Take a Bow

A bit ridiculous, but a lot of fun to put together. So MAYBE it will be fun to listen to. If not...well, at least it's SHORT.

This song is dedicated to our fans. Both of them. We're forever grateful that we somehow managed to marry up. ("marry up" is a somewhat obscure term for being lucky enough to marry someone better than you deserve.)

Ha!

All the instruments are from the 2026 _MUCK.STY RealStyle. They are arranged in various combinations, and shots are used in the 2nd verse.

THANKS in advance for any listens and comments.

TAKE A BOW

We played on the stage
Bathed in the spotlight
Even made the front page
Hey, we’re sold out tonight

The mosh pit is full
The girls going wild
A human swimming pool
Hey, I think that one smiled

Shoot the stars above us
Shake the hands that shove us
All the fans that love us
Take a bow
Take a bow

We wrote all our songs
So we could keep control
And when they sang along
Well, it made us feel whole

The t-shirts were sold
With pictures of the band
And then we got too old
But, that’s not what we planned

Shoot the stars above us
Shake the hands that shove us
All the fans that love us
Take a bow
Take a bow

The limousine has like ten flavors of seltzer water
And a driver on bail for vehicular manslaughter
And enough headroom for all the Harlem Globetrotters

We play all the hits
Cuz that’s what they like
With our matching outfits
Hey, we all look alike

We play the encore
For better or worse
And if we’re keeping score
Hey, we coulda been (we coulda been) first

Shoot the stars...

Shoot the stars above us
Shake the hands that shove us
All the fans that love us
Take a bow
Take a bow
Take a bow
Take a bow

Too many guitars (is that a thing?)
