Liner Notes

My response to the "Truly Impressive Pile of Cheese" skirmish
I am sure I won't be alone in going with the "cheesy" interpretation of the word cheese 😜

Lyrics

(F) We have only a limited time to devote to (Bb) leisure
So when we (C) choose a film it must bring us both (F) pleasure
But the one we saw last night really failed to (Bb) please
It was a (C) truly impressive pile of rotten (F) cheese

(F) I lost count of the clichés at a (Bb) hundred
How(C)ever did this get made? We both (F) wondered
We won't ever come back for a re(Bb)prise
What a (C) truly impressive pile of rotten (F) cheese

When we (Bb) fancied a comedy that (F) night
We were (C) hoping for some laughs to put things (F) right
But there (Dm) wasn't even a single smile in (Bb) sight
That script should have been re(C)jected out(F)right!

(F) Whoever told that actor he was (Bb) funny?
His (C) salary was surely a waste of (F) money
And we could have been spared that gross strip(Bb)tease
In that (C) truly impressive pile of (F) rotten cheese

Nice one! I think the first verse just sets it off so well. It's like you were forced to write a song about it because of your extreme disappointment :)

@robinleaf 3w

Oh I love your take on this prompt! So funny, especially the last verse. Bravo!

@conuladh 3w

Nicely done prompt response. It fits with my opinions of several over-hyped, big budget movies I've watched in the last year. Love how the uke works with your voice.

@ajna1960 3w

Oh my quite a different take on the prompt lol excellent 😀

@janeg 3w

Amazing skirmish response! The uke fits the mood you’ve created very well. Sadly, even the worst movies get recommended by someone. Sometimes even a friend.

@odilongreen 3w

Such a charming uke sound, and your bemused voice really sells the fun, low-stakes story. A real feel-good song!

@witcrafts 3w

I love the Dm in the chorus that refreshes the chord progression just at the right time to perk up the ear.

@edwinb 3w

Catchy uke here! And I like the way you work the title line in.

@cblack 3w

Ha! Great storytelling music. Loved it.

@newukenewyork 3w

Well-structured; I like how you've worked the title in as a refrain. Very nice, all around.

@johnstaples 3w

I love your take on the skirmish prompt! A movie review! And a rating of "a truly impressive pile of rotten cheese"!! Your lyrics are really tight and fun to follow along with! And your vocal performance is delightful! A great skirmish effort!

@john_p 3w

Nice take on the theme! Great word play as well!

@porrectus 3w

Well done, a wicked dancy tune with some great lines of melody. Nice.

@nadine 3w

You took the challenge to another level. When I read the title I was thinking of stinky cheese that you forgot to put in a proper box... instead it's about bad movies. Both are bad. Well played!
