roger Miller also a very clever writer...I love the piano part...the breaks...never met anyone who could write great music from the situational stories that are roaming around in your noggin...they're never boring , sometimes weird and always entertaining! Haha. Thanks, Dan. Dang me. Roger Miller? Great rhythmic piece, the piano reminds me of Elton John's rockers, but although not Taupin's, the lyrics are a perfect example of Marty's buoyantly bubbly imagination  I always wonder from where your wild ideas come. The song title perfectly describes the mood in the rhythm of the words. What a splendid arrangement, bongos and cheers are clever additions! Your vocals really shine here. A song that makes me smile and makes me want to get out the spoons and pans and start jamming along Janne Thanks, Janne. Yeah, Berrnie would cringe at the comparison. I don't know where the ideas come from either, which is why I know there is no credit for me --or blame. SPOONS!! Why didn't I think of that? Hi, Marty. Nice! The pianist really earns his pay. You're a fun vocalist to listen to - expressive and digging into the lyrics. There's a reason the word "entertaining" keeps popping up in these comments, and I echo them whole-heartedly. Thanks, David. Whatever BiaB paid that pianist, I'd like to give him a tip. He wasn't a Leon imitator, but he brought life to the idea. Sorry Marty.
I've listened twice before now & had thought I'd commented at the 2nd listen...well third time is the charm...
COOL song, each new pun for the laugh but they don't diminish the song or narrative at all.
The song is a tightrope for a mad dog accompanying Englishmen. Salisbury steak anyone?
The piano solo is REALLY cool...love those chiming chords.
" & Bongo Drums a specialty" sang the late Joe Strummer.
LOVE the vocals, bass and arrangement.
Enjoyed the story and the overall sound.
Aced it! Thanks, Ray. I do that too. Can't tell ya how many times I wrote an extended comment only to find out later that I never pushed POST. In fact, if you ever post a song here and I DON'T comment, send me a note reminding me I didn't push POST.

Nice honky-tonk tune, Marty! Sounds like a fun place to hang out on Saturday night, if you can get some food ;-)
I enjoyed your singing, bass, pots 'n' pans and bongos, and the BIAB piano.
Keep doing what you're doing, love it! Thank, Bob. It might be a good idea to pack a lunch and go through the kitchen entrance. We can see Leon Russell killing on that piano! Your imagination serves up some delightful productions, Marty. And we can tell that you’re having fun in your joyous vocals too. The pots and pans reminded us of our nephew first learning to walk and having fun in our kitchen. He'd pull out the pots and pans from the cabinets to play a song for us. Cool bass, vocals, bongos and pans. But where is the guitar case drum? Super cool write and loving the last bit: "Leon placed his bongos on the shelf next to the stove. His hands kept right on moving to the beat those bongos wove. So many stacks of pancakes and burgers piled neat. He set his bongo table cuz Leon had to eat." Big Time Fun! J&B PS Bud had some sound-on-sound reel-to-reel fun in the 70’s also. Recorded a couple of albums with it. THanks, you guys. Hey, Bud, some religions would say we have the same Overself. BiaB has some great pianists, but Leon isn't among them. I hopeyour nephew still plays pot 'n' pans into his 70s --ya know, keep the child inside alive. Very clever. I like the play on words in the title.
This immediately reminded me of Rod Stewart on Stay with Me.... And then a brief glimpse of some Beatles vocals a bit further along.
That's sure enough a jukin piano player. I really like that track and I'll have to remember it if I get lazy and decide I don't want to play the piano on one of my future songs.
I totally enjoyed this song. Thanks, Herb. Oh, man. I see I missed listing the solo piano. It's RT#1950.

Back in the early seventies, my friends and I would get high and go into the kitchen to find percussion instruments among the pots and pans. I would try and strum the mandoline, but it was only good for slicing food. This song brought me back to those days. As usual, very clever stuff from you, Mr. Straub. Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Love it! Thanks, Brain. Leon was unavailable, but BiaB came to the rescue. You outdid yourself with these lyrics. Leon. Rustle. Hahaaha The pots and pans contribute and air of authenticity.

Ah, a stoned drum circle in the kitchen. The room sound sucked, and the drums were far from perfect, but, man, a ton of fun for sure. Thanks, Bob.
