"Your Daddy Was Drunk and Your Mama Was Lonely" - my first country song [mega-vanity]
Me, via YouTube ^ | 7/31/14 | Me, as "Hopalong Ginsberg"

Posted on 07/31/2014 1:05:12 PM PDT by Slings and Arrows

After a great deal of hard work and numerous cuss words I've finally recorded my first song. The song is titled "Your Daddy Was Drunk and Your Mama Was Lonely," and I don't think that I can add much to that. If you like country music, or even if you don't, I'd appreciate if you'd give it a listen and give me your honest opinion. (Yes, I know what I'm in for by saying that, and no, no Butthurt Report Form will be necessary.)

A few quick notes:

1) When I registered with ASCAP "Slings and Arrows" was taken, so I used "Hopalong Ginsberg" instead. (A free virtual lollipop to those who catch the reference.)

2) Yes, I know what my voice sounds like. That's why I'm an aspiring songwriter instead of singer.

3) If you like the song, or even if you don't like the song, you can download the MP3 for free here. Take two, they're small.

4) So that I have an excuse to ping my kitty ping list:

I’m not familiar with them - time to hit YouTube. Any suggestions?

Like I said, I wasn’t familiar with them. ;) Sounds like Cthulhu’s favorite country band.

Loved it; even the SPousal Unit gave it her seal of approval.

Forgot to mention, I posted the link, plus the lyrics, on my FB page. You were up to 194 hits when I just checked.

I appreciate it - I really hope that this thing goes viral. (Much like Ebola, but with less hemorrhaging.)

(Some day when I’m feeling silly I plan to do a techno-remix.)

Well there IS a techno version of Cotton Eyed Joe.

One of my basketball-player and pub afterwards friends, the recently retired police chief of a small town nearby, wrote a funny generic country song, aptly titled “A Country Song”. Maybe I’ll post that on a new thread, since I don’t want to hijack yours!

Well, I sure wasn’t going to use what it did rhyme with.

Duck, cluck, tuck, muck, chuck...

But it will be lyrics only, as I am too technologically challenged to record it and post it with out my grandchildren in attendance!
