daryl1968 Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Hello fantastic forum folks Here's a little ditty written and performed by The Forum Monkeys. We are @Bapu, @Mesh and me. Lyrics below link. Mr Quarantine Words and music by Kocol/Greenway The Forum Monkeys are Ed Kocol, Romesh Weerackoon and Daryl Greenway Chorus: I'm Mr Quarantine living on the Benzedrine I've cleaned my house three times today I'm Mr Quarantine I've worn out this week's magazine Will no-one make this go away? Verse 1: Six months of being cooped up like a Foster Farms chicken My spirits are low but my energy is high The bank account has gone through it's biggest lickin' I've given up on questioning exactly why Pre Chorus: Washed my hands until my fingers bled It's difficult to get myself out of bed repeat chorus Verse 2: I used to be comfortable in my own skin But now I'm locked down here at home Officials are telling me to let no one in My hair is so long I don't need a comb repeat pre chorus repeat chorus Bridge: If nothing changes, nothing changes We're in this fight for all of humanity This is not about our stock ranges We really need to stop this insanity repeat chorus to fade 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vechung Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 I am tired of this pandemic too. I am developing this habit of avoid people too and becoming anti-social. Just a suggestion, can you add a guitar solo as medley? It needs to be funky and fun. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Douglas Kirby Posted October 13, 2020 Share Posted October 13, 2020 Excellent lyrics and a cool song - you should post this on YouTube - maybe it will catch on there and get a bunch of listens. A fitting song for the times. The mix sounds quite good to me. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PhonoBrainer Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 I like those bass slides very much, and the Beatles come to mind with a certain Silver Hammer quality. I was still humming it an hour after I heard it. What does that tell you??? well done gents! -Tom 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUPAREELS Posted October 14, 2020 Share Posted October 14, 2020 Another laugh thanks ... Wonder what this we sound like back in the day if John / Paul did it ..cause apart from the fade out that's a ringer ... We been locked for what seems a lifetime as the wife was in hospital for 6 months last year with AML and now it starts all over again (Not the AML thank God ... the lock-down) ... and just because your a F/G songwriter I thought you might like to know when she came into the studio, we both had one of them pensive laughs you have one someone has nailed it ! Thanks Daryl S 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is one of his better vocals Daryl, I am cautious about commenting on anyone's vocals as mine are so lethal to none Wookiee life forms. I am also aware that Ed is not adverse to some light leg pulling so I reciprocate occasionally. If he as taken offence then it was not my intent, but I would ask him to return the fence when he has finished with it. His Bass playing, was as usual, up to his excellent standards. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
