DEMON PEANUT
DAY AFTER DAY
THE EXPERTS ALL PROCLAIM
SOMEHOW WEVE LET
THE PEANUT GO ASTRAY
ONCE A SOURCE OF PROTEIN
AND HEALTHY SNACKING FUN
HAS BECOME A SOURCE OF TERROR
MAKING ALL ROOM MOTHERS RUN
A TINY SOURCE OF ANGUISH
WITHIN THAT LITTLE SHELL
JUST A GLIMPSE WITHIN
CAN CAUSE YOUR HEART TO SWELL
SO BAN THEM! BAN THEM! BAN THEM! I SAY
RIGHT AFTER WE BURN THESE BOOKS
DEMON PEANUT GO AWAY!

LITTLE JOHNNYS BIRTHDAY
HIS TURN TO BRING THE SNACK
SO HES GOT A BOX OF CUPCAKES
NO ONE CHECKED THE BACK
SOME SAY IT WAS QUICK
OTHERS MORE DELAYED
BUT WHAT THEY ALL AGREE ON
IS THE TERROR OF THAT DAY
FOR WHEN THE BOX WAS OPENED
AND THE CONTENTS DISPERSED
THE TEACHER SNIFFED OUT PEANUT OIL
AND REACHED INTO HER PURSE
PULLING OUT A GAS MASK
AND SHOUTING “WE ALL MUST RUN!”
3 KIDS WERE TRAMPLED
DEMON PEANUTS JUST NO FUN

JOHNNY WAS EXPELLED
HIS PARENTS CHASTIZED
A GROUP OF STAY HOME MOMS
DECIDED TO MOBILIZE
“WE MUST END THIS THREAT
TO THE CHILDREN AND TO US ALL,
NOT A SINGLE TRACE OF PEANUT,
CAN PASS WITHIN THESE HALLS!”
“EDUCATION, BUDGETCUTS
DOES IT REALLY MATTER?
WHEN IT COMES TO THE PEANUT,
WE MUST END its REIGN OF TERROR!”
SOME MAY NEVER WRITE
EVEN COME TO CLASS WITH GUNS
SOME MAY NEVER READ
YET THE PEANUT WILL NOT HAVE WON
HOW WE SURVIVED THE PAST
REALLY DOSEN’T MATTER
WE MUST STOP THE DEMON PEANUT
BEFORE ITS POWER GATHERS
SO IN THE NAME OF GW CARVER
WE MUST ALL STAND AND SAY
DEMON PEANUT WE DENOUNCE YOU
AND TAKE BACK THE DAY!

It's funny cuz it's true. No one was allergic to peanuts when I was in school, and now it's some kind of epidemic. Kids are pussies these days.

Anyway, great song. Queepy originals are always fun. The mix is a little muddy. There's just not much clarity and definition with all the chugging in the bottom end. Maybe try to tighten it up if this is a serious piece. Vocals and guitars sound great. Really cool playing.
 
hmmmm...the link wouldn't work for me....I'll try again later

Dude...I'm tellin' ya...if your dry on song ideas, and need to spark the muse...attend a elementry school PTA meeting:laughings:....I know the mix is a little mushy...the double bass drum thing always gives me problems when I have a bass line that synchs with it ...have not really done anything on the tracks..so will try and cut some mud .....thank man!
 
Cool tune man. Love the bizarro instrumental breaks. The kick / bass area is a little cluttered and if they could be mixed with a little more pop and clarity it could have more impact, but overall I thought it sounded good - guitars and vocals especially. Keep 'em coming...:)
 
Absolutely love it!!!

You should release it under the name Big George and the Washington Carvers. :laughings:
 
I like it, but while I can hear the vocal, it is being "mushed" in with the guitar and there seems to be some masking issues in the mix. Experiment with taking either the vocal or guitar up an octave (not both), and see if a bit of hollering works. Love the little "liquid" guitar solo bits.

Thanks Tobe....agree about the "vocal"...I was getting over a pretty bad cold when I tracked it...still haven't totally cleared my head yet, when I do, I think I will re-track it ..thanks for the guitar props....appreciate it!
 
Great solo section.
Yeah, some mud needs clearing away & maybe retrack the vox.
All nuts & dairy products are on the restricted list at our local - bees are a potential cause of overreaction for one of the kids too. These things aren't banned but people have been asked to be careful & avoid them if possible.
Nuts & products containing them, as far as possible, have been removed from the canteen sales list. Parents or groups of them, can over react - as with all potential, real & unreal hazards, vigilanteeism can become a bigger problem.
We have 3 or 4 genuine anaphylaxis prone students & all staff have been trained in administering adrenalin, (via epipen).
Why an epidemic now? Well, in some instances simply because when we were kids the anaphylactic kids didn't live long enough to get to school age and we were more exposed to allergines, viruses, bacteria etc via mud pies, nose n ring picking etc. We developed tolerances.
The only way I can put it into perspective is to ask...what you would do if it were your child?
Now the song raises a BIG modern issue, observes behaviour & slyly suggests some socio-economic/lifestyle undercurrents that contribute to the problem about the problem.
A winner lyric then.
 
Funny! Great lead. The drums are buried. Are they supposed to be in this type of thing? Peanut-phobes should not be allowed to breed! At this rate, my kids, kids will be frisked and jailed for packin' a PBJ in their lunch! :eek:
:cool::D

You could roll the lows off vocals and guitars to make more room for the kick, and maybe lift all the drums as well. There's some interesting stuff going on down there but it's buried, sounds like it's coming from the room next door. Always enjoy the originality of your tunes and this one is no exception. Guitars sound great and the vocals are cool
 
This is great stuff. When I went to school I think someone brought a Bow and Arrow to school as show and tell. If they did that today it would be thought of as a threat to the students and the school system. Even though it was for showing that they hunt.

I don't know, but...

haven't the terrorists really won this battle??? :confused:

I love the song. It has a lot of truth.

Greg and BS have their finger on it. There a slight mud cloud because of the busy kick ... more space needs to be opened up so that other frequencies aren't being so masked.

All in all ... very creative, Q.
