You Must Be #@%&tin' Me

NSFWLiner Notes
I found a rough sketch demo of this forgotten song on my phone from the fall of 2024. It felt a little cathartic to record a super rough blues song, a mere 15 months later.
Lyrics
Are you shittin' me? Are you shittin' me? You're really gonna do this again? You must be pulling my leg Or just fucking with me Because this just couldn't be true
You must be shittin' me You gotta be shittin' me All you can say is that's it's all right But it's not all right It's not all right
Time and again you hear of history Repeating itself again and again But the echoes of ineptitude Are haunting me We're actually gonna do this again?

The Fall of 2024 was rough and we all had that same question in your title. I like the line the echoes of ineptitude haunting me again. It is inexplicable. But here we are. Glad u dug that one up. I like what u got going musically too. Jazzy Joe 😀
I shit you not. We are living the dumpster fire of history. Played live, this could be a crowd pleaser.
Oy, dumpster fires abound! I’d love to play this live at the Kennedy Center.
You capture that speechless disbelief. How can we be locked in this same sad dance again. Ugggh. What the blues and cuss words were built for. Sputter. Sputter. Ugggh.
Thank you for the words of support and also for your support of the blues and cussing, it’s come down to that; I liked your comment “locked in the same sad dance again” sounds like you might have a song there.
Yup, and that was only the beginning. Love the bluesy guitar work you have on here. The drums are cool too. I could totally see this one being done live with your band. I think it would go over super well and it’s the type of song you could improvise with lyrically and musically. Add more you gotta be shitting me things in the verses. I said it before but I’ll say it again, I really love your guitar work on here. This is excellent. And infectious!
