Man I got a list of a couple hundred things that I wanted to use...and that was before I attacked the internet. About 75 percent of the song came from my initial list and the other 25 from internet stuff. I should have included Milli Vanilli. Maybe in the video I will have a reference to them...some obvious lip syncing or something...I dunno BTW-any video folks out there that want to take on a project pro bono lemme know. This song could use it. Email me.
man when i was listening all i heard was bo boski or something then when i read the lyrics i separated bo bo ski and wat'n tat'n. however, my mom used to say bo bo ski wat'n tat'n (or call me and my sister that occasionally) quite a bit back in the day. i have no idea what it is or what it means but i definitely remember it.
Bobo ski wat'n tat'n is a hand clap rhyme. Some of my kids at school still use it. I remember Friday Night Videos but not Manimal.
Not bad Chance. Just FYI, Tori Amos had a song called "Glory of the 80's". Her lyrics are a bit more cynical and ironic though. Glory of the '80s I took a taxi from LA to Venus in 1985 I was electromagnetically sucked back into a party going on that night It was the glories of the ‘80s with karma drawn up in lines and two bugle boy models saying “baby it’s a freebie you sure look deprived” I had the story of O in my bucket seat of my wanna be Mustang auditioning for reptiles in their Raquel Welsh campaign in the glories of the ‘80s you said “I’m not afraid to die” I said I don’t find that remotely funny even on the space cake high and then when it all seemed clear just then you go and disappear silicone party barbies to the left and Joan of Arcs to the right no one feeling insecure we were all gorge and famous in our last lives in the glories of the ‘80s you said “the end is nothing to fear” I said blow the end now baby who do I gotta shag to get outta here and then when it all seemed clear just then you go and disappear sure you’re out there orbiting around wish I had you back now I met a drag king called venus she had a velvet hologram she said, “my husband ran off with my shaman but they love me as I am” in the glories of the ‘80s I may not have to die I’ll clone myself like that blonde chick that sings Bette Davis Eyes and then when it all seems clear just then you go and disappear
where's Culture Club? how can you go 80's without Culture Club? you could add a little "do you really want to hurt me?" to the end with the "i always feel like somebody's watching me"
I wouldn't worry about copyright infringements. Hell Vanilla Ice didn't! A fun song-had a beat similar to "Breakfast at Tiffany's". My input? If you really want to say "screw you copyrighters!", I think a great intro to the song would be the Original intro to the A-Team. Can't remember it well, but the sound of a helicopter with a voiceover saying "men acused of a crime they didn't commit...etc." then break into the song! And, oh yeah! How could you have missed breakdancing, "Breakin'" or "Beat Street"? "Purple Rain"? "Pitfall" "Three wheeler's"? Bah! I'm reminiscing already! Kudos!
Where's the hook? da da da da...eighties stuff...is this going anywhere? What's on tv? Dude, you need A hook, if not two or three. And cut the chorus to 6 measures. And work the bridge. Double accent the 1. Do you know what sound you want? Did you pick the right instruments? You asked. Y'all are clever and all that, but pop songs need pop song quality. This ain't no hootenany.
Congrats Chance. Your song got played at 10:30 am during the god-awful Marc Vandermeer show. John McClain commented that you should get out of Houston and take your talent into bigger markets (like L.A. or NYC). Both men enjoyed it thoroughly, as did I... it was a very nice change from the crappy **** I'm forced to listen to on the FM dial while running every morning. Again, congrats and good luck.

Aaaaahhh! thanks a lot, chance! i can't get this song outta my head for the life of me! very, very catchy song though. i think i dreamt about it.
maybe this is a dumb question, but oh well. why haven't you made it big yet? shouldn't your records have gone double platinum or something by now?? have you signed a major deal with a major record company yet? ok, so it was more than one dumb question...but stiil, i'm very curious. one last question...is a 70's song in due order?
