Hello,

I used a list of 3 letter words from thefreedictionary.com and wrote a song (with a bit of artistic licence) using only the words from the list.

Garageband - drums, bass and piano and 2 vocal tracks.

I'm not sure whether it needs an intro so I'll take advice on that . . .

Why ban the bra say sum one way ago
She try, she run, big jug
She saw, she rub raw
She try hot-tub
She wet now, aha
She try hot-tub
She wet now, aha

She say bye too ban the bra
She not too old now
She say bye too ban the bra
She not too old now
She say bye too ban the bra
She not too old now
She dip her toe
Hot tub hot

She say bye too ban the bra
She not too old now
She buy new red bra
She dip her toe, hot tub hot

She sit and sew
She sit and sew she hum too low
She sit and sew
She sit and sew she hum too low

She say bye too ban the bra
She not too old now
She say bye too ban the bra
She not too old now
She say bye too ban the bra
She dip her toe
Hot tub hot

Sky dim
she not too not too old now
hot tub hot

she had fun all day inn sun
and cat has new red ham arc

Loving this new electro-y direction, there's some crazy sounds here that combine together really well. I love the groove as well, it's really infectious. The lyrics have a kind of cod-Oriental feel to them and they create a suitably off the wall narrative for a cut up song. Very different and very enjoyable.

I think it works as it is, but something similar to the outro would also work as an intro if you wanted to add something at the start.

Very very good. Such great fun, had me smiling away here. Vocal delivery was absolutely brilliant. You know exactly where to put emphasis for effect. Whacky, cool noises, really well put together in GarageBand. Fab.

Really reminds me of Ian Dury and the Blockheads for some reason. Funky, fun and brilliant. We can hear you're really getting to grips with Garageband. Love the sound of that clav.

The lyrics hit just the right balance between nonsense and profound. It all really works.

'and cat has new red ham'. That was my favourite line. Could be completely profound :-)

Nice one!

Oh dear- it's meant to be new red hammock ham arc (better to hear than read) as in she's not wearing the bra and the cat is using it to sleep in (err large cups) always works out better when I explain what's in my head !!!

I am a huge Ian Dury fan btw.

Quirky composition , great idea to have used 3 letter words in the song , it works really well with the musical theme you have chosen and i really enjoyed listening to the tune , thinking outside the box is always a winner , and this is a winner !!

GUD JOB HIL !!!
