You certainly have a very imaginative way with your lyrics and storylines, but you've always had that tongue in cheek ability. Thank you for the heads up on changing styles mid song as well, I wouldn't even had considered that BIAB could do this, but it's there. I feel i've only just scratch the surface of BIAB's potential. Musically and vocally it's a spot on, such a great feel good song.

Onward and upward to the next song and challenge..... Cheers matey
Thanks Lee! One of the benefits of BIAB is it allowed me (and inspired me) to experiment with different styles - it’s like having a White Album in a box! I’ve watched quite a few ‘how to’ videos to uncover BIAB features, but still missed the Drop Station feature as Ron pointed out. Regarding the next challenge, I’m feeling backward to snooker that watermelon!

Good idea for a song with an amusing lyric.
Music wise I think the guitar sounds a little thin when there's no vocal.
Maybe try side chaining a fast compressor for the guitar to the vocal and increase the dbs on it a little.
Don't just take my word for it because it could be my ears.

Thanks Vic! I’ve used side-chaining only once before so I’ll have to look up my notes and give it a try.
