Fun little thing with mostly nonsense lyrics. Them’s the shakes of one song a week, folks. I’m just not the quickest lyricist.
Channeling They Might Be Giants on this one. Had fun taking a very simple guitar line and mixing genres, producing odd sounds to go along with the acoustic. If I hadn’t already seen three to four hundred songwriters standing on stage with macbooks and acoustics over the last five years, I might consider this a direction to take. Although, I much prefer the idea that a live band could produce this sound.
