Straumpu & The CHC (aka The Coffee House Choir) proudly present My Pal Mooch (song idea and lyric inspired by Old55).

We also want to thank jamesg1213 for his most excellent lead guitar work. And Straummy gets special mention for the solo at 3:22. 
The CHC (this time) are: Julibee, Old55, Beagle, timidi, Daryl1968, Beepster and 57Gregy.

This song was the participants "wedding gift" to Mooch, who will be getting married on August 25th, 2012.


My Pal Mooch <---- Soundcloud link
(Inspired by Old55)
I remember the thirty-five sweet hot dogs 
When Mooch took me to the hot dog stand 
Up in Chicago 
It was still September 
When his daddy was quite surprised 
To find his Hofner was still at Frank's 
Out in California 
We kept watching the Stones DVD 
When Mooch told me, look at Christina 
I said oh no 
Watching it again won't do


CHORUS: 
Well I did not think that Mooch 
Could be so cruel 
But I'll keep singing songs 
For my pal Mooch

Mooch has seen Lew, standing outside his door 
Very soon he's gonna complain 
All about Dora 
You know Lew can't stand her 
Doing what she did before 
Playing Mississippi Queen 
Waggin' her hairy tail 
Well I hear the whistle but I can't go 
With the Beagle down to Mexico 
Mooch said oh no 
It's a Dora weekend for you

CHORUS

So if Mooch wants me 
To stand up at his wedding 
That'll be the day I go 
Back to Chicago 
You know Dora has missed me 
Sleeping up on Mooch's couch 
And the Coffee House wants us to 
Turn on that old Mooch cam 
Well I hear the whistle but I can't go 
With the Beagle down to Mexico 
Mooch said oh no 
The chosen one says it won't do.


CHORUS

James! Strummy!  Great work, boys!  :):):)

Wow, this sounds so different than the backing track you sent... It's really great!  Nice job, everyone.  Thanks for letting me play along.

great backing vocals - specifically the male voice that is singing the 5th harmony on the chorus - brilliant

Woot!  Woot!  What Julibee said. 

Thanks for letting me tag along, too. 

Bravo.  You ought to send this to Fagen and Becker for inclusion on their greatest hits album.  Or Weird Al.

@Jules - that was the WIP backing track. ThatOrEd/Bapu did his bass since then and added percussion to the outtro and changed the drumkit and the boyz did their geetars to be sure.
@Jan and Jules - You are not tag alongs, you're in the band (NagBap is now installed and fully operational Bapu has informed us)

For those listeners that care about the particulars:

jamesg1213 is on the left and the solos, Straummy is on the right and the solo at 3:22
Bapu used his Alembic. Did he tell you he has an Alembic?
Drums are EZDrummer Metalheads (on a Schteely Dang song???!!!????)
Piano is Ivory II - Close C7 Club
