A delicate little song about the good ol' groupy. Snot meant to be sexist but most groupies are
actually women (not saying they all are )
this is all from my imagination as i've never been lucky enough to have one of my own   
usual set up , me and my partner in crime  Ron Rouch

lyrics.       Rockers Perks.


why do i love you you're - a rock n roll chick   

youre  hot  your coOL - and shoot from your hip

 a queen of the scene - a thorn in my side

you look like an angel - and you'll swallow my pride
  ---------------------------------------------

you treat me like a king - i treat you like a dog

you move to my beat      -      i feel like a god

with your tight leather pants-- and your push up bra

you don't want me ,you want a guy with a guitar.
-------------------------------------------------

you want your picture in print ,you and a star

why are you willing  to go - quite so far

you sucked me in - you blew me out

you're a whole lotta woman ,there's no doubt.
----------------------------------------------

i,m glad you're around - you make my job worth while

with your silicone tits and your 1000 buck smile

please stick around - have all you can take

you spice up my life -you're the cream in my cake.

great track andyron, gets you from the off that riff,
love the groove and the brass stabs and the build..
im nodding away like one of them dogs in a cars back window...
great stuff, woke me up ..

[James Nighthawk]

Great beat, ace guitar playing, driving bass.

Mix wise I would prefer a little more vocal. I struggled to hear the words (which are ace by the way!) without reading along.

This song lacks a chorus. I really like it as it is, but I wonder is some kind of simple, punch and brief hook line during the guitar twiddling might have provided a different layer of accessibility. It is needed per se, the song totally works as is, but I wonder how it would change the feel of the track...

Love the sudden death ending too

Great stuff.

(NB, I liked the so much it made me realise: Its a shame the youtube version seems so compressed. I always click the quality setting and ramp it up to maximum available. With youtube it seems the audio quality is directly related to the video quality. 720p upwards is usually crystal clear - anything below and the compression is notable for me)

Loved the way this song motors along - Put me in mind of Dr Feelgood. Love the guitar work and enjoyed the arrangement lots too - particularly the build a the end. I was not so sure about some of the lyric - but that probably says more about me being such an old fashioned geezer than the song. Really enjoyed this. BTB

a real monster beat on this & i liked it......your such a poet!
but i felt it didnt realy have any highlights till the guitar solo at the end...the beat kept it going strong but it went on a bit long
i dont think ive ever written a song over 3.30 mins becos i want people to want more & to listen again
anyway were taking on male groupies at the moment  so if youve got what it takes & want to be abused send us your cv!

Hey

It's another strange one  I have to say I don't really like this one, unlike your others. It's all well recorded and stuff but to
be honest it bored me. The riff and style sound so dated to me and the lead guitar too uninventive. The blues riffs have that chinese
pentatonic, dead staright feel which always makes me think of when I was first learning the blues scale, evertything sounded chinese and square.
And then there is the "praying to Ernie" bit 
If you want to know what praying to Ernie is, take a look at this from about 8:25 or so. The whole video is great but long.

Apart from that, very good 

[andy5544]

Well thanks for your comments everyone ,
i thought the main criticisms would be ,too long ,vocals not loud enough,

tina , my wife said i'm not allowed to be your groupy , otherwise i would deffo be up for it 

shav ,  apart from it bores you and you dont like the music it's very good 

[Dutchbeat]

Listened to the later link. Sounds really good, rocking!
a great beat

and yes, very sutil lyrics 

[Kafla]

The vocal is really buried deep in there making it really difficult to read

But the mix is very nice , vocal aside

And I really like the guitar work and rythmn

Best song I have heard from you yet Andy 

[faero]

Love the rocking beat on this - Put me straight into a bar with a pint in a plastic cup and loud band... 

Keyboard stabs just right (maybe a touch quiet) but tastefully give a bit of background.

The slighly off the wall vocals make the song for me - they are at odds with the blues style song layout and it works well. (i.e. you don't sing a normal blues/rock melody at all)
When the change in tone to a metal style guitar came in, there was a sudden deep bass that came in for a  few bars then never came back which is a bit odd.

I agree with the comments above and think it needs a little more thought on structure or a bit of variance. Maybe a bit less of the fill-in guitar lick too?    Fun track!

The lyrics are pretty bad and cliche to be honest. They wouldnt be out of place on This Is Spinal Tap.

Some decent licks from the guitarist but cant say much more than that. Sorry.

hey thanks for listening ,it's ok not to like it , and i loved spinal tap so i'm chuffed with that comment , i'm a bit thick so would you mind pointing out the cliched bits so's i dont do it again ,
cheers mr riot .

No probs. Its all about opinions and plenty others seem to like it.

Phrases like "shoot from the hip", "thorn in my side", "swallow my pride" etc are cliche.

And yeah spinal tap rocks

ok , so if i used phrases such as .... melt like the snow ,  mark/line in the sand , picture in my mind , wine and whiskey (or vica versa) i would have been ok , yes ? 
how many times does a phrase have to be used in other songs to become a cliche ?
unless you're going to invent a whole new language you cant avoid using them , there isn't many phrases left in the world that haven't been put to a song. so if you're going down the cliche road you should make sure there's none in your tunes Mr Riot.
