Description:
A couple of hunting seasons ago, I drew a "cow tag" for elk, meaning (for you non-hunters) I could shoot a cow elk, instead of just a bull. I proceeded to finally get my first elk (after 12 years of hunting). On the drive home, I wrote this (fortunately the cops didn't see me swerving).

Lyrics:

When I saw you,
I knew that I would have you
When I looked into those big, brown eyes
And gazed at those enormous thighs

Well you were hairy
And your ears were huge
I doubt that you'd look good in tights
But still, I had you in my sights

There was no time for me to act like a weenie,

I thought I'd order you a lead martini!

Well, I filled my cow tag!
Been trying for awhile
She was playing hard-to-get;
I knew that she had style
And to meet all my friends,
I didn't want to push her
But I did insist she let me
Introduce her to my butcher

Although I shot down our romance
Just a trifle,
She gave me a reason
To clean my rifle!

When I pursued you
I could see you had fallen for me
I certainly don't pretend to be rich,
But I'm sorry I dragged you into a ditch

Well we had met
Only moments before
But as I cut the small talk, I could see
You were already spilling your guts to me

I knew that my intentions would not please her

'Cause all I wanted was her carcass in my freezer

Well, I filled my cow tag!
I've waited all this time,
And all you tree-hugging PETA freaks
Who think I've committed a crime

You can go munch on your bean sprouts,
You're making my head ache
I'll be thinking about you
As I grill another steak

Like blue-haired grandmas
Love Lawrence Welk
I had fallen for
A fallen elk!

Call me a saint,
Call me a sinner,
But I'd really like to have you
...For dinner

All the time and money
I'd invested
Will be worth it after you
...Are ingested

This was disturbingly funny... I secretly enjoyed your offbeat wordplay in the lyrics, and it was cute music too (I checked my CW-music-aversion at the door for this), words fit well into the song and were nicely sung. Sort of like a bizarre melding of Weird Al and Tom Lehrer (and your "Brokeback NASCAR" reminded a teeny bit of PDQ Bach's "Beethoven's 5th" parody.) Anyway, enjoyably quirky humor, well-written lyrics... made me smirk! Welcome to Macjams!
ttfn,

Thanks drakonis, I appreciate the kind words.I found this site by accident while Googling "GarageBand tips". Very cool forum & great to hear what other GB'ers and amateur recording artists (some not so amateur) are doing.
