That Thing You Do

[freddy j]

It has been a while since I have participated on the forum.  Small matters have interfered with my participation.  Small matters such as illness and two hurricanes which cut a path through the Tampa Bay area within a few weeks of each other.

Now that that is over with -- I am submitting a song.  It is a silly little love song that has bits and pieces of Blues, soul and pop embedded in it.  So, I am not sure in which genre it should be placed.

As always, I would be grateful for any comments, Crit.'s, suggestions, etc. that might help me improve it and carry over to any future songs.

Thanks.

To my ears, it's Motown meets the Travelling Wilburys. Very enjoyable.

A few timing issues here and there but then it kinda adds to the charm. Good lyrics. After decades of listening to Peter Gabriel it's refreshing to hear frivolous lyrics 👍
