Description:
thank yous to rmaclema, slimgirlfat, bagheera and tigger (the BEST cats in the jungle) and lonnie donegan – skiffle!!!
thank you doesn’t come near for petee, peter, technoboy, my sound engineer, my husband and a very nice voice indeed – you ARE the man.
Lyrics:
Someone sent an email and it said to me
Come and hear my music now on your pc
I went where I was sent that night
Heard that song on the macjam site.
So I heard, I saw and then I stayed
And now I’ve got some music which must be played
Ain’t got no garageband – just ‘audacity’
And I can’t get to work for me
I tried to work this software but I just got in a mess
Can’t make out which button to press
I thought I had recorded but there was no sound
All this makes my head spin round
Things couldn’t get worse but they did just that,
I don’t get a picture or a slogan in chat.
So let’s fix it now – get this problem solved
Here’s the way it will be resolved
Every day that I’m alive I’m looking out for my G5
Or my faith will take a leap and I will find an ibook cheap
Won’t you pay
Straight away
Make my day
PLEASE X
Hardware:
well, not a mac obviously! The same guitar that I found behind the sofa 3 months ago but now it has new strings for the first time in 20 years, a plastic kazoo that I paid 50p for on holiday in devon, my new snowball (i'm lovin’ it!) and peter!
Software:
pffft!!!

Fun writing, fun singing. A very worthy cause indeed for the donation of used hardware (or were you insisting on new equipment only???).

Send a Mac to her ... &mdash 09/17/05 - 02:30:59 PM
I do hope somebody will oblige since you asked so nicely.
I'd let you have my old one but it will only run System 7 so
it's useless for anything except ornamental purposes. (It
has, however, had an eighth of skunk dropped down the
back of it which has probably doubled its value.)
Very witty song, sweetly delivered. Peter's backing vocals
are ace. [ Reply to This ]
Send a Mac to her ... &mdash 09/18/05 - 05:07:16 AM
hey - let's just get the back of that machine and enjoy ourselves while we wait!!! bless you rebsie and thank you for those great days out in the hills especially the day that i found this song lying around up there - one love, one lawn!! xxx [ Reply to This ]

loverly &mdash 09/17/05 - 04:29:25 PM
still love your voice. guitar sounds great. love peter's backup
vocals.
i think you should send this to apple. let them use it in a
commercial. although it sounds more fitting for a VW
commercial (and i don't mean that in a bad way - they've
used nick drake's music!).
all in all, lovely. could only be better if it were done on a
mac. [ Reply to This ]

have to do too many repairs.
Superbly fun tunage!
Thanks for sharing!

is it??? and if you don't know... i certainly don't!!! however, i am delighted that you felt four 9's to be appropriate for which i thank you x [ Reply to This ]
Love it... so much fun... &mdash 09/17/05 - 05:17:53 PM
Oh wait... you're serious! :-) OK, a word of advice then... in
order to make this sneaky plot work, you'll need to bring the
kazoo forward in the mix, add some weird distortion to it,
and try to sing off key, maybe detune the guitar...
unfortunately this was way too good... you won't get anybody
to send you a Mac just to make you stop if you're going to
produce enjoyable music like this!
ttfn,
Drakonis (the "MacNugget" as my wife calls it is cheap!)
8-9-8-8 (production is 1 due to your ability to conquer
Audacity :-) [ Reply to This ]
Love it... so much fun... &mdash 09/18/05 - 05:50:21 AM
the truth of the matter, my little dragon, is that i didn't conquer audacity! i did that weeping, wailing wifey thing until poor peter took pity 'pon me (is this enough alliteration for you?) bless his technological heart!! thank you for flying through! xxx [ Reply to This ]
oooooo! kazooooo! &mdash 09/17/05 - 05:40:13 PM
On this song, your very clever lyrics are delivered with
your usual "zing and zip" -- your voice is truly unique
with its expressively low, vibrant timbre, so everything
you sing comes vividly to life.
Your guitar playing ain't too shabby either! Obviously
you've shaken the dust off. Nice playing!
Peter's voice is a very good addition -- you two sound
very good together. Art imitating life!
The only problem with the kazoo is that there wasn't
MORE of it. It added a perfect whimsical touch to this
song. (Maybe you could collab with Mungo on a piece
called "Concerto for Kazoo and Cowbell"!)
As always, your songs bring a big smile to my face --
thanks for posting this! I look forward to hearing more. [ Reply to This ]
oooooo! kazooooo! &mdash 09/18/05 - 06:05:46 AM
thank you cameron - i do sense a klassical kantata to the kazoo kalling kreatively from somewhere in the kosmos - i'll get back to you! xxx [ Reply to This ]
Yay! &mdash 09/17/05 - 05:52:12 PM
Well, timing is everything. I just sold my iBook to my sister-in-law. But if I win the lottery here in California and can afford a G5, I will send you my sawtooth G4.
Lovely song. Too right! [ Reply to This ]
Yay! &mdash 09/18/05 - 06:13:24 AM

But... &mdash 09/17/05 - 06:23:19 PM
...but if I send you my Mac, I won't be able to play on GB.
If I win the lottery, on the other hand, I'll happily help you
out. (I hear one needs to buy tickets, though).
Caroline, this is my favorite of yours so far. Jaunty,
pleading, clever and shameless. Great stuff! Great job on
the guitar with your new strings. Well done! And the
snowball sounds great. Kudos all around on this one! [ Reply to This ]

Let's face it. You'd get big points on this site singing any

You NEED audacity to put a song up that's this good and then claim hardware poverty and software ignorance ... but then it seems you have it in spades ... or buckets ... or some other indefinably large quantity.
Can I put in the first request for a sequel ?
If this audacious musical plea fails try :
Send cash or cheque or Paypal me ...
Just don't send it C.O.D.
M and U and N-N-EEE
Write that cheque payable to me !
