DeeringAmps Posted April 27, 2020 Share Posted April 27, 2020 (edited) The Muse tapped me on the shoulder Friday Morning... COCKYWOMBLE Just a note of warning: may contain what some might consider Leftanista sentiments. If you are easily offended, maybe take a pass. This was "quick and dirty", but all crits are welcomed and much appreciated. tom Edited April 17, 2021 by DeeringAmps add link 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wookiee Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 @DeeringAmps well Tom I have to, hang on I am wiping the tears from my eyes so I can see to type, no good it is going to have to be an emoticon reply.?????? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bjornpdx Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 Yeah, just sorta leftanista. Don't sugarcoat it, tell us how you really feel. ? I like the clever lyrics: "embleachment" "hydroxy pox infusion" Vocal character fits the song well. IDK to me the voc could use some treatment, a little reverb or something. Maybe double tracking here and there? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhonoBrainer Posted April 28, 2020 Share Posted April 28, 2020 did I just hear impeachment rhymed with imbleachment? yes I did. full marks. Kind of a bummer I started a song with the title "cockywamble" but here you are beating me to it. Oh well, back to the drawing board! cheers, -Tom 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starise Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Tom, This is a well made tune. The lyrics are creative to say the least. I already said too much on another "politically leaning" post not long ago that I probably should have left unsaid. I guess in hindsight music is a good way to release frustration of the "powers that be" . Who needs soap operas? Just watch a news channel. I am primarily a policy directed person and personalities or people a few fries short of a happy meal really don't influence my thinking on laws or policies so long as we are at least headed in the right direction. I see a merge of everything political because the platforms voted on seldom produce the results intended. I have thick skin. I do get tired of the constant pounding a certain fake red head takes. Yes he asks for it a lot of the time. His doody really does stink too.It's a circus....it really it is. People on my FB account just won't give it a rest though.......like how do you want it today T sitting down or bending over? I seldom let it occupy my thoughts. This was a fun look at the whole C-virus political thing done in a very creative way. Kudos for that. One day I hope we can all look back on it like a small bump in the road 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bajan Blue Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Tom this is great - I love the lyrics and personally I think they sound totally sane to me not leftist at all..........and at the moment I am stuck in Cape Town (well actually I'm stranded, can’t get back home to Barbados until goodness knows when) Unfortunately what goes on here sometimes (I did say sometimes!!) makes The Donald almost seem normal!! We have had for the past 5 weeks an army enforced total lock down - you are only allowed outside to buy food. Which is OK for me as I have a house and some money but for many millions in South Africa the reality is no food and being kept in your squatters shack 24/7 - we have already killed through starvation, other illness, hunger or the Police / Army more people than have died through this Covid virus............and in two months we have only had 86 covid related deaths So is Covid a jolly good excuse for a silent coup d’état - we do so love a good coup d'état here in Africa!!!! Many of our songs have a political message so good on you I say!! Great job Nigel 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Kirby Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 That's a cool tune Tom - a cool blues/rock number. I liked your vocal - it has a bit of grit to it - just right for the song. I thought the bass could be turned up a bit in the mix - just my opinion - I listened through headphones. The piano was a nice touch for the mix. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark skinner Posted April 29, 2020 Share Posted April 29, 2020 Great Job! Those were some pretty tricky lyrics , well sung , played and mixed. Sounds like you've been pretty busy. Really enjoyed it .. mark 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best to take a deep breath and a step back. We far more in common than we have differences... Thanks one and all for being so generous with your time and ears. Actually Tuesday was the 68th anniversary of my birth (I hate "birthday") Your kind comments and support made it one I will never forget. Please all stay safe, drop your hands one time and any good heavyweight will put you on the canvas. We are all fighting "way above" our weight... Luv ya all, t but that don't mean I want to take long hot showers with ya! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vechung Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Hi Tom Very funny and nicely done. It reminds me of some of the BTO songs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy j Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Absoflippinlutely brilliant. The lyrics are creative, clever, and humourous. The music is well done and sets up an emotional stage for the lyrics. The video is perfect! Comedic satire is a great way to introduce thought in a clever way. My grandma (in her tactful way) used to say that tact is the art of giving others your way. Sometimes tact must be abandoned to make a point. The point is well made in this piece. The pandemic is a threat to human life and the economic situation will not improve until this threat is removed. We most definitely are all in this together.

Bajan Blue Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Hi Tom The video is great and adds to the song - whenever I think that Africa has the monopoly on lunatic / corrupt Political leaders, there's always something about The Donald that reminds me we ALL suffer from Political schisters in one way or another - or they are just plain stupid crooks - that's more our line down here!!!!! Cool job Nigel 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
