You Must Beat Your Mother-The Joke Song

Ok time for a new song, this ones called The Joke Song, it's about a French girl I met at audio school, although it was unrequited love, we were the best of friends, took mushrooms together, she stayed with for me the last two weeks she was in Australia.  I still miss her!!!!  Funny that.
 
Enjoy and Peace!!!

    interesting tune..... I had a very hard time hearing the words....  ok... "those words" stood out pretty clear....

    at 48 seconds the bass sounds like it's hitting the wrong note on the bottom note. 

    A bizarre mushroom induced fantasy?

    Yea not my best work, this was recorded in 2007 and then I lost the track, then I recovered track.  I was still learning my audio engineering skills at the time and this was recorded on a Behiringer $90 preamp, into an unbalanced connection, it was recorded on a $150 AT2020 microphone.
     
    I was also experimenting at the time with my creamware cards and printing with effects, thats why the bass is a little washy, wrong att, release settings on the Creamware compressor (hope you know what creaware are/were).  Then there was the issue of 32 bit and 24 bit, I got all confused on this one back then, because I was using 32 bit effects (creamware) I started to dither as I recorded (only on this track) so as a track goes it's a bit of a dogs breakfast.
     
    I liked the idea, hence once I had recovered it I re-mixed it and put it through my expensive mastering compressor.
     
    Thanks for listening!!!
     
    Peace Ben

    Like your work Ben. Original and a little weird.  Nice story behind this piece. Post the lyrics if possible, couldn't follow them. Can't really say anything about the mix (lap top speakers). I'll try something bettter to morrow.

    Yes equality thats me a origianl and a little weird, lyrics

    You must beat your mother!!!

    You say I'm a Joke
    It dose'nt come your throat
    But I know you wrote it, I know
    And all along, I thought 
    We were singing the same song
    But I was wrong and now I feel
    Like I don't belong
    How could I be so ****en wrong
    It hurts, oh it hurts but I've gotta carry on

    I saw your eyes
    My heart it boom
    It melted too,
    Oh, Oh

    I saw your smile
    Are you kind 
    Or are you wild,
    Oh, Oh

    Repeat first section of the song

    Peace and thanks for listening
