Lyrics:
Out here, it's surreal 
I'm spoon fed my meals
When my hip slips I shake and shiver
I'm losing my sight
I can't sleep at night
I don't need to eat more liver, yeah yeah yeah yeah

Don't try
Don't raise your thigh
It's only old age waistband.
 
The nurse, she takes my hand
I can't control my gland
I'm growing moobs, can't get on the under shreddies
It's getting hard to hear
The enema is near
Let's have some fiber so we can go a bit more steady
 
Old age waistband
It's only old age waistband
Old age waistband
Oh yeah
Old age waistband
They're all pasty!

Oh that is too funny.... 

Absolutely hysterical... I LOL'd .  Great job on the lyrics, Jan... really struck home.  Excellent vocal by the Bapster who wisely decided to drop the octave rather than going up on the "Don't try..." part.  Those notes there are reserved for the likes of Robby, Cian and Tony. 


Great job and a fun listen, guys!

Thanks Philz & Herb.  You gave me a chuckle as I shake and shiver.  Ed did all the heavy lifting.  Good job, Ed.  

I thought of adding some grunts and groans (like I make when trying to get up from my comfy chair) in the outtro, but I dinnit do it.

my god thank you for the laugh today.
you guys are just increadible musicians.

Hey how bout that bass man..wow,is that just punch or what..

i also thought at first the vocals werent oing to work with this well at all but as i listened
i realised it works perfect,it fits the theme of the song perfect.
Who mixed this thing? drums are sick,sick as in auesome sick !

the bass and drums carry this tune as usual,bapu the human rythm section never cease to amaze me.
the vocals are the frosting on top of that,im having propblems critiquing any of your stuff.
its just plain auesome.

Who mixed this thing? 

Blame me. Others will.

arrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrgh

I've been fooled again.












I'd have to have more bigger drum reverb.

I mean this sincerely... best use of bap-u-gog yet. The vocals seem well placed and the tonality seems right for the song.

Give the AnR man a 1% kick back.


How bout some Pro duction notes? The tracks and mix sound real nice.




best regards,
mike
