Excellent!

Glad to hear it!

And you're a pickle rhymer extraordinaire - don't leave that out!

I like both versions --

After listening to the second one, I got the idea to do the vox backward thru a megaphone and mix the uke a bit lower to give both a 'softer' and a bit more 'far-away' sound, then add some "scratchy" and "popping" effects to make it sound like it was recorded in the 1920s (yes, I know the subjects in the song are contemporary people - that's the joke)...

Example (and useable files) of the kinda thing I'm talkin' 'bout:
freesound dot org
partnersinrhyme dot com
99sounds dot org
and youtube Old Scratchy Record (which, of course, has links to similar clips)

I dunno - whaddaya think?

Cheers,

Oh, man...

California's just a little bit outside that "one-hour's drive" limit that you're imposing...

That song's already been written, Bill - by Sir Mix-A-Lot

Interesting song, Mojo. I like it.

Have you thought of repeating the

section, and using it as a chorus?

The lead sounds rather Harrison/Beatle-esque, at least it starts off that way...

Nicely done, sir.

There was a time when I thought that anyone who needed to use a music stand (other than for a song or two, or classical musicians who obviously need the score) was lacking or lazy.

And, like many others, there was a time when I had alla the lyrics in my head...

Then I went to having a few lyric sheets on the floor...

Then I went to keeping a small manilla file or binder on a stand...

And if I ever get back to a performing situation, I will be getting the clip to hold the iPad to the mic stand, or a stand of its own.

If a Teleprompter wad good enough for Sinatra, it's good enuff for me!

Well, you haven't met my in-laws yet - we're all (me, wife, mother- father- brother-in-law) vacationing in Yosemite right now, and my mother-in-law - while a dandy guitar player & singer - has been driving everyone up the wall the entire time. She used to be a fairly "normal-ish" person, but now is such a bundle of neuroses that we're all about ready to take her up to Yosemite Falls and...

Yes, sir - the Energy Domes (sometimes referred to as "flower pots") were worn well after they'd established themselves as a real band, and not just a novelty act.

You are again correct, sir! There were indeed Bobs "1" & "2," Bob Mothersbaugh (Guitar, Lead Guitar) and Bob Casale (Keyboards, Guitar, R.I.P. 2014), brothers of Mark Mothersbaugh (Lead Vox/Keyboards/Guitar/Frontman/The Guy With The Glasses) and Gerald Casale (Bass/Keyboards).
