Three watches and something new every time.
Janice is out with her mother at the moment
and our dog just came into our music room because
I was literally laughing out loud!
We'll have more to say after Janice has a chance
to watch.
Lot of talent juice flowing here!!

Pat, There is definitely a strong Marrtian influence here. The video is insanely good. Your creativity knows no bounds and your sense of humor has some of us seriously concerned for your mental health and well being. It's all so very well put together and produced that there is nothing more to say but "if you don't think that's funny then there is something very wrong with you" Pro all the way, Tom

aw gee, floyd, you don't have to go there! I'd be happy with "interesting" ( which can be interpreted to mean just about anything) Your attention to detail is astounding. Like the Windows opener on the computer.. Cool! You noticed! The blink-change was very clever! I was trying to portray the disconnect between what people read and what they want to believe... which is made harder to determine because people spin their profiles to make themselves sound more interesting and desirable than they are. Dating sites are an interesting study in human nature... ... the "date my mother" camera work was perfect! that started out to be a throwaway line, mostly because I needed a rhyme for "other"... but months ago when I bounced the song prototype off you and Bud, one of you came back with something about being interested in seeing how the "didn't really want to date my mother" line would be portrayed in a video. CHALLENGE! ;-) (for better or worse, that's how it turned out) "...and a man with enough cash to make it all happen" HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!! I was surprised to learn that there are really women on dating sites whose goal is to help as many men as possible spend all their money. Miss Terious. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! not that far removed from the clever names people choose on such sites... The progress bar on the rose was over-the-top!!!!! hard as it may be to imagine, electric roses are real! (but the progress bar not so much) You worked the story so well. The double-wide was a nice touch. in the same sense that a classic country song needs a train or a pickup truck or a beer, a song about online dating needs a double wide... ;-) The instrumentation is perfect for this type song/story. As good as Larry Groce's "Junkfood Junkie". And the mix is excellent. ah, you're very kind!.. I already mentioned in a previous reply where the idea came from for that style of song/ (Roy Bookbinder "New Age Woman"). I started out with something closer to Larry Groce's guitar version, but once I tried the chords against the style with dobro, I was sold. For an animation the up-tempo bluegrass really keeps the story moving... The lyric is so well written that it ought to be repeated in the thread, too...
It is a great read and an great example to other writers.
BORED AND LONELY LATE ONE NIGHT ... WAS SURFING ON A DATING SITE
READING PROFILES IN MY USUAL FASHION
THINKIN' THAT THERE REALLY OUGHT... TO BE A GAL WHO'S YOUNG AND HOT
ENOUGH TO TAME MY NASTY REDNECK PASSION
SIFTIN' SAND IN HOPES OF GOLD... 'CAUSE GALS MY AGE ALL LOOK SO OLD
AN' I DIDN'T REALLY WANT TO DATE MY MOTHER
THEY ALL LIKE BEACHES WINE AND TRAVEL,... NO MYSTERIES HERE LEFT TO UNRAVEL
EACH PROFILE READS EXACTLY LIKE THE OTHER
THEN CAME A PHRASE THAT CAUGHT MY EYE,... I COULDN'T LET IT PASS ME BY
2 WORDS WERE ALL SHE'D WRITTEN : “50 SHADES”
I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS KIND OF GROOVY... REFERENCE TO A DIRTY MOVIE
HOPING THAT THIS TIME I HAD IT MADE
I SENT HER AN ELECTRIC ROSE... AND ASKED IF SHE WOULD BE OPPOSED
TO MEETING ME TO SEE IF WE MIGHT CLICK
I HOPED SHE'D BE THE CAT'S MEOW, AND FANTASIZED ABOUT JUST HOW
I 'D HANDLE SUCH A LUSTY WANTON CHICK
DROVE UP TO HER DOUBLE WIDE...KNOCKED ON THE DOOR AND WENT INSIDE
WHAT I SAW THAT NIGHT BLEW ME AWAY
CATS OF EVERY COLOR SWARMED .. I NEVER FELT SO MISINFORMED
THEN I KNEW SHE MEANT “50 SHADES OF STRAY”
PERHAPS MY MOTIVES HAD BEEN SHADY, BUT THIS WAS ONE INSANE CAT LADY
AND 50 CATS AIN'T MY IDEA OF FUN
THE ONES THAT WEREN'T ALREADY FIGHTIN'... CLIMBED ON ME AND STARTED BITIN'
I KNEW RIGHT THEN AND THERE THIS DATE WAS DONE
BUT I ESCAPED (I'M NOT SURE HOW)... GUESS WE CAN LAUGH ABOUT IT NOW
MY THINKIN' HERE WAS SLOWER THAN MOLASSES
BUT AS THIS AWFUL MEM'RY FADES, IF FUTURE BRINGS ME 50 SHADES...
NEXT TIME I REALLY HOPE THAT THEY'RE ...SUNGLASSES gee, thanks for doing that! Seeing it written out does emphasize the odd rhyming scheme This needs to go viral. I truly hope it does.
BIG STANDING O. I hope it goes viral too... but my videos tend to stall at about 200 views, so I won't hold my breath. Floyd, thanks for the encouragement you offer... not only to me, but to all of the people who post songs here on the forum! This forum owes a lot to you

A really smooth and together arrangement.
Probably as good a demonstration of how BB makes a package complete as can be heard.
Your capture of your vocal is really, really good. The evenness of levels, the lack of boxiness or room sound etc. makes the vocal clear, intelligible and pleasant.
It'd be really helpful to me to explain your signal chain and processing.
Within you lyrics the meter is consistent and supports the syllables really well, the rhyming hinges on perfect rhymes with only the occasional use of poetic license and the narrative is linear.
Cheers

Pat
Very clever - good song loved the lyric and well sung. thanks Peter... very kind words and I truly appreciate that you took time to listen and comment. Regarding the quality of singing like this, there was a conscious decision and I struggled with it. In order to paint the image of a redneck tellin' stories to his friends, a GOOD vocal presentation would undermine the persona. So, I shot for a conversational delivery and prioritized cadence over pitch. Looking at where the blobs fall in Melodyne, I know it's pitchy... but that suits the needs of the song. Thanks for commenting favorably, I hope that means what I attempted actually works. ;-) You certainly are getting more advanced with the use of Muvizu - nice textures. Particularly liked your main character.
As noted elsewhere very well done. regarding the main character... you may see some resemblance between him and my forum avatar.... ;-)

Very funny song about very inspirational subject  You have really captured those usual "travel & wine" clichés. I have also written a (blues) song inspired by women's dating profiles and I could write many more  Fantastic video with a real story line, I hope you can make a sequel one day. It would also be interesting to hear woman's view of the subject. Janne

Hey Pat,
The two of us came back for another look. This time we used
pause and start and pause and start, etc, all the way
through two times and I still don't think we've seen all the cool
subtleties.
TOO COOL!!
While becoming absorbed in the outstanding video it is easy to
take for granted just how good the song alone is.
Your are the forum multi-media meister!!

Very entertaining and very topical Pat, love the video, as I have muvizu myself but haven't tired much with it yet, I can appreciate all the hard work you have done putting both the song and video together.
Really really good and fun to watch and listen to.

What an excellent project. Music, lyric and vocal were excellent. The youtube video was first class as well. Scott, thanks for taking time to listen (and watch) and comment! Regarding the quality of both music and video, I'm an amateur in both arenas , but trying to learn incrementally through projects that challenge my current skill level. I suppose that could be said for most of us.

Bud ah gee, Bud... no wonder I like you so much.. you say such kind things! It's always a little risky trying to write for humor because that sensibility is a river that runs in a lot of different directions, and you run the risk of offending at least as many people as you entertain. Knowing that you can't please everybody, I take my chances, and if even one person finds it amusing, then I feel like "mission accomplished" So... thanks for saying you laughed out loud! you made my day!

Hey Pat,
Not related to THIS song but to your animation talents...have you seen the current Kia Soul commercial? I was doing our usual zapping the DVR through commercials and had to back up. It's a setting of animated squirrels playing different instruments in a park. Janice and I looked at each other and said Sam Bushytail!!

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."
