Yeah , I hear ya'. but I was going for a Brazilian vibe ala Antonio Carlos Jobim/Stan Getz. Guess I missed the mark.

Thanks for the review Noah

Steve, maybe you should consider a pitch-correction plugin? I dig the percolating organ. Clever rhymes, nice concept. Runs a little long. I'd have cut the second verse, as it doesn't give any new information. Repetition kills comedy. Yeah, I've got pitch correction software but I feel guilty about ...

Hey! I'm in. It's been a while.

You Believed It Yourself By Steve Durand You're lying to me once again And just like it's always been I see right through it every time You're telling me that it's OK But how you act gives you away By now I've learned to read the signs The way that you pretend to cry And you won't look me in the eye...

Steve Durand: Well done. Except your synth horn could use a patch tweak. No... just kidding. Interesting lyric -- but not in the archive. Pity. I wanted to hear every word, but that would mean I'd have to listen to it again. Against the rules. Oh, and since you changed the title -- you added an 's'...

Ross,
Congratulations on your 100th Songfight! entry (under this name).

Congrats to Ross & PiGPEN

Steve Durand This piano lick sounds familiar; did you intentionally gank it from somewhere?

I didn't intentionally copy anything but it really does sound familiar doesn't it?

I wracked my brain but I couldn't think of what it might be so I went ahead with it.

Clearly, the hands-down winner of the "Best Funk-Fusion-Dixieland Song" award was stevedurand . Also the winner of the "Least Surprising Surprise Ending Lyrics" award. Well it I wasn't really expecting it to be a surprise because once you know the title of the song it is obvious...

Steve Durand: Damn-the-British-Invasion sensibilities makes this interesting for a while, but not long. One rotting stump. (That's your prize, not my metaphorical opinion of your song.) Dear Stubby, I just received my stump and it isn't nearly as rotten as I expected. To whom do I complain? (doesn'...
