21st Century

Just for fun! I had these dumb lyrics floating around in my head for some time now so I decided to put them to music.

BiaB style - part one - Blues Wolf - Slow Blues Shuffle
I deleted the drums and replaced them with Groove Monkey MIDI loops with various Steven Slate's SSD-5 drums
Bass - Ample sounds upright bass
Piano - EZ Keys upright piano - preset - Saloon
Guitar - AAS - Strum GS 2 - Blue Jass

BiaB style - part two - Good'n Country - Bluegrass Style
Drums and Bass same as part 1
Piano - Kontakt - Mandolin
Guitar - VSTi Taylor Acoustic guitar
Strings - Kontakt - RealiBanjo

21st Century

v-I brought my house up to the 21st century
I even got a doorbell that can see
I can turn on the lights from my phone
Even when I'm not home
I brought my house up to the 21st century

v-I voice activated a lot of commands
But I'm a very clever old man
Instead of using words that could astound
I use some very clever sounds.
I voice activated a lot of commands

v-I staggered home last night from the local bar
I was way to drunk to drive my car
I tipped toed through the house
I was as quiet as a mouse
-----then it happened--

V-I farted and the lights went out
And I'm roaming around in the dark
I can't remember the word or sound
That makes the lights come on
I farted and the lights went out
And I'm roaming around in the dark
Hoping and a praying that I don't
Wake up my wife Yvonne

V-I stubbed my toe on the coffee table
Limped around the best I was able
Until I ran into a wall
I guess I should have crawled
v-I was hoping that nothing was broken
then I walked through the door that was open
Down the stairs my body went
Landing face first in the basement

V-I farted and the lights went out
And now I'm laying in the dark
Too little brains way too much braun
I farted and the lights went out
And now I'm laying in the dark
I think I'll just lay here till dawn


Me, it's not about how many times you fail, it's about how many times you get back up.
Cop, that's not how field sobriety tests work.

Thanx Bob. I appreciate the kind words and I'm glad you got a chuckle out of it, that was the intent for this song.

Thanx for these very encouraging words.

I don't get this line "Here I am thinking your not in too the modern gadgets Etc, preferring Midi like me !." as everything in this one is MIDI. Maybe I fooled you into thinking they were RTs?

I'm glad that you like this and that you got a chuckle from it.

No you never fooled me in to thinking it was real tracks ?.


Not in too modern gadgets was a reference to the lyrics !!.....I brought my house up to the 21st century

Thanx Floyd.

About those cymbals what is wrong with them and how can I improve them? Thanx in advance for your time.

Keep in mind...I am not a fan of cymbals (loud open hi-hats and rides).
The cymbals in your mix are QUITE loud on my speakers - dominating your mix (my opinion, of course - and my speakers). They pull my ear throughout the entire song... so I guess you could say it's a volume issue (for me).

I just listened again to this song and I can see your point. Thanx for bringing this to my attention.

Nice Job Mario, good for you. I really like the break between part 1 and part 2 and the style change (including the symbol crash grin ) which fit the second part.

Mario,
funny stuff! Lyrics should be printed on T-shirt. Ending is epic. Nice change to Dixieland style. I wish vocals would be a little more upfront.
Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

It's insufferably hot and humid and Delta roars through our county....

So this was just what we needed for a BIG laugh! Sounded like a long night smile

VERY clever indeed and lawd knows what else might be floating around in your head!

We enjoyed it all -- nice band, arrangement and cool, albeit rare, vocal.

J&B

PS When it comes to music we have all the latest tech but not when it comes
to lights and doorbells, etc.

Thanx so much Dan for listening and commenting. This was the first time I mixed two totally different styles together. I think each one fits the lyrics.

Thanx Misha for noticing the ending. As you can tell I'm not a singer and do very little singing, thus my vocal mixing skills are not up to par with my instrumental mixing skills. Thanx for pointing out about the vocal.

1-You do not want to know what is floating around in my head!
2-Yep got up to date music tech but I do not even own a smart phone let alone a seeing door bell!

Hahahahhahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa!

Bloody clever and funny.

I don't think I have seen any lyrics or vocal from you before. This was good.

I think you have invented a new gadget. Instead of the "Clapper," you have created the "Flatulater."

thanks for the hearty laugh!

Band-in-a-Box® 2024 Review: 4.75 out of 5 Stars!

If you're looking for a in-depth review of the newest Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows version, you'll definitely find it with Sound-Guy's latest review, Band-in-a-Box® 2024 for Windows Review: Incredible new capabilities to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs.

A few excerpts:
"The Tracks view is possibly the single most powerful addition in 2024 and opens up a new way to edit and generate accompaniments. Combined with the new MultiPicker Library Window, it makes BIAB nearly perfect as an 'intelligent' composer/arranger program."

"MIDI SuperTracks partial generation showing six variations – each time the section is generated it can be instantly auditioned, re-generated or backed out to a previous generation – and you can do this with any track type. This is MAJOR! This takes musical experimentation and honing an arrangement to a new level, and faster than ever."

"Band in a Box continues to be an expansive musical tool-set for both novice and experienced musicians to experiment, compose, arrange and mix songs, as well as an extensive educational resource. It is huge, with hundreds of functions, more than any one person is likely to ever use. Yet, so is any DAW that I have used. BIAB can do some things that no DAW does, and this year BIAB has more DAW-like functions than ever."
