Well, it's not so new to me, but it's new to you!

So it's a blend of things, but I can't quite name them now. I can't find the original BIAB file so I'm not absolutely sure what the underlying style is. Maybe someone else can name that drum pattern! If ever find the original BIAB file I'll let you know - I can only find an alternate version in a different, faster bluesier vein.

All the vocals are me. It's got added real guitars and keyboards over the original RT drums and bass and - yes there's some RT sax there - and it sounds like some RT lead guitar in there too.


Another Dumb Pop Song

The leader of the Russian Revolution
Stole a Beatles’ name
And then he had the nerve to spell it wrong
A famous painter cut his ear off
In a fit of rage
And yet he wound up in a dumb pop song

The verses too short the chorus too long
Another dumb pop song
The verses too weak the chorus too strong
Another dumb pop song

A thousand years from now
Historians will go to early graves
Endeavoring to find out why we listened to ‘em
Imagine their revulsion
When they hear the ringtone craze
Convinced by now our culture’s nothing but a ruin

The verses too short (etc)…

There’s a pop star from yesteryear
Whose fame’s not short of fabled
Let’s not say his songs are lame
Just – differently abled
Another dumb pop song (etc)…
