Ray and VHS, thanks for defending my tune. The rest of you, thank you for tearing it apart. There's one thing I'm puzzled about, though. Why the aversion to DI acoustic? I mic it for practically every song I record but I liked the plastic-y feel in this setting. I don't think it's a bad or cheap sound -- it's just a sound like any other, right?
"defending"? Is that how you see what all this about? Weird.

OH well, that's something else. But only one person was "offended" by the lyrics. That's what you're dwelling on? Yes, I do find that weird., but that's just my opinion. Everyone else was pretty constructive with their comments, I think. For you to say "thanx for defending my song", it came off as if you didn't like the fact that not everyone said it was awesome.Kind of ironic that you'd say that.
And, offended ... was it only one?

They weren't even clever or funny lyrics. You can get away with rapey lyrics if it's tongue-in-cheek, but these weren't, in my opinion.
Wow, interesting response this song has provoked. I too think that the lyrics weren't really clever enough to carry the joke, but the tune was a very catchy pop ditty.
What really kept me listening though was the vocal performance - absolutely phenomenal in my opinion. The production was all ok to me. Nothing was really bad. But the vocal performance was the main thing that kept me listening all the way through. Big props on that!
If you have a guy singing about having sex with other men in the same nonchalant, boorish way, it's taken as inappropriate or bland comedy.
