Description:
When I first took a look at macjams today, I saw that my song "Mr. Simpson" got really bombed (!), and instead of the usual rants, I decided to just write a song about it - take off a little steam. That being said, I have been following the threads on the rating rants and I think some very usable ideas have been put forth. Yoo-hoo... admin..... are you listening?

Lyrics:
Mr. Simpson got bombed today
he became distressed and perplexed, in a Mr. Simpson kind of way
but he got a hold of himself
and he asked me if I could play this little ditty
because he has this for me to say

listen to “Mr. Simpson”
he’s on macjams and waiting for you
so please do come on by

yes, it’s my shameless self-promotion
better than creating another commotion
around this whole rating thing
it can really mess things up
and bring things down
in a big way
when all most people really wanna do
is just play

you know, I don’t know why,
but I have this terrible sinking feeling
that I should have gone into jingle writing
you know, for commericals, and that sort of thing

listen to “Mr. Simpson”
he’s on macjams and waiting for you
so please do come on by
please do come on by
please do come on by

cute song &mdash 04/06/05 - 12:10:18 AM
i liked your conversational voice, very melodic and
appealing. Wonderful piano! I was trolling thru your back
catalog...you are a very talented songwriter!

I came &mdash 04/06/05 - 02:02:03 AM
on by and loved Mr. Simpson.
So this tune is the result of something negative. Isn't life
interesting.
Well done

thanks for that themasses, and especially for visiting "Mr. Simpson". Yeah, I
would have never written this if it weren't for that bombing silliness. Cheers.

What's your fee? &mdash 04/06/05 - 05:45:07 AM
I have a few songs of my own on this site that could use
similar promotion. I'll have my people call your people.
(This could be a good career move for you Daphne.)

Excellent! &mdash 04/06/05 - 06:43:01 AM
So sharply funny; all that fury concealed. I love "terrible
sinking feeling" verse. Really wonderful writing.

In case you missed it, Daphne, this piece was at the top of
the weekly picks (8.71 I think) before it got bombed. Sorry
about that.

Was that somebody's idea of a <i>really</i> funny conceptual joke, bombing
this song? Sheesh. Somebody out there has potty training issues.

glory!

thanks for your comments frml, and on the other tune as well. I have no idea
what the squirrel reference is, but it inspired me to post my own comment
down below (please see "thanks guys and gals"). What is that squirrel thing
anyway?? Cheers : )

Absolutely Right &mdash 04/06/05 - 09:20:32 AM
Wonderful! Gave you three 9's and a 10 to make up for
whichever of our illiterate, psycho-lobotomized, tv
hypnotized, no sense of music history or style delinquents
who bombed you. If I just knew who they were I could
reccomend a good therapist and a daily dose of good
music from the past and present to at least give them a
chance to have a clue!

What better way.... &mdash 04/06/05 - 11:59:15 AM
...to shamelessly self promote your song than through another song. Of course, now you will have to write another song to promote the song promiting Mr. Simpson, then write a song promoting the song, promoting the song promoting Mr. Simpson...and so on, and so on...

Very clever. Very well done. Enjoyed it very much.

thanks guys and gals &mdash 04/06/05 - 06:59:18 PM
for all your wonderful feedback. It is really funny (for lack
of a better word) how this one got bombed too. I would
love to drop a sack of melted peanut butter on their head,
see how they like it. Oooohh, did I really say that?!? Cheers
: )

Cute. &mdash 04/06/05 - 09:22:32 PM
Love that piano. Does kind of sound like a Squrirrel Nut
Zippers tune here and there... (they are a jazz/swing
band).

Oh, irony. Sorry your bomb-song got bombed.

What I'm really wondering is: Why do you have so many
pictures of llamas...?

uhhh &mdash 04/06/05 - 10:21:50 PM
awesome vocals.
I hate the guiro shakerrrr percussion sound or whatever it
is called. sorry, but I just hate those things.

who is the hell is mr. simpson

Love your sense of humor &mdash 04/07/05 - 03:43:39 AM
Your performance here is excellent too.
And Randy Newman and Prince have made money doing
jingles. :)

Totally cute ditty &mdash 04/08/05 - 08:06:23 AM
Totally cute. Love the jingle writing line. Barry Manilow
would be proud. Very fun, healing track. Your sense of
play and talent make a great combination. Llamas are too
shabby either.

Vibra-Slap! &mdash 04/10/05 - 10:10:45 PM
Love the vibra-slap sound! Why not use it, it's there.

Your singing is so refreshing and original. Reminds me of
Blossom Dearie. Sounds light and carefree.

And your jazz piano is very good.

What piano sound are you using?

Vibra-Slap! &mdash 04/11/05 - 12:33:59 PM
thanks for your comments John. For piano I'm using the one called "Moody
Piano". (or maybe it's called "Moody Grand", but in any case, came with GB)
