Judy or Trudy or Marge
_FURIOUS.STY
Rock/Pop

Mostly the style played straight up with substyle A on the verse and substyle B on chorus. The verses play a dual guitar shot on beats 2 and 4, which sounds pretty cool. On the verse, the drums are reinforced with the loop crunchy_120_b drums ev 16.wav, which is not part of the style.

lyrics by R.W. Davis
vocals by Dusty Hughes

Good choice of style for this song. It fits well. A few parts have an Elvis Costello feel.

I LOVE Elvis Costello--this does sound a bit like the Attractions (less organ), now that you mention it.

"Quirky" can be good...RIGHT? HA!

THANK YOU for the feedback!

This interests me a lot. The backing is certainly blues-inspired, but the vocal melody and harmony are a much straighter pop, and the two go together very well. I think this song has a very modern vibe despite the retro, and much more likely, BECAUSE of it. The lyrics are very cool, and the voice has that bit of "irony" that fits it well.

I like this a whole lot.

Ha! According to Wikipedia, "...on 27 April 2002, for the first time in almost 40 years, the Hot 100 had no British acts at all." Wow, THAT'S quite a run for the Brits. BTW, I bought my first Elvis Costello album in *1977* after watching him sing Radio Radio on Saturday Night Live. THOSE were the daze, er, days...

Wow, THANKS! The lyrics and vocals are credited in my original post, and I TOTALLY agree that R.W. and Dusty did a great job on this. I can't explain the collision of styles and why it works, but it does to me, too.

THANKS again!

Nice song. It kind of reminds me of the 90s song "Walking On The Sun" by smash mouth. Lyrically it's very creative and entertaining. Great job on this.
