Musically not what I was expecting before I hit play, but it's a fine blend, indeed.

Fabtastic!

Kind of new wave 80's sound to this, i liked the flow of the song, well recorded  and likeable tune

Have you ever been to North Carolina? You seem to know it like a native. It's a nice place to visit, but... (You know the rest.)

Definitely an 80's new wave feel. You're pouring a little fertilizer on a tobacco-related song idea that wants to grow in my head.

I am cracking up cackling like a North Carolina guinea hen...
laughing my head off and getting a little mad because I can't read some of the news article with the hot sauce and tobacco on it...lol...
NC could probably be heading up the Delta 9 revolution but apparently tobacco is ok and the other is not? 
anyway... man you hit a home run.. I am going to have to share this with everyone around... fun, funny, swirly music...
and yes... you are a native... where did you get that Moose thing with Singapore and China?

I now long for the video with oversaturated colors and occasional kaleidoscoping. Super good mix. Love the stereo imaging here. Ahh, those synth sounds... This was fun as hell.

I would not have expected those lyrics, but then I have to ask myself "why not"?  And, in this case I think the Finnish accent helps convey the story :)  What's the deal with "Texaspea hot sauce" though?  Is that a real thing?  Is it made in, or especially popular in North Carolina?

As usual the backing music and mix/master is great.

Nice catchy little tune.
Kinda reminds me of something the B52,s would do.
80s feel indeed .
Nice one.

Actually Texas Pete is made in NC!  lol... a man sued Texas Pete because of it.  I don't know the outcome though.  Texas Pete is a staple here too.  I would say you can get it at just about any restaurant around these parts.  Some (me) like it on the eggs (any way).  For sure it is quite popular on chicken (especially fried).    I used it sparingly in the vegetable beef gumbo I just made. 
cool question Doug!

Yes, a cool 80's vibe as mentioned. Top class job on every way and the chorus is so catchy, I mean the entire song is catchy. Brilliant job, Zoltan!

Cool track with a nice 80's feel and clever lyrics. Very well mixed too.

Has a kind of divine comedy sound to the vocal from the 80's works a treat

Yeah, an interesting tune Zoltan. I think you own the quirky style on this site. Steve owns the downright bonkers. I do like the almost crooning vocal style in a few places. But you switch it up with that 80's almost Depeche Mode vocal too. Those poor Chinese... I guess nobody taught them how to chill!
