Description:
This is a little ditty I did. It's kind of like I've been doing my own little "White Album" recently as far as mixing up the styles a bit.
I know it's a little short and simple and I could have done more with the solo, but I wanted to keep it nice and simple.
Hope you enjoy!
Regarding being simple. Clearly, when I use fewer tracks, I get better sound quality. That was also a key factor as to why it was kept in a simple form.

Lyrics:
South American Girls

Once I met a girl from Ecuador
One look at her, you couldn't ignore
Then I met a girl from Bolivia
Eyes like marbles in the morning sun

These are the girls I love the most
Had a quite many, but I wouldn't boast
Tropical child of the Amazon
Dancing in the jungle from dusk to dawn

Next, I headed off for Paraguay
Took all night and most of the day
Met her outside a San Lorenzo bar
Drove me back home in her beat up car

These are the girls I love the most
Had a quite many, but I wouldn't boast
Tropical child of the Amazon
Dancing in the jungle from dust to dawn

Tropical Child! &mdash 09/13/07 - 01:48:39 PM
Dude, you are WILD!

I wasn't expecting this cool tune. Love the guitar sound especially. Your vocals just keep getting better and better. The mix is really good coming out of my speakers.

Lyrics are really fun. Can't wait to hear the song about your European Girls!

Had this one........ &mdash 09/14/07 - 02:57:43 AM
I've had this won laying around for a while and really liked its simplicity. Only took a few hours to do, which was also quite appealing.
Check out the song desription if you want a more detailed explanation.
Later Bob

Thanks for the vox support. This one is part of my own little "White Album" I have been doing. Trying to mix it up, if you know what I mean.

Great quirky little tune, really funny lyrics, and vox as good as ever ... eyes like marbles isnt really a turn on for me, though ...

love the chord progression, the guitar part, lyrics and the vocals. great song, i'm gonna have that gtr solo stuck in my hread for days. i can't put my finger on it, but for some reason it kind of reminds me of Love and Rockets. really great job.

Always appreciate your kind comments. I thought this song would get kind of blasted and I'm really surprised that some of you do like it.
Thanks again.

Jolly and catchy .. &mdash 10/05/07 - 06:17:51 AM

I particularily like how (as is often the case in
your songs Dave) you manage to get all the instrumentation and voice to all flow as one .. so you quite easily forget to listen to what each 'voice' is doing ..well integrated, sewn together .. with no seems showing ..perhaps a consequence of how you write?

Funny lyrics and fine mix .. only quibble was the
lack of attention to the ending .. but I do that myself
too .. so who am I to complain? lol.

Kudos.

Hey thanks a lot &mdash 10/10/07 - 05:11:47 AM
That was one of the best comments I have read. Very informative and useful. I must agree that sometimes I don't really end the songs very nicely.
Thanks a lot APB
Dave

Sorry for not replying &mdash 01/27/08 - 04:20:39 AM
Hey GP, sorry for not replying earlier, it was probably during my 2 month long dark age. Neither DSL at work nor home.
I just think if someone took the time to listen and comment, one should send a reply.
So, here's my reply.

Thank You!
Dave

Solid &mdash 01/26/08 - 03:22:54 PM
Nice sound on everything, and that Syd strumming is ace! Great job on the vox, too.
Consider this for the next LSP thing (could be an outtake from Here Come The Warm Jets).
Cheers,

[ Reply to This ]
Thanks for hitting...... &mdash 01/27/08 - 04:16:34 AM
Love when someone hits one of my oldies. Glad you enjoyed. It was just a little ditty, that's all.

Thanks SJ,
Dave
