Description:
This song was my first attempt at recording with GarageBand... I pretty much sucked and I haven't really gotten all that much better over time. Still, this song has spirit. I recorded it for my bandmates to learn the stops etc... and then we proceeded to use this song to end our set with. What a fun way to end a show!

Lyrics:
JoeBob was out in the cornplow
when the saucers came
They zapped him with a ray,
then they took his cows away

BettyLou, she saw it too,
so did uncle Mo -
At night his dentures glow,
proof enough, it’s really so

And as the spaceships left,
a faint moo was herd throughout the sky,
a bovine cry!
as to their destiny,
bettylou, she has a firm belief
that mars needs beef

-solo-


And they will soon come back,
From their planet oh so far away
Cause Mars needs Hay

We commemorate the day
the saucers took the herd,
The loss joeBob incurred
set him straight, now he’s insured.

And all our eyes look to the skies….

loved the punk energy. the last laugh is on the martians if the cows have
mad cow disease. the lead gtr lines had a neat 50's sci fi sound.

That Lead Solo... &mdash 10/12/06 - 09:29:40 AM
I was trying to get the feeling of a wild spining ride on a flying saucer when I
was figuring out what I could make for this song. I orihginally wanted a
Theramin solo.... but I don't have one of those. Thanks again for your wonderul
support and cool comments!

Don't you know it! And when we hit that last line "and all our eyes look to the
skies" we would stop and all look upwards and the audience would laugh. That
was a cool moment!


Thanks for stopping by and commenting!
