Hey!
I was feeling happy through the whole song!
Jona Ah, makes me feel good to hear that, Jona. Thank you. Great track, the chorus is especially strong! Horns were primo, always happy to see BIAB horns get some use. Lyrically, I thought it would be a cautionary tale, but you applied your unique vision to that. When I read the lyrics I wasn't sure about the prosody, but you sang it perfectly. Got that chorus stuck in my head now. Thanks, Bob. As mentioned, the original intent was for guitar, but Dave was busy. Zydecoal Bill suggested horns, and Dave said I owe Bill a case of beer. Yeah, my only suggestion to kids is have fun. It's more of a limerick than iambic pentameter.  Good one, Marty! Man, you have those drums sounding great, bass not too shabby either  Love the horns too. Thanks, Dave. I remember when you got EZDrummer, and I said it would take up too much of my time. Man, was I right about that, but I love the creative fun. Most excellent funky joy song! You really are a prolific songwriter. Love the horns and the video is perfect for the song. Hi, Chay. Thanks so much. Kids dancing with abandon always makes for a good visual.

Hot funky groove, excellent work with those great sounding horns, reminds me of Tower of Power which I happened to see once live here in Finland, I can feel the same energy here.
Your most danceable track on Over Bored, and I'm not over bored and I hope I won't be thrown overboard, cause I'm dancing to this wickedly good beat. Very catchy chorus which is playing in my head quite often. "let your feet play their part" is a good advice also for us with worn out bones.
Great selection of BIAB instruments and the bassist is of course the backbone of the show. Great rocking vocals.

And that is my goal as a teacher: to teach my students to think for themselves.
That is one grooving rhythm section. Your message is right on. You might think me crazy (and you wouldn't be alone), but I think this would make a great Schoolhouse Rock song. Think of the royalties!

I've been absent for a while, been working A LOT, and at 73 that's rough. I love the song, I've missed listening to all the great music, and this is one.

Funny Funk, I even liked (what I normally do NOT) the trumpet. It makes me smile and tap my toes. Love it ![[Linked Image - Only viewable when logged in]](https://www.pgmusic.com/forums/images/icons/default/thumbs_up.gif) Thanks, Brain. Glad you could give the trumpet some lovin'. Hi Marty,
Thanks for the funky upbeat tune!
Loved your bass and vocals, they meshed well with the BIAB horns and guitars.
Funk on! Thanks for the listen, Bob, and your kind comment. Hi there Marty,
You couldn’t get any funkier if you funking well tried. Another good song you, you just keep ‘em coming.
Kind regards. Haha. Thanks, Lee. More to come for sure. This starts like a STEFAN song.
Well, it's is a funky blues song after all.
LOVE the bass, love the vocal - heck, It's all super cool. Well done Marty. Oh, man, so glad you mentioned Stefan. I love his stuff. That's quite a compliment. Thanks, Ray! Awesome piece Marty. Such a cool vibe and feel to the song. Super vocal and lyric. Everything was so very well done. Thanks, Scott. So glad you liked it.

Janne Wow, Janne, TOP was tops. Glad you got to see, hear and feel the energy. You're the best --referring to the album. Yeah, BiaB... what an incredible list of session players we get to hire for free. And that is my goal as a teacher: to teach my students to think for themselves.

What a wondeful teacher, Scott. Thanks! So many people in their lives will be telling them how and what to think. Schoolhouse Rock? Very cool. I knew Bob Dorough way back in the day. Saw him many times. What an enerrgetic and talented fellow. Yeah, when I think of royalties it's more like a King Charles or a Queen Elizabeth. I've been absent for a while, been working A LOT, and at 73 that's rough. I love the song, I've missed listening to all the great music, and this is one. Hey, Ronnie. Thanks. So good to see and hear you here again.

This is delightful! When these last
lines played we could just see Charley dancing with you. 😊
“Listen to the swinging rhythm that is dancing in your heart.
Give in to the beat and let your feet play their part”
The horns are a very fun addition and they also made us think of
how much Stefan would enjoy this song.
Your performances, the arrangement, the mix and the vid are all ace.
What a fun song and excellent advice!
