Crisis du Jour (what's yours?)
The FM went into a virtual room. Flung some stuff around. This is what came of it. Crisis du Jour Written and performed by Jan Eiken, Ed Kocol and Daryl Greenway Verse 1: You never call until your world is falling apart and so we speak most every day I try to mend your broken heart. and as I lose my voice you say that you've been dropped out from the will and just when it couldn't get much worse You tell me you've missed Dr Phil Chorus (1): Aliens in Thousand Oaks Are taking over for sure Now I want to know please tell me What's your crisis du jour? I hope they find a cure For your crisis du jour. Verse 2: You hardly stir unless you're out complaining again and still you seek someone to blame when your sky is falling in and as they run away. You plan a move to higher elevation Trying to avoid the rising tide Thanks to Honey Boo-Boo's revelation Chorus (2): Monkeys loose in New York state are knocking at my door Trying to avoid what they throw at me What's your crisis du jour? I hope they find you a cure For your crisis du jour. Middle bit The boss man says why are your projects forever late? You stare at him in wonder trying to hold back bitter distaste He's the reason for the hold ups, something you'll never say out loud It's the way you make a daily choice just to keep this job and say you're proud Chorus (3): Earthquakes in Californiashire are becoming quite a bore Ask them in Mission Viejo What's your crisis du jour? I hope they find a cure For your crisis du jour I hope they find a cure For your crisis du jour Forum Monkeys

Um a private track oops!  So I go digging and I find Crisis du Jour sounds good here.

First, I love the song title.
I am a big Ska fan. You are a perfect Madness if you added a bit more weight to the song.
Keep them coming because I will keep listening.
Wishing you many successes.

yea....really enjoy this....I think I'd pull back the keys part (doing the back beat)....it kinds took over my mix and made it hard (for me) to focus on the vox...
really like the tune tho!!!

I think this needs a big bass boost. Well played and sung. Very nice groove. Very good lyrics too. Pump up the bass and this will sell!

I see a musical pattern occuring. I like it. Another song from my homeland it sounds like. Really interesting. i agree with LanceJ. A bit more heaviness(weight) would really "pomp you op". Bass, I can't tell you how and wouldn't blame you if you didn't change anything. I like this a lot.

The lyrics were done overnight, but it took two weeks to clean up after the monkeys.  Thanks for listening and you kind words.
