Obsolete - new original song
Hi folks - here's another new one from us three The Forum Monkeys are Jan Eiken (old55), Ed Kocol (Bapu) and Daryl Greenway (daryl1968) https://soundcloud.com/forummonkeys/obsolete Obsolete Written and performed by Jan Eiken, Ed Kocol and Daryl Greenway Chorus It still works well There's no support Toss it away Back to the store before... V1 Tech marches on Last week's phone has come and gone And the next big thing is on the way But you know where we'll be come launch day? We'll be camping out before the dawn To buy before my friends awake Before they even Yawn It's 5am for heaven's sake Chorus V2 All you need is RAM (ram is all you need) The home PC is homeless and they don't give a damn Tablets rise as laptops wane Servers crash but the cloud remains i don't know where my data's gone I've been hacked but I'll soldier on Updates all the time Faster, smaller, thinner, lighter, they really are sublime Chorus Middle bit What do i do with the useless pile of junk cluttering up my man cave...I mean garage i could give the neighbors a yard sale but I'd have to deal with the barrage Of requests for some better stuff, them stomping off in a huff While I shove all this obsolete junk in a trunk Chorus Coda I'm sitting on the edge of my seat Waiting til we become obso.............

Enjoyable little ditty that translates well with your normal quality and standard. A round of applause to you all. Thanks for sharing  Note the above is probably all now wrong or obsolete because of a remix.

I enjoyed this, it was made better by the fact that BAPU was behind the mic instead of in front of it. I'm not sure about the low-fi affect on the vox. I see where you were going with the effect, so maybe it works.

Sounds like a song for luddites  very funny. I liked it, in a far off world and in the days of yore you would have had a few hit's. Ben
