Keith Wilby Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) Shameless bubble gum pop time, complete with throw-away lyrics and a bassline knicked from Macca's "My Brave Face" 🙂 https://www.bandlab.com/post/dd79ae77-d860-ed11-819a-000d3a3eefd0 Edited November 10, 2022 by Keith Wilby New mix with organ and bongos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesse Screed Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 (edited) I like it! There is nothing wrong with a little bubble gum, even though i don't consider it that. I could hear the original The Honeydrippers doing this one! Great tune, IMO Edited November 8, 2022 by Jesse Screed 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KSband Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 Hey the Beatles wrote a lot of bubble gum hits too. Good job, another hooky tune. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MichaelJohn Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 I like it! Kinda Beatle-ish to me. Middle 60's vibe.  This tempo and song style is very shag dance style friendly.  If you up the tempo I think the song would still work, and then it would start sounding bubblegumish I think.  The wide spaced background vocals really sound amazing! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve@baselines.com Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 It's totally OK to put out bubble gum pop - the world needs more - this sounds really good. I actually even heard a little Todd Rundgren in there (I saw the light). Good show! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keith Wilby Posted November 9, 2022 Author Share Posted November 9, 2022 10 hours ago, MichaelJohn said: up the tempo Thank for your comments Michael. Sometimes I feel it's a little slow, and my wife says the arrangement is "flat", so rather than speeding it up and having to sing it all again I'm going to try punctuating the arrangement a bit first, maybe an organ or something. Failing that then I'll try a faster tempo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lynn Wilson Posted November 10, 2022 Share Posted November 10, 2022 Terrific song and performances! This may just be me, but I'd like to hear the lead vocal up a few db's. Otherwise, this is a hit waiting to happen. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
