Liner Notes
troubadette: Had a great time with these lyrics from @johnkaniecki - working with lyricists is one of my favourite things about FAWM. Thanks for letting me play, John!
Lyrics
Dancing in dorm sixty two forgetting you She laughed saying I’m crazy without a clue I sighed looked in her eyes and held her tight Baby maybe you can save me if only tonight
She said baby when ain’t hot hot I said simple my dear till it’s not
We blew up the latex gloves making odd balloons In the corner gathered beer sipping goons I twirled you under the magical mirror ball It was there and then that I knew I had it all
She said baby when ain’t hot hot I said simple my dear till it’s not
The grand leader of the band didn’t understand If I only I had a love song we’d be in demand I said sir for all its worth I got a simple tune I stole the melody from dogs barking at the moon
She said baby when ain’t hot hot I said simple my dear till it’s not I said when are the good times forgot She said simple baby till it’s not
And the tuba went oomph bah oomph op I was halfway in I couldn’t stop And the tuba went oomph bah oomph op I climbed Mount Olympus to the top
Hera was cursing Zeus who was running loose I needed an ace but I was delt the deuce I said we live only to die so what’s the use She said go fetch me another cup of electric juice
She said baby when ain’t hot hot I said simple my dear till it’s not I said when are the good times forgot She said simple baby till it’s not

Thank you! When I first read this lyric from @johnkaniecki I immediately heard it in my head for the chorus and I'm very pleased he kindly let me play!
Well done, Rose and John. Catchy as heck and fun, fun, fun!
Great imagery here! And the harmonies are great!
Thank you for your wonderful song.
The chorus really jumps out in this song - I think the melody is catch and the harmony adds a lot to it. The double-length bridge is really neat too, with an almost rap like quality. The rest of the song flows very smoothly, the prosody sounds excellent. Well done to both of you
Midi tuba had me smiling at the bridge 😀 These lyrics just flow so well with the music, it was meant to be this song! Very nice arrangement and I love the vocal harmonies 💚
this is the perfect song for a roadtrip makes me long for summer. Very nice vibe. Makes me dance about the living room.
The chorus! That harmony on the ‘baby’ is simply the best thing I’ve heard all fawm … thanks!
