Sounds well here, as noted well balanced open mix.
 
Thanks for sharing.
 
On the "bad words" front just give a mention that your song may contain some words people might find offensive.

Thanks.  I made the change.  It had been posted that way on the Sound Cloud link.  I just failed to do it here in the forum.  Sorry about that.

I listened the other day but was not sure how to respond. I agree the mix is well done and I love the sassiness of it. It reminds me of Steely Dan.
 
Well done.


Thanks.  Yes, people individually, including my wife and brother-in-law, have said its got a Steely Dan sound to it.  It was not intentional though I do like Steely Dan.  I'm a big believer that you can't help things come out in your music that you like.

+1, but not the lyrics Good groove, and tasty solos.


Thank you.  And, sounding like Steely Dan seems to be a common comment.

Very unusual idea: a character assasination number, something like John Lennon's How Do You Sleep(or Dylan's positively 4th Street), couched in a smooth blues rock rock groove, reminiscent of the Atlanta rythm section. The lyrics are an unrelenting series of ad hominum attacks and generic insults directed at some loser fellow whom you liken to a disposable female hygiene device. Given all that, I think its pretty darn cool, with double entendres and unexpected rhymes in the lyrics. I don't think I've ever heard 'dick' and 'prick' rhymed before in a song. I really like the contrast of the smooth, seductive 70's instramental, with the abusive, angry lyric. Production values are really good. Cool project, overall.


Thank you very much!  You, my friend, should review songs for a living. 
 
While I was writing the song I realized that "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch" came to mind only in that both songs are unrelenting in their character assassinations.  Except, in Douchebag, it's not only the singer that feels this way as his feelings are shared with is co-workers.

Sounds like a great mix here.  Real clean, everything is balanced and well placed, and the parts are nicely played.

Well, it describes people I have known, and probably have been, from time to time, in my life. lol... 
 
It definitely has a Steely Dan feel to it. Maybe a bit of a Black Friday feel? I really like the guitar work. And the mix sounds great. Nice Work.
