Title: Guadaladaloops
Post by: mickyplankton on February 21, 2017, 01:52:54 PM
Hi all,

This song is a bit of a back to basics approach from me. Its a stripped down 2 minute garage rock song that is deliberately minimalist.

Lyrically, it is also intended to be open to interpretation.

It could be a song about the glorious fragility of humanity against the backdrop of an infinite and unknowable universe.... or.... it could be about nothing at all......

The lyrics are:

Guadaladaloops....on repeat.

Thanks for listening and feeding back.

Micky.

Punk - catchy - slightly mad - works for me!  :)

Really don't know what to make of it. I think I'm on "stun". Intriguing at the very least. Don't think I can do the feedback thing, though. Wouldn't know what to say....  ??? ;D

I, er....I don...hmm

It rhymes!

For me the timing would need tightening up on the instrumental track but I guess punk isn't really about precision.

I'm not sure what else to say.

You sounded like you enjoyed yourself so keep at it.

I love the twist at the end with the lyrics - didn't expect that

I have no idea how to review this song - punk is meant to be low fi so the production being rough around the edges isn't the end of the world but I think that's the only thing I could recommend

Hahahaha I love it, a big part of music for me is the emotional effect they have, and this put a massive smile on my face. The "1-2-3-4 -" then drop bits are my fave

Nothing wrong with this at all, and its punk enough not to give a shi* that's it gibberish.

All the best,
Scott

Always up for a song that has more chords than words ... could be a great show opener like the Hives' "Come On". I'd keep it to about one minute long for maximum effect though...

Love it. Love it. Love it. I don't know what else to say really. It's punk rock.

Jesus H Christ!

I went to sleep singing guadaladaloops and now I've woke up with it in my head too!

You've done something right but I swear to god if my next song has a line like 'eat a lot of soup' or something in it, I'm coming for you Micky!

Yo Micky.

You're as mad as a bottle of chips.

But in a good way.  :D

Listened to two posted songs in the last 5 mins, and I'm truly back in my youth.  This is absolutely pure, simple, unadulterated fun, and it could seriously go viral.  Needs some production, but the song's done.

Hi,

Melodically, musically and lyrically refreshing...beyond criticism (and reason!  :)) and an earworm to boot!

Loved it

Cheers Phil

Ridiculously silly and catchy in a genre I love - John Peel would have loved it!!!
