I used realstyle CAIRPGS for the intro, and everything after that is mainly JAZMEDL. I added some strings here and there from one of the Mancini styles, and threw in a banjo (soloist 1790) behind the last, "da-da-da" verse. During the bridge, I mixed in some of the midi drums with the realtracks drum style. I didn't add much else, other than some toy-piano sounding fills I play at the end of the some verses and the bridge. The tracks were exported and then mixed in Logic Pro X.

I don't have a strong opinion one way or another regarding the procedure that's the subject of the song -- there seem to be medical and ethical arguments on both sides. But the whole idea makes me squeamish anyway...

Hi Gilly ...

Well, that was a bit unexpected! I think in my 45+ years in the music biz I've never heard a song on this particular subject!

Very well put together and amusing! We loved the creativity of this one. Best to you!

Gilley, Finally a song about the unkindest cut of all. That was unexpected and very well done. Nice write and very well sung and produced. More, more! Tom

Really, really clever and funny!! A fun listen. Take care. Greg

That's pretty funny. Nice change of styles for the "chorus" (in the greek tragedy tradition). ... and I think it was good idea to stay with that style once the topic was "uncovered".

Exceptional writing throughout. Continually funny. Solid recording.

But this...

"Just give me an answer
I ask you man to man, sir"

...is brilliant.

Who grows up wanting to be Tom Lehrer?
You should be on the road with this stuff.

There are a couple of folks on another forum that I thought had written a humorous song on about every strange subject possible -- but I was WRONG!

This is seriously clever writing and genuinely funny. I enjoyed everything about it.

Wow! Please put a warning sign before turning this song on. Just kidding!

You don't happen to be a butcher in a meat market?



Wonders will never cease.



DA...
