I have had it for four days and am so mad about it that I wrote a song to get the rage out.
I never say constipation I just kind of allude to the problem. Is that okay?
i have the constipation blues.
If that's the direction to took with it, then yeah, it's a bad idea. We have enough I-have-the-something-blues songs in the world.
But if you are clever about it, and pair it with good melody, it might be worth hearing.
oh, no, it's not blues and there's nothing like that in the lyrics. i'm saying in real life i have the constipation blues.
the song is more raucous and noisy. i will post the lyrics soon and you can tell me if it stinks. it's called "it won't come out" for now but i might change it. but for now i like that title since it's vague and makes me laugh a little and sums up this situation without saying constipation. i guess my big fear is being a bad weird al.
Lyrics are just stupid poetry without music and melody to make it a song.
What Greg said. Just write the song. Don't concern yourself with what others think. If you enjoy the song, that's more than enough. Others can either like it or lump it. It won't harm you any.
okay thanks guys but you should have said others can either like it or dump it.
i don't think i'd be posting the lyrics for approval but just to ask if they cross the line into weird al territory 'cause i can't stand that guy. but maybe it would be for approval. i'm not smart enough to know about subconscious motivation.
but either way i won't post them and i'll use the time better like to record it or take ex lax.

Don't post the lyrics for approval. Why would you? No one here matters. Lyrics mean nothing without melody and context. It's just words. Like drums. A beat is just a beat without anything around it. Lyrics are just stupid poetry without music and melody to make it a song. Write your song, the way you want to write it. It's your song, no one else's. You don't need the opinions or approval of internet idiots when it comes to songwriting. No one here is a "successful" writer, so their collective opinions on songwriting are meaningless. Do your thing the way you wanna do it. Write your constipation song. If you enjoy it, that's all that matters.
That's not true, Greg. Lyrics are immensely important. I would say more important than the music. .
Try prune juice - it worked for someone I know.
Not so fast. You don't want to kill his inspiration.
1) no one here is qualified to tell you if your own lyrics are good or bad.
