Title: Bad Whiskey (Hilary & Zoltan)
Post by: Zoltan on August 14, 2022, 08:54:05 AM
Here's something special for your appraisal. It's been about a year since i did "That Girl" -collaboration with Hilary, and now i'm blessed by having done a second one!
Hilary managed to resurrect this backing track, and turn it  into a proper song. Unfortunately i didn't have the separate tracks anymore so this time the mix is based on just two tracks.

BAD WHISKEY

I'm not going to do it x2
I'm not going to put up with your crap
I'm just not into it x2
I'm far far better than that

You say the carpet don't match the curtains
Well I've got a wooden floor
So don't call me honey and don't call me baby
And don't come knocking at my door

You're like bad whiskey and I don't drink whiskey
I'm never going there again
You're like bad whiskey and I don't drink whiskey
That's not how I like my men

My dad can't stand you x2
You make the hairs bristle on the back of his neck
My dad can't stand you x2
He really does object

You're like bad whiskey and I don't drink whiskey
My dad liked all my other men (what all of them – fuck off)
You're like bad whiskey and I don't drink whiskey
I much prefer gin

You said I look like my mum and I'm one in a million (surely that's 2 in a million)
And your carpet's not gonna match your curtains
Unless you get a brazillian (it should be Hollywood but it don't rhyme)

You're like bad whiskey and I don't drink whiskey
I'm never going there again
You're like bad whiskey and I don't drink whiskey
That's not how I like my men

You say the carpet don't match the curtains
I've got decked patio flooring
So clear off sunshine and don't come back
Steer clear my cork tiled outside awning
So clear off sunshine and don't come back
You can't handle my linoleum
So clear off sunshine and don't come back
Keep your hands of my Epipremnum Falcifolium (Google it – I had to)

Wow, what a great rocking track and a fabulous collab. I googled Epipremnum Falcifolium and didn't know what to expect- turns out it's a plant.

Hi Zoltan - thanks for this. I love That Girl and I love this one too and thanks for mixing it with the fabulous ooomphy backer that you did.

and yes - Epipremnum Falcifolium is a plant - it was that or euphonium to rhyme with linoleum  :)

A cool collab. Zoltan and Hilary. The vocals/words had me smiling...a lot of humor there Hilary  :) . Zoltan, the music has a good drive to it (in a Foghat sort of way) and I like the pounding drums. Good stuff to wake me up this morning!

All whiskey is bad to me. Bad experience when I was 17. Just smelling it makes me gag. Saying that though, I'll happily drink it in a cocktail. I do like a Manhattan or an Old Fashioned.

This is good rocking number and H is on the money as usual.  Those are some of the best lyrics I've heard on this site.  Laugh out loud.  I'm off for another listening.

Bottoms up.

🥃

I once rhymed linoleum with petroleum in one of my songs but Epipremnum Falcifolium certainly sounds better than euphonium.

That takes some skill weaving in linoleum and petroleum!

Band names - me and Nick (ODH) - Hildoh  ;)

Back for more rocking goodness.  I get mesmerized by the music and the first time i heard this I didnt get all the interesting lyrics and vocal delivery.  This is worth hearing often....great job to you both!

besides the clever lyrics this song rocks.  I really love the attitude on the vocals.  I have had the priv to hear quite a few of yours Hilary and you are always good but it fits with the music so well...
and the music rocks.. driving rock goodness.  Lots of really good nuggets, the drums rock... that guitar..
this dude knows how to mix and produce...

Since I forgot this I am bumping it again... it is just too good...

Hilary is perfect for this sort of song... I remember one she did with Nigel... blistering madness...

man what a world... it is like being in a video game and when you hit a secret button it beams you into the SC site and most people would just beam out...
but the ones who stick around and listen get to hear stuff like this that almost no one else on the planet gets to... I feel lucky... really lucky...
