Description:
I wrote and recorded this about 1992 on a portastudio with the help of an Atari 1040 and some very budget gear. The piano is a real one. The recording is very tinny and not good so I've disabled the ratings thingy as I'm already aware of it's short comings.
- there is a story but it's a bit involved and I dont think anyone would be interested - it's about someone I used to work with some years ago who wanted to get married to some gal he'd never met from the continent, -the upshot was that he was trying to get money out of his mother so he could buy a house for him and his proposed bride. Needless to say his mother didn't go for it and they all lived happily ever after.

yes, I suppose this is as near to a rap as I'm ever going to get. I appreciate your comments, thank you,

but my bank account won't stretch that far.
Love this John - fantastic song and excellent arrangement - this could really do with being re-recorded, it would certainly be worth the effort. Great lyrics and mega performance.
Cheers

I have thought about re recording this one several times, it did make an appearance on icomp but failed miserably, don't think it even had a comment.

I appreciate your comments Marc &mdash 05/27/08 - 10:51:21 AM
thank you for such kind words, they mean a great deal to me. This really is an old track and not very well recorded either, -still I'm glad you have judged it as a song.
Best wishes,

is this techno rap? &mdash 05/27/08 - 06:38:41 PM
I wouldn't know, I'm hopeless. I seem to remember liking the interplay between the bass and the piano. Thanks Dick, it's good to hear from you. Glad you like it.
John.

Frank Zappa Lives! &mdash 05/28/08 - 05:44:23 PM
This reminds me of "Dinah Mo Hum" by Zappa, especially the vocal and the lyrics.
Very solid rhythm section. Nice chorus too, with a plaintive harmony.
Good one. [ Reply to This ]
A huge compliment indeed &mdash 05/29/08 - 05:10:28 AM
I remember the night I heard Zappa had died, -I was doing a gig in a place called Ellington's in Swansea, and it just knocked me for six. Dinah Moe Humm.......what a track and what a band. I only wish this track had been recorded a little better. Thanks again Tim.
