Description
This is a song written with a friend, and it's my first real "song" - that is, one with lyrics. It started out as a joke. The main riff sounded like something really cliché, so I thought it would be funny to write a song about a "hit song", using simple guitar part. I'm posting this as a rather raw "acoustic draft" to get feedback on the structure and lyrics before I make it a real "rock song" - or just to gauge whether I should leave it alone!

Lyrics
Heard it on the radio
(did you hear it)
Played it on the late night show
(did you dig it, dig it)
Said it was a top 40 song and it went like this

Badadidat be da
Ba da da ba da da
Badabidat be da
Ba da da ba da da da

Said the singer was on crack cocaine
But I don't care 'cus his song's real good
The words are simple so sing along...

Badadidat be da....

Went to the record store
(to buy it)
Clerk there didn't know the song
(hadn't heard it, heard it)
Said it was a top 40 song and it went like this

Badadidat be da....

Played the song for my friends and pals
We learned the words and we sang along
Kicked off our shoes and we danced all night

(we sang)
Badadidat be da....

Heard it on the radio
(did you hear it)
Played it on the late night show
(did you dig it, dig it)
Said it was a top 40 song and it goes like this

Badadidat be da....

Neat melody singing and I like how you sing with the strummin.

Cool syncing, kind of jazzy. Really like that jazzy feeling!

Fun
I like it the way it is.

Most rock stars don't do crack though. Crack's usually a poverty drug.
Rock stars can afford the good stuff.

You have an interesting voice.

Thanks, though I'm not sure if "interesting" is a compliment or simply an observation. ;-)

I guess crack isn't the most likely drug for a rock star. But there's nothing saying he didn't do it before he hit the big time...right? Okay, plus, I think it works better than "heroine" or "ecstacy". :-)

Yes, I dig it
I'd swear I had already left a comment on this song many months ago. I
stumbled accross it again and say that there was no comment from me.
Is this a second version/re-upload?

Anyway, I really like the tine. It's really fun, with some good, catchy lyrics
and a generally great simple structure. The rhythmic phrasing gives it a
lot of life. Great job. Just right.
