CHECK IT OUT!

Funk Instrumental, with a small chorus:

Is there no denial?
"Just a small faux pax"
Stolen with a smile,
And to hell with Ma.

If you missed it
Go untwist it
See what all the flap's about.

Wake up and Check it Out!

That wah wah guitar reminded my of Shaft!

Great funk! Super selection of instruments. I really liked the vocal breaks.

I enjoyed the groove but the "two bars of" instrumental solos were disjointed and disorienting.
Once the wha whackah started I wanted that to keep on going until the melody/vocal.
Cool though.

Tano,
Wild tune! Very creative arrangement @ treatment of vocals. Solid mix. A "wake up" tune this beautiful morning. Thank you for sharing.

Misha.

Hi Tanio Music,

nice funk composition and the lyrics are well introduced. I like the playing of the sax which has its place with this style. The arrangement is well done. All the instruments are well balanced in terms of clarity and volume.

Kindly regards

I enjoyed the arrangement and who can resist funk with a little attitude coming through on the vocal snippets.
The build on the intro is well done. The "checkitout" guy sounds imposing!

A nice, brisk, spicy little jolt of musical energy with intriguing lyrics. Danceable as all hell, too!

Starts off great, and keeps getting better.

You really captured an excellent eclectic mix of sounds that all bounce off each other.

Thanks Friends..it was fun to get "funkified" for this piece...!
Posted By: Leon1 Re: CHECK IT OUT! - 01/13/21 02:06 AM
Like the Neville Brothers say, you cant stop the funk! Very creative and enjoyable.

Leon

Hi Tano ...

We're never sure what to expect when we click onto one of your tunes ... but we know it's gonna be a treat. No exception here. Funk depends so heavily on drums and bass and you have both in spades. Still chair dancing and the song ended a couple of minutes ago. Di's chair dancing is pretty cool ... mine, not so much! We really enjoyed this!@

Have a great 2021.

Leon, Al/Di...thanks for “Checking it Out!” I enjoyed using the BIAB toolset to get the old blood moving!

Creativity abounds.

Flowing smooth funk? Contradiction? Nah.

"Thanks Friends..it was fun to get "funkified" for this piece...!"

So how do you get unfunkified? smile

Cool!

I can only "funkify" for a fleeting few minutes...normal state is easy-listening.
Thanks for checking it out.
