Stunning, cunning stunts

Liner Notes

This one is a bit rocky for me.

I have no idea what the time signature is, I recorded the rhythm guitar first and thought it was 4/4 until I started trying to play drums over it (I'm no drummer that's for sure but it's all over the place?)

I'd say that if you're singing along and do a spoonerism on the chorus then it's going to be NSFW...

Lyrics

He shops at discount stores,
Buys lots of Spam at 2 for 1.
Then gorges on it,
'Till his mind goes ever slightly numb.
He trawls the internet,
Buys into what is trending 1.
He tries so hard to make,
You see that he is having fun.

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full
Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full
Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full of
Stunning stunning stunning cunning stunts
Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full
Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full
Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full
Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full

He clings to Newspeak
In the hope that it will baffle some.
Agreeing with the people,
Own opinions he has none.
He has to please himself,
'Cos no one else will be his mum.

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full
Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full
Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full of
Stunning stunning stunning cunning stunts
Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full
Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full
Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full
Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full

He wears a smile,
That's always superficial paper thin.
If you don't see his way,
Then you must be attacking him.
There's only one way,
And it's always gonna' be for him

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na

Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full
Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full
Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full of
Stunning stunning stunning cunning stunts
Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full
Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full
Yes his mind yes his mind yes his mind's full of
Stunning stunning stunning cunning stunts....

Great job. It's got a nice groove to it and I think the drumming works well with the loose feel.

Cheeky spam referencing.
Somebody wise once said "you can't go wrong using 'na' in a song". Proof.

this is really cool, proper catchy and yeah agree with someone below about the red hot chilli peppers vibe, i mean if they released this it would be a massive hit. Great work man, love it.

Catchy stuff, like this very much. Singing along here!

If the last bar of each verse line is 6/4, that seems to work. Cool song. Chorus makes me think of the Red Hot Chilli Peppers tackling Status Quo's "Pictures of Matchstick Men".

Nice!
Sounds like you're dropping a beat at the ends of each of the phrases in the verses.
I love accidental meter shifts.

Plus this is catchy as hell.
Great work.
