Doesn't seem like a popular class.
This track is a cheeky dive into the mind of a charmingly shady character, riding a groove so infectious you might just overlook his sketchy motives.
Pretty much all shady charachters are charming.
Marty’s vocals are like a smooth operator’s guide to sweet-talking out of any mess, dropping those double-edged lines with a sly grin and a delivery so smooth, you’ll find yourself vibing with the slickest player in town.😉
Ah, I like the Sade reference. smile
This is the anthem for the Excuse Architect—the dude who blames wavy mountain lines and a looming storm (on a day without a cloud in the sky) for his vanishing act. But while this guy’s running late and ducking out, the band’s right there, nailing the groove like pros.🎵
HAHAHA. You're the best, Izzy. Uniquely the best.
Marty’s voice oozes that slick, oily charm, spinning convenient lies with a musical sincerity that’s hard to resist. And even though he’s claiming he’s skipping town, his bass work is right there, holding it down with a funky, tight shuffle that makes you forget the main character’s a total sleazeball.🤪
Oh, man, who wouldn't love a salesman/agent like you.
And let’s give it up for Dave Bell (Blue Attitude) on lead guitar. His solo is so clean, soulful, and technically on point, it almost makes you believe that driving a pickup with busted wipers is a legit emergency. He takes this bluesy jam way beyond its sketchy storyline. 🎸💎
You are good at this.
"I Wouldn’t But I Want To" is a wild contradiction: killer music backing up some brutally honest lies. It’s the perfect soundtrack for ditching your responsibilities while your inner Seinfeld shrugs, “Not that there’s anything wrong with that.” Highly recommended—just don’t try these excuses on a date. They won’t fly. ✈👇
And now Seinfeld. Man, you're right. The one thing I hate about this song is that is seems to say gals are stupid. Man, they ain't.
This track proves that bad intentions can make for some seriously good music. 🎼 👌
Well, thanks Izzy. That was my intention. wink
Bravo Marty & Co. 👋 👋 👋

Thanks for the invite, and thanks to those that mentioned my contribution.
Thanks, Dave. You're saying I'm a smart producer, knowing who to hire to make a so-so song into a brilliant one. We make a good team: I got a lot of so-so songs and you got a lot of brilliance.

Great job, Marty and Dave ... one of those songs which I will listen to more than just the one time, haha smile Well done, gentlemen!
AH, James, my all-time favorite Santa. Right? That's what I was saying to Izzy. Women wouldn't fall for this; it's the guys who can't think.

Enjoy whatever happens!
