Don't Punch Dave

From today's headlines: "Jane's Addiction Singer Perry Farrell Throws Punch At Dave Navarro In Onstage Meltdown"

I did it on bass to make it sound like a Jane's Addiction song.

Lyrics

Perry Farrell
don't punch Dave Navarro
cos Dave seems like a nice guy
whereas I
always thought you were a bit
of a dick

Perry Farrell
don't punch Dave Navarro
don't blame him if you can no longer sing
so stop drinking and doing those other things
that seemed glamorous in the 1980s
but you're now 65, for God's sake

Perry Farrell
don't punch Dave Navarro
I think Dave
would beat you anyway
cos he's younger
and more muscular
and more tattooed
than you

Perry Farrell
don't punch Dave Navarro
even with the long COVID
he is
stronger than you

Perry Farrell
don't punch Dave Navarro
Jane says, "Just don't"

Love your bass technique.
Gonna have to try that.
Love those direct lyrics.
You're right.
But could Perry Farrell ever sing, really?
Plus Dave is holding a guitar, and believe me, no one wants to get clubbed with a guitar.

VERY nicely done. That line of "but you're now 65, for God's sake" is priceless. I'm not sure I'm totally on Navarro's side in this (a mate commented "Have you heard Dave talk? After five minutes you'd want to punch him in the face, too" which sounded a little harsh) but I totally agree he'd wipe the floor with Perry, though. Dude should have known better (although I hear it was Eric who eventually waded in and did the honours...)

Cool idea to fingerpick the bass! I love it and the way you sing those lyrics fit perfect with that story!

Sweet! I like how you finger pick that bass. I saw the video, and Perry did look like a dick. However, he said couldn't hear himself sing because Dave wouldn't turn his damned guitar down. Sounds reasonable to me. I look forward to a time when--instead of saying things like, "Could I get a little more ___ in the monitor"--people just go back and punch the sound man. Rock and roll need to return to a more Spartan mindset. Fun song. Great ending

Ripped from the headlines! I've felt that way about Perry Farrell too, although I like his distinctive voice (maybe not so distinctive in a good way anymore). Cool bass sound and fun storytelling vocal. Love that last line and ending!
