Karo

Not sure if this is really a parody of a specific song, more of a spoof of the 6m 4 1 5 genre in various orders.
And of course my hatred of Corn Syrup based pancake syrup! Real Maple Syrup Only!

Karo momma always gave us Karo,
maple syrup is no bueno,
that is always why she say no.
Tastes of nothing I can say oh
No flavor , I can't take mo

All I want is just some maple surple
No more cereal that only tastes purple
On my pancakes or maybe some bacon
Hurry up because my belly is aching
I need a tasty sugar fix right now.

Karo, momma always gave us Karo,
maple syrup she no pay for
Though we scream, she always say no.
Might as well be eatin play dough.
tastes the same and it must go.

Maple syrup is the most perfect food
tastes great on every pyramid group.
Nothing better with fresh cooked bacon,
chicken biscuit, tater skins be a makin.
Don't want nothing with no Karo.

Hi TommyC
I like the sound structure of this song.
My first thought is this a Jingle for syrup?
The production is good. The compression works well even on my crappy mobile tablet phone. Something I have yet not accomplished. Lyrics are good, vocals are clear. Honest and simple. I like it!

I love it when a song here takes me by surprise! I had no idea what Karo Syrup was, so I Googled it and found it's corn syrup. Is it a cheaper/less palatable syrup than maple, hence the heartfelt lyric? I followed them on Soundcloud and smiled all the way! Such anguish set against a very groovy chord sequence! Great stuff.

On my headphones the excellent gritty vocal was panned a lot to the left which I did find a wee bit distracting. Or was that part of the shtick? Anyway, a great listen!
cool

Well, I agree with your choice of real maple syrup over Karo, but I think that this is a really cool song idea and you ought to consider trying to come up with some more serious lyrics... I think, that if you do that, you will have a really cool song because the melody and Arrangement are really very nice... That being said, I would never choose Karo over maple syrup!!

The Band-in-a-Box® Flash Drive Backup Option

Today (April 5) is National Flash Drive Day!

Did you know... not only can you download your Band-in-a-Box® Pro, MegaPAK, or PlusPAK purchase - you can also choose to add a flash drive backup copy with the installation files for only $15? It even comes with a Band-in-a-Box® keychain!

For the larger Band-in-a-Box® packages (UltraPAK, UltraPAK+, Audiophile Edition), the hard drive backup copy is available for only $25. This will include a preinstalled and ready to use program, along with your installation files.

Backup copies are offered during the checkout process on our website.

Already purchased your e-delivery version, and now you wish you had a backup copy? It's not too late! If your purchase was for the current version of Band-in-a-Box®, you can still reach out to our team directly to place your backup copy order!

Note: the Band-in-a-Box® keychain is only included with flash drive backup copies, and cannot be purchased separately.

Handy flash drive tip: Always try plugging in a USB device the wrong way first? If your flash drive (or other USB plug) doesn't have a symbol to indicate which way is up, look for the side with a seam on the metal connector (it only has a line across one side) - that's the side that either faces down or to the left, depending on your port placement.

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."
