Liner Notes

#weird #funky #protest #slide

Wouldn't it be ridiculous to say you love a thing so much, then fundamentally change everything about it once you get the chance? So that by the time you've had your hands on it for just a matter of weeks, it's barely recognizable as the thing you said that you loved? Wouldn't that just be silly.

This is also the FAWM debut of the slide guitar! I wish it were a more auspicious introduction but alas.

Lyrics

If anybody asks and they probably will
“Hey what’s your favorite animal?”
I love horses

Super-efficient, built for speed
I love every color of every breed
I love horses

Equus caballus, of thee I sing
I wouldn’t change a single thing

I said I wouldn’t change a thing, this don’t make me a liar
But I always thought it would be cool if they could breathe fire
I love horses

Hooves are fine, I guess, but get ready because
We’re gonna change those babies into retractable claws
I love horses

Equus caballus, beauty in movement
But just a couple more things that, in my opinion, could use improvement

Horses eat plants and that’s pretty neat
But let’s give you incisors so you can eat red meat
I love horses

Lateral eye placement, that’s kinda dull
Let’s put both eyes on the front of the skull
I love horses

Equus caballus, what’s in a name
Yeah you can say that you love it, babe, but now it ain’t the same
I love horses

I love this song.... nearly forty years in the making. Very reminiscent of horse-dragon hybrid sketches in some sketchbook somewhere.

i love the vocal harmonies which put the sonic emoji on "i love horses 😍 " also the slide guitar is PERFECT for this song

What a concept for a song. Very cool. Love the beat and your rapping seems very smooth. Incredible wordplay.

Turning horses into oversize fire breathing carnivorous rats!
Love what you do.

This song is so impressive! Those vocals! You used heckin Equus Caballus in a song. Absolutely unhinged. I love this song

I swear that when I was about 4 my mum used to listen to a song like this. Not about horses. No. But there's something wonderfully 60s-weird about the rhythm of the words.
And who wouldn't love horses if they were just a different shape, colour, size and smell? I know I would!

As silly as this is, there's a lot of skill on display here. A pretty innovative concept with some adventurous rhymes and a glib lyrical flow. The title hook is very catchy and you duet beautifully with yourself.
