Haha. Thanks, Dan. Dang me. Roger Miller?

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 smile

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. smile SPOONS!! Why didn't I think of that?

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. smile
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.

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.

Enjoy whatever happens!
