I see you caught the Willie-esque guitar solo, eb. Just a bit of comic relief.

Its very cute and clever. Just to nitpick, the backing sounds a bit "band in a box". Lets face it, if you are gonna do schtick you gotta nail it.
The guitar solo is very nice but too long for the song. Comedy is hard to pull off.

I personally Love this song!
This is the most inspired funny song I can remember, and I'm a "Flight of the Concordes" fan! It's pretty long, but the playing is great and the song is just good.
I appreciate this kind of thing. Thanks, James

Thanks for the tip, David. I was struggling with Sonar, getting dropouts and "fatal error" crashes due to a software problem, and I just cut and pasted a verse and refrain for backing the solo.
What you say makes perfect sense. I'll cut the solo in half by halving the verse and then halving the refrain. Child's play, like the song itself.

why is the rest of the music turned down so low?

The rest of what music? Do you mean the vocals are too high?

Not for me and this genre. Its imperative that the listener "gets it" right away, and they do with your vox up.

Sorry, zazz, I thought I responded to your comment. It really gave me a lift. Taking chances can really backfire on you. I don't know what you mean about a magic middle eight, but I'm all ears. Thanks for the reply.

Burl meets Willie for sure.....Nice playing on the acoustic, and the singing sounds great. I agree keep the vocals up there so we can make out the lyrics.
You can use the long version for the album, and the shorter version for the radio.
Great stuff....

Thanks, ido. Sometimes taking chances works out and I think this is one example. It got to #7 in Acoustic Vocals on Soundclick. That's out of about 7,000 songs in that genre. Thanks for listening.
