Hey good people,here's a little sarcastic song for those of us taking life seriously...usually me! 

The meaning of life isn't actually 42,listen further,grasshoppers and be enlightened. 

Some believe in the power of love
Some believe in god above
Some believe in stories tall
Some believe in nothing at all

Some believe you must have rules
They don't believe in suffering fools
Some believe you must be good
But all the people everywhere believe in the power of food

We all want to know
Am I a saint or a sinner
But the real meaning of life is..
What's for dinner?

Some believe they've found a way
They won't hear what we say
I don't know,but I have a hunch
Survival's all about not being...
Somebody's lunch

We all want to know
Am I a saint or a sinner
But the real meaning of life is..
What's for dinner?

Ah ! At last somebody has explained it to me. I couldn't find the answer on the Interweb. Great fun song Davy, in yer face from the start. Super guitar and vocals as usual and great FX on the belch. Was that a first take?

I love this deep philosophical stuff!     Mind there is some truth in it if you watch all these David Attenborough animal and creatures documentaries, as it's all about lunch from cradle to grave.

Entertaining song, nicely executed with decent harmonies and nifty guitar interplay, nice dips into minor sections making it more pretend to be more serious than it really is! Would be great fun live no doubt!

Hey ho skub,

I like this. Very catchy, well sung, well played, and makes me think. I'll be dwelling on this meaning of life business all day now. Good job. 😉

[PaulyX]

Haha... the lyrics are excellent Skub my friend.  Both funny and pointedly cynical at the same time... probably brutally true too - "nature is red in tooth and claw" and all that.  I really like some of the percussive touches - lots of energy from the hi-hats.  Liked the way it started straight off the mark too, and the guitars just weave in and out throughout... there's constantly something going on that raises a smile.  Just loads of high energy fun with a barbed message lurking behind the jollity.  Ace.

[LostBoy]

Haha!! Yep!! U nailed it Davy. Made me smile mate. Great energy and just a lovely upbeat track. Plus, who doesn't love a good belch in a song eh??🤣🎶👊🏻🎶👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

Hi Skub,

Haven't hear many songs about food, especially in connection with the meaning of life.

Great guitar work as usual sub, like the little licks/runs

Cool idea, Pahahahah, a belch at the end, did you get a bit of sick come up too. Leaves a bad taste that.

Love it.
Andy

It's the way to this Englishmans heart for sure!
Cracking stuff and a cracking lyric.

Now what's for lunch?

[Movin Flavour]

Hi Davy,

Catchy tune, you hit the nail on head.
I would lose the "Daddy or chips@ argument.

Nice one Davey - I love me a good comedy song and this one had me grinning right through to the end.
The belch is ... impressive!
Now I'm hungry for more like that one. 

Paul

[rightly]

That's deep dude!
Lol.
Excellent guitars, you're probably the God of guitar riffs.
Very good, sounds really fresh and whimsical.

[MonnoDB]

Thought I'd get something deep and meaningful when I clicked on this one... This is better though - echoes the reality of life.. Never mind your latest creation Ma, what's for dinner? Sounds about right... Catchy as hell..

[Skub]

@pompeyjazz

Hey J,yeah,the ending was a first take! 

@MichaelA

Thanks Michael,one is happy you have been enlightened. 

@redrhodie

It's never far from my mind either,thanks Lynn. 

@PaulyX

Glad you enjoyed it Paul. 

@LostBoy

Absolutely!  Cheers Leo.

@Cawproductions

No sick Andy,just a load of air. I've been told it's one of the things I'm full of. 

@tboswell

Thanks Tom,get the pan on! 

@Movin Flavour

Ha! Thank you Sandeep. 

@Paulski

Whammy mean comedy song,I'm 100% serious,Paul.     

@Rightly

Many thanks Rightly. I'm probably the god of 'wasting time'. 

@MonnoDB

Glad you were paying attention,Karen. I'll be asking questions later.

Hi Davey,

that cheered me up no end. Tonight the meaning of life is pizza Although its for tea as we had soup for dinner.

Reminded me of The Bonzo Dog Doo Doh Band, a very good thing.

[Bill Saunders]

Yeah! Listened to this months ago when you first put it up on SoundCloud - I loved it then and I still do. What a joy! I really do like your voice on this one Davy, it suits that yee haa thang going on.

That burp at the end is disgusting by the way.
