#265910 - 10/18/14 12:59 PM [User Showcase] Animals Are So Cute
Registered: 01/23/09 Posts: 103 Loc: Massachusetts BruceI Apprentice Registered: 01/23/09 Posts: 103 Loc: Massachusetts	I wrote one other song for my granddaughter's recent second birthday. Stella LOVES animals, and my daughter has taken her to the nearby Stone Zoo several times, and also to Franklin Park, Boston's other zoo. They give names to most of their animals and Stella knows many of them, so I asked my daughter for a list of some of her favorites, not telling her it was for a song. The title came from Stella herself, as her usual animal comment is "so cute!" My wife and younger daughter helped me sing the choruses. For the video, I got a few pics from my daughter, but again turned to Creative Commons material on Flickr, some of which is really stunning. Except for the newts and a few family shots, all of the animal images in here are from Zoo New England, shared by local photographers. Watch in HD to really appreciate the quality of their work.

As usual, you put in some clever rhymes - hirsuit and wet tongue salute. Everything about this was great. _________________________ -- David Cuny My virtual singer development blog Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

I liked the backing tracks, your vocals and harmony partners and the video but what took it over the top for me were your lyrics!

Registered: 01/23/09 Posts: 103 Loc: Massachusetts BruceI Apprentice Registered: 01/23/09 Posts: 103 Loc: Massachusetts	Thanks for the kind words! Sometimes I can wait years and the right lyrics never come, while other times they almost fall out on a walk with the dog, like this one. I had the title from Stella saying "so cute" all the time. Once my daughter gave me a list of her fave zoo animals (Pins the porcupine, Diablo the owl, Xena the llama, Paddy the baby gibbon, etc.), it was almost like a crossword puzzle fitting in the names. I got lucky with Paddy and daddy of course. I also tried to keep it simple -- um, except for hirsute . Now I think I have found my target demographic - 2 year olds! At Stella's party, my ex-wife said, "this is great - you could have been Raffi!" Except there already IS a Raffi, and if I'm going to be someone else, I would go for a Paul (Simon or McCartney would be fine with me). Thanks again, Bruce _________________________ SoundCloud Blog: Music of the Spheres Tools: BIAB 2015, Sonar X3, various iPhone/iPad apps

Very clever lyrics and so much more fun than Simon and Garfunkel's "At the Zoo" (who needs all that preachy social awareness stuff). Thanks for sharing your music and family with us. SD
