A songwriter is one who's proficient at every aspect of song creation, from rhythm to melody to arranging and instrumentation. Paul Simon is a songwriter, perhaps the best ever. Billy Joel, Paul McCartney, Smokey Robinson, Randy Newman, Brian Wilson, Freddy Mercury and Dolly Parton are songwriters. Now, if we're talking top 10 lyricists then Roger would definitely make the list, along with Bernie Taupin, Leonard Cohen, Bob Dylan, Joni Mitchell and Jim Morrison. I'd even tack on the somewhat controversial Neil Peart in the honorable mentions. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Notes_Norton Posted December 27, 2022 Share Posted December 27, 2022 You've got the nicest North America, this sailor ever saw, I'd like to feel your warm Brazil and touch your, Panama. - Michael Franks (from Popsicle Toes). OK it's two lines, but it's perhaps the most clever lyrics to use geography to get your hands on sensual parts of a female's body. You can squeeze my lemon ’til the juice run down my leg - Robert Johnson I'm beggin' you baby, cut out that off the wall jive You gotta treat me better, or it gotta be your funeral and my trial - Sonny Boy Williamson II I am yours, you are mine, you are what you are, You make it hard - Crosby Stills & Nash (pretty sexy for its day) I'm glad I don't live in a trailer - Jimmy Buffett Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I had already set up patches to make me sound like a variety of voices from Barry White to a little girl with some minor variations that I intended to use to make background (or even choir-like) vocals. Oh well! It would have been fun. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
