It’s past midnight so I guess I’m good to post this!
Give someone like me a headline like ‘Bigfoot Kept Lumberjack As Love Slave’ and there’s gonna be mischief!! I doubt this will go down as my finest musical achievement – I bloody hope not anyway – but the ideas for this came to me right away and it was a blast to record. I hope the neighbours weren’t listening!!
Sasquatch (Massive Wood)
Bigfoot kept lumberjack as a love slave
in a million dollar beachside house
Bigfoot kept lumberjack as a love slave
in a million dollar beachside house
Deep in the forest of Californ-i-a
An axe and chainsaw massacre that day
As the timber fall they hear a strange call
Somethin’ that could not be understood
He was fifteen feet tall stood behind a massive wood
Bigfoot kept lumberjack as a love slave
in a million dollar beachside house
Bigfoot kept lumberjack as a love slave
in a million dollar beachside house
Sasquatch was an entrepreneurial kind
they say that he made his dough from a life of crime
He was still wild, so his English wasn’t good
Bigfoot’s intentions were clearly understood
He was fifteen feet tall stood behind a massive wood
Bigfoot kept lumberjack as a love slave
in a million dollar beachside house
Bigfoot kept lumberjack as a love slave
in a million dollar beachside house

Brilliant @ChrisPrice (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=22723) ;D ;D You were thrown two totally obtuse headlines and then managed not only to incorporate them in a song but used the two headlines as a catchy as hell hook - I've listened to this a few times this morning and it's an absolute earworm, you b****** :) :)
I love the feel of the backing track, you've managed to combine a kinda tribal beat with an incessant, infectious riff. Great vocals and the sound FX top it off - Plus a great Soundcloud pic
Another top quality submission Chris and I'm going to be singing this all day ;D ;D

@pompeyjazz (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=20269) Thank you mate. It was a real laugh to do. As long as it makes folks smile that'll do me! ;D

Well that's how you take a curve ball and smack it out of the park. Wonderful stuff, Chris!

lumberjacks deserve all they get!
lol

Hi Chris, ;D ;D ;D ;D ??? :o :-X What can I say? It's hard not to laugh....Brilliantly hooky song and beautifully played and sung. Excellent contribution to the competition!
Nice one!

Wow, amazing chorus @ChrisPrice (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=22723), extremely catchy and like the rest of the song, loads of fun. The doubled vocals worked really well, the riff is incessant and little details like the off beat hi-hat all come together to make a most polished offering. Bound to be a crowd favourite when you’re next gigging. :D
Great entry.

Wow.... This is great!!!! Absolutely loved that intro.... What a catchy chorus too!!! Well done :D

Hola @ChrisPrice (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=22723)
The atmosphere of the intro and the scream and subsequent grunts are wonderful, and then the song, with so much positive energy and good work ... Great track, a very entertaining listening.
Stay safe

Marvellously epic 💝

Ah man! I can hear how much fun you are having with this. Sooo good! Great vibe and as someone else mentioned this would be great live! I love it. 👹🎶👊🏻🎶🤪

Great fun @ChrisPrice (http://www.songwriterforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=22723) :D. Powerful full-blooded performance & a very catchy hook. Excellent production & musicianship. Inspired to include both headlines..I´m having enough problems just doing one of mine. :). Marvellous work.

Super fun track - you'd never know that it was based on some random headlines. Love the energetic guitars, lyrics and the vocal delivery.
Marvelous stuff - fine musical achievements are great but being entertaining is as important or maybe even more...
