I got David Bowie meets Parliament! A very fun listen. Sometimes I couldn't make out the lyrics, but I did catch you are 71 years old? If so that's effing fantastic that you got this psychafunkic thing together. It's a head bobbing toe tapper.

Mix-wise maybe the panned left cymbal hits come through a bit too strong, just my .02. Love the other funky instrument ear candy choices.

cheers,

-Tom

 Jack , Great song ! I Loved the instrumentation. Lots of cool different stuff going on but all in the same  direction.  I think the vocals need some minor attention. I think the main vocal needs some more "highs" and a very Small amount of reverb. The high vocal need centering a little and backed down some. There's a few spots where it's out of sync with the main but nothing real bad.    Anyway ..  just my opinion.  Great work !      mark

Hey Jack, if you go on tour, I'll play the bongos.  Your stuff is sooo entertaining.

Love the accompanying bits in the background. Nicely arranged.  Couldn't make out a lot of the lyrics tho.
I'll add this one on my list of your top 5.

That was a fun listen - the song and the mix - the volume was a bit low for me while listening through my cans - only crit.

This is a fabulous song, Jack!  I like everything about it except that I couldn't understand all the lyrics easily.  Your words and voice are good enough to shine if you let them.  All in all, your creativity is off the charts!
