Hi all! I recently upgraded my Soundcloud to a paid subscription and was happy to see you can replace old song files without losing your stats/likes/comments etc. I started posting SC tracks about 2 years ago when I first started messing around with Garageband - which was the first music I had written since my long lost youth. Anyhow, I have been revisiting one or two older tracks of late, thinking that I can now record them a bit better after a couple of years practice - although I do realise I am still a novice!
Here's one anyway -
The Dog, The Cat, The Mouse, The Rat, The Snake & The Bat - a 2 year old that I've revamped over the past couple of days:
-Resung vocals and added some lyrical variety to chorus.
-Added harmonies
-Changed acoustic guitar for ukelele
-Changed all percussion parts, adding shaker
-Added synth embellishments
I'm a bit happier with it now, so here it is

LYRICS:
The Dog, the Cat, the Mouse, the Rat, the Snake, the Bat
Thought love was ecstasy
But never a menagerie
Should I try flattery
But don’t think that will work
I’m human I need love
Not stick insects and turtle doves
Not the dog, the cat
The mouse, the rat, the snake, the bat
We need to chat
Oh Princess
Don’t want to end up second best
I need love and nothing less
But you love your dog, the cat
The mouse, the rat, the snake, the bat
We need to chat
Oh Princess
Doctor says I’m really stressed
I need love and that’s no jest
But you love your dog, the cat
The mouse, the rat, the snake, the bat
We need to chat
Thought love would really grow
In our two bedroom bungalow
But I’m like Romeo
Without a Juliet
What’s a poor man to do
Trapped in this suburban zoo
With the dog, the cat
The mouse, the rat, the snake, the bat
We need to chat
RPT CHORUS
I think you should know
This may come as a blow
And it may make you sad
But I’ve done something bad
So don’t be upset
I can be every pet
Be the dog, the cat
The mouse, the rat, the snake, the bat
We need to chat
Oh Princess
Don’t want to end up second best
I need love and nothing less
So I shot your dog, the cat
The mouse, the rat, the snake, the bat
We need to chat
Oh Princess
Doctor says I’m really stressed
I need love and that’s no jest
But you love your dog, the cat
The mouse, the rat, the snake, the bat
We need to chat
If this is maybe a problem
We need to chat
