I meant to address my comment to Bud, but the voice-to-text software must have been fooled by my American accent!!

You have received some great feedback already, so I'll just say I enjoyed listening to your song.
I like the groove you have happening, nice instrumentation, and some very clever lyrics.
A fun listen!

I agree about the late start to the vocal - I had thought it was an instrumental with written lyrics. Vocally there are some stumbles due to extra syllables and, realistically, some automation, (like ReaTune or similar) could place notes more exactly in the chords. I think it's a good starting point that, if you listen a few times over your time away, you'll be able to hone to a snappier vocal performance.

It really reminds me of Joe Jackson's Jumpin' Jive album and it's got great energy. I wouldn't presume to tell you what needs changing but I will be so bold as to let you know what I would have done had it been my tune. That's because I'll always presume the artist got at least close to what they were aiming for and I've not heard anything else you've done to compare your style. As such I'm not saying you've done anything wrong, or that it can be improved, more how I would done it slightly differently... the tune stands great on it's own. I would have added an almost 'singing down the telephone' type vocal... Not too pronounced but just enough to evoke an old 78rpm type of sound.... Either that or go down the thoroughly modern route that Joe Jackson took (he does have a slightly raspy voice anyway). I don't mind at all the extended intro and don't think it would sound out of place on an album track, but agree it would be too long on a 'single'. But like I said; I enjoyed listening to it and think it's got great energy.
It's only my madness that stops me from going insane.

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.

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.
