Some Will Relate To This One- "AGING SUCKS" featuring the Forum Crowd Singers

The actor Maurice Chevalier famously said "Old age isn't so bad when you consider the alternative."  I say- BS... aging sucks, so I decided to write a song about it.  I figured I would need a 'crowd vocal' to make it work, and was fortunate to enlist the aid of a few forum friends to help out.  My crowd consists of-
Ed (Bapu) Kocol- 2 voices
Reece (Beagle) Bain- 3 voices
Tim (Timidi) Bowman- 4 voices
Myself- 5 or 6 voices... I don't know... I lost track
Also, special thanks to Bapu for all of his input and advice through multiple variations, iterations and mixes of the tune.
The guitarist was Grey Welkin.

Hope you enjoy it.  All comments welcome of course, and extra points if you pick up on the 2 iconic rock titles embedded in the lyrics.

    first i didn't wanna listen to this track, being afraid I would be totally depressed for the rest of the day, but after I did I found myself with a big smile on my face : ) ...at some point I visualized Iggy Pop singing that song :D :D :D

    I'm at that borderline age where $hit starts falling apart faster and faster .It seems it takes twice as much effort to keep half of what I'm trying not to loose
     
    Your song is a freaking Riot

    Now that was a fun tune... really liked the guitar solo - sweet and to the point.   And the lyrics were just great.  Where else ya gonna hear a line like "And now I’m cruising in a four door Honda"?   Or Pontiac in my case.   
     
    I forget though...  what was the point of the song?

    Yeah. Aging does suck, but so does soiling ones diaper and cutting teeth. Somehow I think our problems age with us. Nevertheless, so do the good things.The conditions have aged, but the certainty hasn't and I guess it never will.
     
    In any event, I love the tune! You crushed the grape and made wine here. Thanks for sharing and keep it going!

    Well written, funny and a catchy tune for the main riff - one that does not get out of your head easily. The guitar playing ain't half bad neither
