I'll probably do Leaf Blower. It sounds easier.
From spoken word to actual singing, I can screw up any style with style.

"How do You Like the Colors" practically sang its own hook to me. I have to be in now. Wife's away, kids asleep, bread's rising, not quite in the mood yet for Star Wars...
Okay, here we go.

I really want to be in "How do you like the colors?", but I'm the worst lyricist on earth! Then again, the only way to improve is practice.
We'll see how it goes.

Since we can't hold a candle to Mr. Henley, Phunt phunts questions about colors.

I've got lyrics written and scratch tracks recorded for How Do You Like The Colors. We'll see how much of a difference it makes having written a song so early in the week. I'll probably use the extra time either fine-tuning the production or second-guessing the song entirely. Maybe both.

hmmm, I think my penchant for over-sentimental songs about mundane garden tools will prevail this week.

Whew!!! Finally back in the SF saddle again after a long stint of work. Looks like Gert might reunite again for another diddy about Leaf's wife. Uh.... I didn't mean that it's another diddy that we've written..... uh *sweating* where's Freudian when you need her........ maybe I should've stayed away longer......

The Special Relatives regret to inform you that despite having officially retired from the world of music, they got some new software that they just had to try out. It is called Soundtrack Pro, and it is a little like Garageband, but with the ability to modify effects any time in a song. Cover your ears if you want to live. The song is called: How Do You Like the Colors. I'm sorry. That is all.
