Registered: 05/23/10 Posts: 1719 Loc: New Zealand RichMac Expert Registered: 05/23/10 Posts: 1719 Loc: New Zealand	Spent ages working on a new improved version of this, it's from my FAWM, but didn't like it as much as the quick demo which is here. Oh well. Photo is cousin Wally. https://soundcloud.com/tuigorge/fawm-no8-ratbag-rap Uses BLUGRSF style which is Bass RT 427 Banjo RT 426 Guitar RT 431 Fiddle RT 428 Added RD Blues Rock You stop at the lights, hear boomf, boomf, booomf, coming from somewhere,look around. Kid in his car, hat on backwards, gives you a sharktooth smile, maybe the finger, rumbles off down the road. That's where the song starts. RatBag Rap Heading for my local country gig. Shaken by some rapper's ratty rig Boomin sound is all around Seems to come up thru the ground It's enough to make a grown man cry shake a fist at an empty sky My rattling brain moves slowly on again I'm set up soon ready to perform Band starts up again plays Wheels Singers sing same old deal My mind keeps wandering it's insane Ratbag Rap's lodged in my brain Ratbag Rap and it's got me beat Keep hearin it in my sleep Why oh why's it picked on me RatBag Rap please let me be Up to the mike to sing my nervous song Sweet melody that all goes wrong Sweat breks out then I'm shakin Anyone can see I aint faking Voice goes flat pull down my hat I start rappin do the Ratbag Rap Hit my stride try to do my thing Just keep talkin cause I sure cant sing. Then the people clap politely Shakin their heads mumblin quietly. I just keep playin simple country bass every now and then theres a smile on my face. Ratbag Rap and it's got me beat Keep hearin it in my sleep Why oh why's it picked on me RatBag Rap please let me be The president he comes my way Says thanks so much for comin in today We appreciate your playing sure is nice Heard your song once don't need it twice. Please hit the road and don't come back We've had enough of that Ratbag Rap. Ratbag Rap and it's got me beat Keep hearin it in my sleep Why oh why's it picked on me RatBag Rap please let me be The people cant swaller it the band cant foller it That RatBag RatBag RatBag Rap Any and all comments welcome.

Registered: 12/05/11 Posts: 13011 Loc: GA USA Janice & Bud Veteran Registered: 12/05/11 Posts: 13011 Loc: GA USA	So a kid's listening to his dad's music and says "dad, I don't understand that music....his voice keeps moving all around." And dad replies, "son, it's called a melody." That summarizes my rap feelings Well, this is certainly different! But it's clever and funny with some, for sure, memorable lines. I'm gonna pass this one around. Cool production. _________________________ J&B Videos J&B Soundcloud J&B Website

Cheers. Thanks Olemon. Glad I suprised you. We certainly get some variety on this station. Cheers Thanks Charlie. Hope it made you smile. Cheers. Thanks Dani. Your comments are a tonic. Keep smiling. Cheers. Hi Floyd. Unfortunately it's only slightly exaggerated. Such is life. Do enjoy bluegrass rap and theres quite a bit about. Can't understand the words though. Cheers. Janice and Bud. Thanks for the great comments. Add melody to rap and I guess you have a song. Would like to find a spot somewhere between singing and rapping to feel comfortable in. Cheers. Thanks Gruverider. Fun and joy is definitely the aim of the game. Cheers. _________________________ https://soundcloud.com/tuigorge

I guess rap is seeping in everywhere. I used to absolutely hate it, but I have to admit I am beginning to like some of it. Thanks for giving me a smile. Tom

A bit of fun. That's the thing about FAWM. No time to overthink anything. Just churn something out. Cheers. Hi Guenter. Wally is a real character and has always been one of my favourite people.
