Song submitted.
Searched around the house for some things to bang for the real percussion bit of the challenges, tea cups, feather dusters, hands.
Preview here if anyone is interested:

New to this but I have to say this weekly challenge really takes your mind of the whole lockdown thing.
Peace all

Re: Don't let the glasses fool you (Miss Lovely Eyes prefight)
I am working on a song that would be nice for a 60s beat group. It has some handclaps (optional challenge).
The final mix will be send through a mono tube amp. It's retro time!

Re: Don't let the glasses fool you (Miss Lovely Eyes prefight)
I finished mixing mine last night but will sit on it to see if there's any changes I want to make, but I think it's pretty much done. I tried something new this time around with recording and recorded all my vocals with my iPhone and the wired apple headphones using an app called Voloco. I'm surprised with how well the recording quality sounds and will definitely be using it again in the future, I think next time I will record the main vocals with my old school pc/condenser mic set up and backing vocals with the iPhone. The app has a lot of vocal processing settings so it will be fun to play around with more of it in the future!

I'm in. Like Heine, I will be submitting some 60's bubblegum pop about pining for someone. Channeling Gerry and the Pacemakers or something like that

Re: Don't let the glasses fool you (Miss Lovely Eyes prefight)
I'm in too. Last week I tried to write a mixed 3/4 and 4/4 song and failed to come up with anything good. This week I tried to write something with a single time signature and end up with a decent song with both 3/4 and 4/4 parts, go figure.

C Em
Idle talk with the boys down on the boardwalk
C Em
Saltwater taffy up the pier where the tourists shop
Fmaj7 Am
She’d be gone long before the autumn frost
Fmaj7 Am
Just clamshell air, creosote stairs and some car exhaust
D F
Those days are lost
Ohhh Miss Lovely Eyes
She charged me once for a side but she gave me plate of fries
I was still a couple years too young to drive dad’s car
But I always made a point to put a dollar in the mason jar
At the snack bar
Jimmy said that she was a cousin of some of those Bixby boys
A full head taller than me and I was playing with toys
She could have probably taken her pick of all the guys
Maybe I’d forget her in November when the snowflakes fly
Oh who was I
Ohh Miss Lovely Eyes
I won five tickets at the ring toss but I don’t want their prize
It would be too late by the time I finally asked her on a date
Even if I did, who’s to say that we would even relate
E7 Am
Maybe some day when everythings changed 10 years from now
E7 Am
We’ll recognize each other but we won’t know how
Fmaj7 Am
And I won’t be some kid who had to ride his bike to town
Fmaj7 Am
And she won’t be the girl who’s sick of hanging round
D F
Selling burgers at the fairgrounds
C Em
Ohhhhhh Miss Lovely Eyes (repeat C-Em, repeating the title)

Re: Don't let the glasses fool you (Miss Lovely Eyes prefight)
In with a little ditty, exploring the idea of falling for someone without having seen their entire face, or being within 6 feet of them. (The pics of that contest were helpful). All my drums are technically electronic so experimented with mixing digital style drums with analog style drums, which I have done quite a bit in the past. Hope you all enjoy.

Re: Don't let the glasses fool you (Miss Lovely Eyes prefight)
A friend wrote some lyrics and we've recorded the outline of a song -- it's already well past the deadline, but I'll see if I can get something in before the fight is posted.
