Description:
Similar story to my last collab w/ Daphna. Just attempting to flesh out the song with some real guitar and goosing the production a bit.
Lyrics:
she says that she wants to meet, the perfect guy
so she goes on a reality show, to give it a try
but the men she’s about to meet, and get to know
are the kind you and I would call, the average joe
well she said:
this is a rude surprise
but these are really very special guys
so I think that I’ll stick around
but you know, what I’m going to say
it’s the truth, can’t sweep it away
here it comes, it’s as clear as day
she doesn’t want Mr.Right
she wants a Mr.Right Now now now now
she wants a Mr.Right Now now now now
repeat
it’s not very long before she falls for some of the guys
she starts to see beyond the looks, beyond what just meets the eye
but soon there’s about to be a nasty turn of events
it’s sure to cause alot of grief, to those average gents
it’s so cruel:
one more group of men
the shortest one is maybe 5’10
and they’ll be moving into the house
handsome, buff, so muscular
they’ve got chiselled features, golden tans, perfect hair and great big hands
designer clothes and shaven chests, the whitest teeth the freshest breath
well you know, how the story goes
it’s the end, for those average joes
the sad truth, from this reality show
is she doesn’t want Mr.Right
she wants a Mr.Right Now now now now
she wants a Mr. Right Now now now now
repeat

well...for what it's worth... &mdash 09/28/04 - 02:06:49 PM
I like some of the touches you've added...but not the vocal effects. What I assume are two identical vocal tracks, hard panned and slightly off-set on the timeline, are distracting to the song. Undo that, and I think your additions add something. I kinda prefer the synth-sharpness of her original take, but I think your stands on it's own, also. [ Reply to This ]

I like the vocal effects. It really makes the song 3 dimensional. I love the whole concept of the song. The production quality, I feel, is very good [ Reply to This ]

I like the guitar, the upgrade. But I am such a fan of
Daphna's pop tunes, and her straightforward no nonsense
style, the vocal effects perhaps took a little away from
that, even tho some effects were needed as an upgrade. I
just wish she sang with more enthusiasm, like maybe she
needed a Mister RIght Now too, creating a kind of ironic
layer. Still, this is a worthy song to work on and this track
is a fun improvement. Her lyrics are so great and pop
melodic content so solid. [ Reply to This ]
Thanks to all of you &mdash 10/09/04 - 06:07:57 PM
For your comments. I had a lot of fun on this and really
tried to just keep the core of the original. I personally like
what happened w/ the vocals, although initially this also
had the whole of the original mix on top of it, which
brought the main part of the vocals dead center and this
was there to add a bit of a layer behind it to flesh it out. I
ended dropping the original mix out in favor of the "sub-
mixes" I'd brought back in from her GB file.
Of course one of the reasons I wanted to work on some of
Daphna's stuff, is I really love the sort of ironically
detached style of delivery she has in these. Thanks for
taking the time to look it up, since the bomber got to it
fast enough to keep it getting much front page time. [ Reply to This ]
you goosed it well! &mdash 10/20/04 - 12:58:34 PM
