Keep It Simple Stupid by oldrottenhead

[Oldrottenhead]

i have to thank farrell for introducing me to the expression K.I.S.S. here https://songcrafters.org/community/index.php?topic=14695.0

and i thought i have to use that phrase in a song cos it sums up my method , approach and my limited abilities.

keep it simple stupid
just a chorus and a verse
never a bridge too far
keep it simple

keep it simple stupid
some easy chords to play
nothing complicated
keep it simple

well i do what i do
with the tools i have
ten fingers and a tongue
and two feet to tap
and i do what i do
tho the notes may jar
when i do what i do
i sing from the heart

keep it simple stupid
doesn't matter if it rhymes
or even makes sense
just keep it simple

keep it simple stupid
or you'll never learn to play it
or remember how it goes
keep it simple

well i do what i do
with the tools i have
ten fingers and a tongue
and two feet to tap
and i do what i do
tho the notes may jar
when i do what i do
i sing from the heart
keep it simple
stupid

keep it simple stupid

I have said before, one voice and one guitar and you're doubly naked. In this case James, you clearly have a small one. Images of Geir's deck spring to mind.

Fuckin ace mate.

12 bar on a uke. Inspired.

I tried to pronounce "verse" like you did in the second line, and I just can't do it.

Frankly, I am %ucking infuriated that I can't do this.

I am also jealous of your ability to be so prolific...with quality.

Must take your song's advice to heart.

I am also drinking as I type. That might be your influence as well.

Peace.

Let me just say that I am completely immature, but that is pretty funny taken out of context.

[bruno]

Very nice, simple and uncluttered.

[Flash Harry]

Blooby, immaturity is the only way to approach this concept.

It fits in with both the image and the subject and allows the schoolboys mentality set to snigger behind their hands.

Fnarr fnarr.  I'm there with you Bruce.

It may be simple, but the musicallity and imagination to keep coming up with great tunes simply is,nt.
