Is This a Joke To You? - Frankie Big Face It’s opening night But something ain’t right At the Improv They switch on the spotlight And suddenly I’m all alone I abandon the material I’ve worked on for weeks And say “Take my wife— Please.” A smattering of laughs I acknowledge my gaff And move on A sip ...

To the judges: I know you like to see the lyrics, and I will post mine. But in the case of a song that has comedy, you may want to consider listening without reading first so the jokes aren't spoiled. I think my song works better when you don't know what's coming next. Just a suggestion.

My preference is July 19-20. #1.

Okay, wait. Now I'm really confused because it say "To" in Niveous's post. But I swear it said "For" earlier.

What's up, judges? What's the actual title?

And wow! Looking at the lyric archive, it appears almost everyone got this "wrong." I originally did the same thing and then fixed it later on.

Will be interesting to see how the judges deal with that...

Posted lyrics Realised I'd got the title wrong Realised I'm not the only one Prepositions are overrated Except when they aren't I should rewrite this post in haiku form Maybe Glenn Case can help That's because almost no one says "Is This a Joke For You?" Regular people say "Is This a...

Frankie Big Face : The production is also nice and clear here and I like the story you set up. But then I get disappointed that it’s all just to “get that girl”. Concerning the title, the song is a little obvious (Guinness and later Ripley’s Believe It or Not), but that’s just personal preference. ...

Frankie Big Face - Nice drum fill intro. Kinda reminds me of flaming lips. Like the ambient stuff in the background. The lyrics kinda remind me of Grandaddy. Nice Harmonies. Chord progression sounds classic. Nice clean guitar solo tastefully done. I like that doubled effect on it. (following the ba...

*googles 'descants'*

HAHAHAHAHAHA.

Yeah, Google that shit, Jeff! I probably just mean countermelody. When I read the Wikipedia entry on "descant," it seems a little too specific to early music and hymnal.

Balls To Monte : I get the Beatles comparisons, but you sound more like Supergrass to me. (They're awesome, by the way, but I'm guessing/hoping you know that already.) I like this arrangement and it's a pretty good song, but I would have either taken another pass at the lead vocal or dropped it by ...

Frankie Big Face : Wow! I love this! The production is as close to perfect as any of us can afford. The slightly-obscured love story. The vocoder[I'm guessing an homage to ELO]. I love everything about it. Great job! Wow! What a compliment. If I can write the song fast enough (as I did in this case...

Frankie Big Face - first time I heard this was while listening to the Nur Ein XIX round 0 entries, so my initial reaction to the opening line was that you were calling the Guinness beer company, until the follow-up line about a new world record whereupon I realized that you meant a different Guinne...

What???!!!! Thanks everyone!

[ Frankie Big Face : This is really good and should win. Where I've forgotten how to record, you've only gotten better. I love this production but it's not just the mix & mastering that assentuate the performance. I like the way your voice sounds in this piece and really like the night-air atmo...

frankie big face: i think somebody earlier mentioned the 50's vibe of this. it's a very striking, insular yet spacey arrangement. like an astronaut drinking because they miss humanity. I love that description. There is a strange contrast between the reverb and tremolo on my synth patch and the dry,...

These aren't great reviews, but I like to read reviews of my music (even when they're not super-positive), so I (unfairly) assume you do too. Add : My favorite thing about this song is the loose feel. But I also love that this could have been posted in 2001 - you haven't aged or matured a bit! ;) Su...

Frankie Big Face : i really like that quavery synth from the intro. Or whatever it is. I really like how the first two verses mirror each other. Gonna vote for this one. I had two production goals with this recording. Test out the new UAD "Capital Chambers" reverb plugin I bought and deci...

Frankie Big Face – The song itself is deceptively simple, but the lyrics are rather impactful. Points deducted for leaning heavily into the “sleeping in the park” bit, but at least it isn’t used directly as a rhyming couplet with the title except once at the very end. And the song itself is lovely ...

Frankie Big Face I like the intro alot. Reminds me of something. Its kinda like a gothy Everly brothers. I like the way the bass comes in. I like the lyrics alot. Has a real classic feel to it. Well done. I love that this reminded you of the Everly Brothers. When I wrote the song, I 100% figured I ...

Hey hey! Thanks everyone.

Twenty years have passed since my last win.
