Title: Fat Freddy (by Pipes & Redler)
Post by: Redler on March 31, 2016, 10:38:52 AM
Hi!

I posted a song on the collaborations a few weeks ago. https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=24729.0

This is third version of it...I'm  honoured :D . Orh&Ella and thetworegs did their versions earlier. I love them all and each of them are so different and unique!

Nick said that Fat Freddy is a comic character  - must check him out via google!

Thank you very much, Nick!

Thanks for listening!

ps. Nick said that this is "tongue in cheek grunge" ;D

Mr Gilbert Shelton yes we love your freaks
Freddy with his goldilocks and unwashed feet
Avoiding being busted and sofa it's crusted
Papers on the shelf where it's undusted
This madcap trio of underground fun
rollin' the joints and food in his tum
crushing empty cans and watching the tele
No food in the fridge but plenty in his belly
Freddy don't do nothing but puffing and dealing
Squeezed in tight trousers his weed is his healing
This unkempt hippy spaced out and so trippy
tight in his t-shirt so dumb and so drippy
his feline friend chases all the roaches
whilst Freddy rolls a spliff rough scent no poses
Fat Freddy maybe change your ways give up the weed just for a day
Fat Freddy maybe get a girl with similiar locks and a cat as well
Fat Freddy..Fat Freddy-go get a girl
What you got to lose..who can tell
Smokin the evil blocking out the sun
Whilst scratching his belly cause his got no hun
Freddy don't do nothing sept' puffing n' dealing
squeezed in tight trousers cause weeding is healing
Hey boys get your finger out
Just go.....
Just go get a girl....

Fabulous stuff chaps!  Furry Freak Brothers rule.  Wonder what happened to them.  Perhaps they calmed down and became accountants.  Then again - maybe not.

This is a trip! Loved the doomsday guitar riff/tone

The lyrics are excellent. Paints wonderful imagery altho the scenery ain't pretty  :D

Fine job on the vocals..and everything else for that matter.

This is one of the songs that is so unique if ya get it in your head it sticks there..like a Sabbath tune.

Top shelf collab..real well done guys!

Listened to this earlier today - excellent tune, 70's rock at its best - sounds a bit early sabbathy/uriah heep. Great stuff.

Excellent collaboration, makes me think of bands like Iron Butterfly and Vanilla Fudge. Love the backing track cool riffs and the vocal is fantastic, love the dynamics of this track.

Fat Freddy & his cat! This takes me back to my student days! I used to have a few of those comics & would read them over and over.

Great song, chaps! Superb production & performances. Loved it!
