Description
Another tune from my old songwriter demo tape, rescued and digitized. The drum track was generated by a cheap toy electronic keyboard. I also used that keyboard to play what sounds like a synth bass, by processing it through a fuzz box and some other filters. The only other instrument on the track was me playing my Strat.
The song was inspired by the procession of Lounge Lotharios I observed in bars during my "Born-Again Bachelor" days. I wrote it specifically with video in mind.
It was one of the songs intended for performance by my (retired) musical alter ego, JOE HOLLYWOOD.
===========================
The cover art features me and the lovely MacJammer, annalia in a virtual scenario conceived by MJ'er hrluper (and borrowed from the photographic archives of MJ's own Alimar) --- and all inspired by cydniko's FUN retro photograph thread http://www.macjams.com/forum/viewtopic.php?forum=4;showtopic=57219. Thanks, all. ;-)

Lady-Killer
Music and Lyrics © 2006 By J.A. Stewart
— ALL RIGHTS RESERVED —
You’re a princess, yes, your Daddy told you so
and so you’ve waited for that special Mr. Right.
But you’re so tired of looking high and feeling low,
You pray your Prince may come tonight...
He wears navy blues and Gucci shoes,
his eyes flash as he walks through the door.
He’s got a perfect smile, a real sense of style
and a look that you just can’t ignore.
He’s that one-in-a-million dream come true,
he’s got that “something,” that makes ladies stare.
But don’t get caught by his eyes, the sweet perfume of his lies,
No, take care --
He’s a Lady-Killer, yes a thief who will steal your heart.
Well I know that you think he’s a thriller, but look out!
Before you let in him your heart ------
He’s got bedroom eyes, a voice like lullabyes,
his words are woven like fine tapestries.
He is tall and trim and one look from him
will fire desire in your fantasies.
Yes he’s got it all, he’s a living doll,
he’s got that “something,” that special flair.
But don’t be drawn by his charms, to the trap of his arms,
no, Beware!
He’s a Lady-Killer, yes a thief come to steal your heart.
Well I know that you think he’s a thriller, but look out!
or he will tear you all apart ------ He’s a Lady-Killer. Look Out!
He’s that one-in-a-million dream come true,
He’s got that “something,” that makes ladies stare.
But don’t get caught by his eyes, the sweet perfume of his lies,
no, Beware ---
He’s a Lady-Killer, yes a thief come to steal your heart.
Well I know that you think he’s a thriller, but look out!
Before you let him in your heart ------ He’s a Lady-Killer. Look out!
A Lady-Killer. A Lady-Killer. Oh, Lady-Killer--- hmmm Lady-Killer.

Man, you change your mind and fix things to move around faster than I move straight forward and in one direction to a final end - Even you might not know what I'm saying, Joe, but I'm glad to know that the affirmative to my question is here to scratch my Joe Hollywood, itch... - A cheap toy elec keyboard seems to be what was meant to be - It fits the attire of 'the lady killer', even if it wasn't meant to and in that particular, 'fashion'... - I like the overall sound that you've created here - This has a very classic mid to late 70's feel to it - I was especially digging that electronic grinding synth sound on this - How'd you do that? - And I should say that you do have, or had, whatever the case may be, one very effective set of vox - Perfect for this - I liked the kinked up 'sexy' voice inflections - He-he - And did I hear a growl in there - Nice structure and this flowed well, sir - I'm not quite sure what to say about the lyrics in this day and age, but I don't think that I should be making any such relative comparisons, so for it's intended context, nice work!!! Glad that ya resurrected this - that must have been fun - Thanks Joe! - Very nice work - Dion
