Let’s Get Obtuse!
Globally: interesting that so many folks submitted older/established sets of lyrics. I'm a compulsive fidget so I just knocked off something new in about 5 minutes before sending them off for a "beat the clock" challenge. Wound up with a new song, so that's cool. This one may even make the next long player my buddies and I just started on.
MICWALT/MOI: Rad Setzer impersonation. Just the right amount of dumb for a song that I regard as profoundly kinda silly.
RSAD/RHINO: This thing is a pretty fun faux industro-metallic take on ye olde breakup ditty. Sounds like you spent a few months hanging out at the Gas and Sip before cutting this thing.
SMUFFCOAT/DDAVE: Veddy cool. The award for Most Beatlesque Treatment of Pilfered Lyrics goes to... Sounds really good. Dug the overall mood and prettiness.
MOI/KSAUCE: I took a number of liberties figuring just by context that this thing grew up in Rootsytown. Decided to take it for a whirl at the local Dark Wave Goth Night. But my take on that sound is pretty theater geek/band weenie at his first Rocky Horror late show. The original has a neat dreamy texture that my 4/4 OR DIE self can appr but can't do.
DDAVE/BADMOTHERCLUCKER: Sweet little country pop number done in the appropriate style. Dug the conceit and the form of the lyric. Good chit.
CLUCKMASTER J/WALT: Loved the spare arrangement built around the shaker. The fee of the new version was way cool. Kinda so cool that I spaced on the lyrics...which are well put together. The OG version is slick and well made. Did you guys open for Couting Crows and The Gin Blossoms?
WHACK/CO: Great impression of the Foos impersonating The Du. Great big rock sounds. The original probably should send a check to Yoko because it's a very neat Lennon thing.
