Description
this is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek sixties-style pop song inspired by a recent TV series you may have seen called 'the apprentice'.
I sing and play everything except the drums which are DoD loops
hope you enjoy it!
cheers and thanks for listening

The Apprentice
I’m so pretty, can’t you see
I know you want to be like me
My legs are long and my boobs protrude
I’m well-connected and I’m pretty shrewd
But I lost the plot long ago … you know
Stuck in this revolving door
And when I tried to push
It made it spin so fast
So I guess I’ll be the last to know the score
I’m well-healed, you know it’s true
My gardener earns much more than you
He tends my pool and cuts my grass
And if you disapprove, you can kiss my ass
But I lost the plot long ago … you know
Stuck in this revolving door
And when I tried to push
It made it spin so fast
So I guess I’ll be the last to know the score
Yet I’m so troubled …. I must admit
Don’t understand why you think I’m sh*t
When I wind you up … and then let you down
Do you consider me a clueless clown?
So maybe I drive you insane …. such a shame
Stuck in this revolving door
If I ever get out of here
It’ll surely slow right down
And then I’ll finally get to know the score
I’m so pretty, can’t you see
I know you want to be like me
My legs are long and my boobs protrude
I’m well-connected and I’m pretty shrewd
But I lost the plot long ago … you know
Stuck in this revolving door
And when I tried to push
It made it spin so fast
So I guess I’ll be the last to know the score
I’m well-healed, you know it’s true
My gardener earns much more than you
He tends my pool and cuts my grass
And if you disapprove, you can kiss my ass
But I lost the plot long ago … you know
Stuck in this revolving door
And when I tried to push
It made it spin so fast
So I guess I’ll be the last to know the score
Yet I’m so troubled …. I must admit
Don’t understand why you think I’m sh*t
When I wind you up … and then let you down
Do you consider me a clueless clown?
So maybe I drive you insane …. such a shame
Stuck in this revolving door
If I ever get out of here
It’ll surely slow right down
And then I’ll finally get to know the score

Oops, sorry... where did that come from? ;-)
The subject matter and lyrics aside, I LIKE this somewhat quirky song.
Parts of it do suggest a 60s vibe. The melodious parts and harmonies
work *very well* to that end.
Here are my observations and suggestions...
Your song is an interesting, eclectic mix of musical styles that, for the
most part, *works* --- except in parts.
1) Most notably, the discordant ending on the chorus phrase... *know
the score*. If you were intentionally seeking musical discord at that
point, keep looking... this current choice does NOT work. It's a
dissatisfying letdown to the harmonies that precede it.
2) Parts of your lead guitar duet clash; part of it may be due to the
uncomfortable discord mentioned above. Give it a good listen, clean it
up and it will work fine.
3) The chorus setting for the guitar is too fast and too thick; lighten up
on both those settings... and maybe add an unadulterated acoustic
guitar rhythm part into your mix.
