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:
That has an honest authenticity , i LIKE it! :)
How did you get the Philharmonic Orchestra to back you up?
That's just my native skill at composition and arrangement...
...that's because GarageBand doesn't have a country fiddle patch, and the closest I could come was synth strings.
LOL
Actually funny and good timing on the words.
If you have the tracks I can sing a couple versions and send em back, free.
But, it’s kinda raunchy fun. Trying to think of a band that this would be perfect for. Name escapes me.
I’d ad lib a part “yeah but, yer Mom was loaded” or something.,
Fun song.
Well done!
Thanks again!
Hopalong Ginsberg?
There’s a Steven Wright joke there, son, and here it comes...
One day I got on the bus, and when I stepped in, I saw the most gorgeous blond Chinese girl. I sat beside her.
I said, ‘Hi’, And she said, ‘Hi’, and then I said, ‘Nice day, isn’t it?’.
And she said, ‘I saw my analyst today and he says I have a problem.’
So I asked, ‘What’s the problem?’ She replied, ‘I can’t tell you. I don’t even know you.’
I said, ‘Well, sometimes it’s good to tell your problems to a perfect stranger on a bus.’
So she said, ‘Well, my analyst said I’m a nymphomaniac and I only like Jewish cowboys... By the way, my name is Denise.’
I said, ‘Hello, Denise. My name is Bucky Goldstein.’.
Its recorded low.
You’ll need a player, not me, that can enhance.
Wow! That’s like Mikey liking my cereal!
Enjoy your virtual lollipop.
One word... Autotune.
Check out apps like Tune Me on Google Play.

It was still good! The only thing I can play is the radio!
ROTFLMAO!!!
Heard that in the 80’s at a comedy club in Dallas.
I actually spit my drink out twice. Cuz how often do you see a beautiful blonde Chinese woman and the punch line was too much.
Glad you liked the song, not sure what to do about the volume; it sounded fine to me. (Famous last words, I know.) You have GarageBand?
Thanks, I’ll take a look. Seriously, though, I genuinely prefer songwriting to performing.
“Have you dedicated this song to Chelsea?”
Well, who would the daddy be anyway in this case? Clearly, Bill ain’t the daddy. Chelsea looks NOTHING like him at all.
Thank you very much. It is NOT autobiographical. No sir. Uh uh.
I just now "got" the (lack of) rhyme with the previous line. :-)
Bravo on your Grammy-bait there, S & A!
Y’know, “If You Daddy Is Webb Hubbell and Your Mama Is Lonely” actually scans pretty well.
I am Mr Freakin’ Subtlety, I am. ;^) Thank you!
