My Pal Mooch - A SchteelyDang Production

Straumpu & The CHC (aka The Coffee House Choir) proudly present My Pal Mooch (song idea and lyric inspired by Old55).

We also want to thank jamesg1213 for his most excellent lead guitar work. And Straummy gets special mention for the solo at 3:22. 
The CHC (this time) are: Julibee, Old55, Beagle, timidi, Daryl1968, Beepster and 57Gregy.

This song was the participants "wedding gift" to Mooch, who will be getting married on August 25th, 2012.


My Pal Mooch <---- Soundcloud link
(Inspired by Old55)
I remember the thirty-five sweet hot dogs 
When Mooch took me to the hot dog stand 
Up in Chicago 
It was still September 
When his daddy was quite surprised 
To find his Hofner was still at Frank's 
Out in California 
We kept watching the Stones DVD 
When Mooch told me, look at Christina 
I said oh no 
Watching it again won't do


CHORUS: 
Well I did not think that Mooch 
Could be so cruel 
But I'll keep singing songs 
For my pal Mooch

Mooch has seen Lew, standing outside his door 
Very soon he's gonna complain 
All about Dora 
You know Lew can't stand her 
Doing what she did before 
Playing Mississippi Queen 
Waggin' her hairy tail 
Well I hear the whistle but I can't go 
With the Beagle down to Mexico 
Mooch said oh no 
It's a Dora weekend for you

CHORUS

So if Mooch wants me 
To stand up at his wedding 
That'll be the day I go 
Back to Chicago 
You know Dora has missed me 
Sleeping up on Mooch's couch 
And the Coffee House wants us to 
Turn on that old Mooch cam 
Well I hear the whistle but I can't go 
With the Beagle down to Mexico 
Mooch said oh no 
The chosen one says it won't do.


CHORUS

All are welcome to participate in The CHC. Contact SteveStrummerUK or Bapu. 

Bravo.  You ought to send this to Fagen and Becker for inclusion on their greatest hits album.  Or Weird Al.

Take a bow gentle lady and gentlemen.

Take a bow gentle lady and gentlemen.

Beagles don't bow.  Just sayin'. 
 
 
 
Congratulations to Mooch!
 
 
 
 
thanks bapu and Steve for allowing me to participate!
 
thanks everyone for the comments and for listening!

Bapu, Your harmonies sound really good.  I mix harmonies way louder and wider than most people and that is controversial.  Yours are mixed well.  Thanks for sharing.

This was simply awful. The vocals were about the worst I have heard. I was hoping that the solo at 3:22 might save the song but it was pretty thin sounding and lame. Sorry to say.

@Lynn - Thanks for listening. I'm sure they (F&B) would simply laugh at this feeble attempt

@Daryl - yeah that cat is the bees knees

@Wookiee - Thank you oh furry one for the drop in and listen

@Mr. Bill - I'm anxious to hear your next offering (after the flu is gone)

@Beagle - Nooooooo, thank you for participating, my friend.

@57Gregy - Thanks for playing along on this one too

@konradh - Thanks for stopping by and the kudos on the harmonies mix

@Robby - My Fender was too tired to play this time. I used my (ahem) Alembic on this tune. Have you ever heard of Alembic basses Robby???? They are the bees knees. You should get one!!

@Mooch - How did you get pistolepete's password?

@Robby - For some, a parody is over there head. BTW, I'm not a half good bass player either

it wouldn't be a party without Pissedoff Pete - who brought the dip?

I was going to make popcorn, but my dentist told me to wait until the permanent crown is in.

Straumpu and The CHC


@Jules - that was the WIP backing track. ThatOrEd/Bapu did his bass since then and added percussion to the outtro and changed the drumkit and the boyz did their geetars to be sure.
@Jan and Jules - You are not tag alongs, you're in the band (NagBap is now installed and fully operational Bapu has informed us)

For those listeners that care about the particulars:

jamesg1213 is on the left and the solos, Straummy is on the right and the solo at 3:22
Bapu used his Alembic. Did he tell you he has an Alembic?
Drums are EZDrummer Metalheads (on a Schteely Dang song???!!!????)
Piano is Ivory II - Close C7 Club
Horns are from the base Kontakt library
Percussion in the outtro is EZDRummer Latin Percussion
Cowbell is from EZDrummer Pop

Bapu is on lead vocals. Beagle is on the two part harmony lines. Jan and Jules are on the Chicago lines and the word Chicago includes Daryl1968 and timidi. The entire CHC is on the chorus.

I'm in the band!  Cool.  Where are the groupies?  
I did a duet with Jules!   I'm a little surprised and very honored.  

I liked the intro, it really hooked me.  I was not expecting what came next, so thats cool.

It sounds like music from those buddy TV shows from the 80's, so on this level I think you have been successful.  I have been watching re-runs of Simon and Simon over the last few weeks.

Ok the mix is good but the snare is a little weak and sax sound, sounds a little weird.

But over all, it's actually an enjoyable listen.

Peace Ben

Do NONE of you have day jobs?

Wait.


This ISN'T my day job???  That can't be right. 

daryl1968


it wouldn't be a party without Pissedoff Pete - who brought the dip?

 
I think he made his own way here Daryl
 
 

OK, so far......

it's simply awful, needs a proper singer and fatter guitar players, the snare is weak, the sax is weird, it needs more cowbell, the horns need more air and my Fender don't sound like my Alembic (or is it t'other way 'round?) and that guy doing the 5ths BGV is the best thing we've got going for us. 

Oh yeah, and we all need to get day jobs.

Have I got it right?

And Mooch has not even weighed in yet.

We also want to thank jamesg1213 for his most excellent lead guitar work. And Straummy gets special mention for the solo at 3:22. The CHC (this time) are: Julibee, Old55, Beagle, timidi, Daryl1968, Beepster and 57Gregy.

 
WOW thanks to Bapu for all the time and people he put into this project. What a great wedding gift. From his heart.
 
 
I have been busy this past week merging two homes in to one moving and getting ready for wedding and what not..... when Bapu keeps pestering messaging me about a song we were working on. When I finally listen I find it wasnt our song at all.
 
Only Bapu could come of with an idea to tourcher and make my ears bleed with his bad vocals colaborate on a cover song as a precious wedding gift!
 
 
Seriosuly everyone -- really fun thing you all did ....
 
and Thank You Bapu for your gift!
 
Now I must drive the "step daighter" to her 3:30 appointment -
 
then un pack more ....
 
oh joy!
