Title: I Heart Zombie (Hilary)
Post by: Hilary on February 07, 2021, 07:32:50 AM
2 tracks - 1 vox and uke and 1 surprise  :D

(https://songcrafters.org/forum/index.php?action=dlattach;topic=30680.0;attach=191172)

This is the surprise - it's a Stylophone - it's got the Hokey Cokey on in case you were wondering  :D

I Heart Zombie

I'm in love with a Zombie
He's not much to look at its true
I'm in love with a Zombie
He reminds me a lot of you

I'm in love with a Zombie
He might not seem the ideal mate
But he doesn't snore and he doesn't nag
(well he might moan a bit)
And he'll never steal the last chip off my plate
Boom, boom, boom

I'm in love with a Zombie
He's in pieces when I leave
I'm in love with a Zombie
It might seem hard to believe
I'm in love with a Zombie
He's got a roving eye
But as long as I catch it quick enough
He can always try and pop it in the other eye, socket
Boom, boom, boom

Instrumental

I'm in love with a Zombie
He hasn't got a clue
I'm in love a Zombie
His name is Hugh
I'm in love with a Zombie
It's good enough for me
Coz he doesn't drink and he doesn't smoke
And he always puts the bins out, eventually
Boom, boom, boom

I'm in love with a Zombie

Is that a stylophone with the battery running out?! :-)

This is fantastic. Clever, funny and sweet.

The lyric is brilliant, and you perform it all perfectly.

Brilliant from start to finish! I laughed out loud reading the words, and then was in stitches through the actual track, your performance is fantastic. I loved the solo, a brilliant touch, and the "Hugh" part is great as well.

It's absolutely fabulous, everyone is rightly saying so.....

Pure class!

This would be so good live... who needs expensive kit when you nailed it with a Stylophone!

Hilary, you have a great sense of humor. This is a hoot! Loved the lyrics which had me smiling ear to ear. The instrumentation was creative and fun. All i could think of was those zombies from The Walking Dead series. This is why i love music... nothing is out of bounds...

I like your style and it reminded me of Victoria wood when she use to write comedy songs like this and play the guitar, like the lyrics  :)
