I just wrote this, couple hours, very fast! I was trying out my new UJAM Iron2, and this just came out. It could be by George Thorogood Doggie. Is it serious fun rock?

New Squeaky Toy by Steve Bancroft

Maybe I’ve just been that good
No complaints from me
I go out to run and play
Or laze around leisurely

I really do have simple needs
A bowl of water and food
But I’ll enjoy those special treats
I wouldn’t want to be rude

But today I got a present
Hey it must be my birthday
And I can’t wait to go outside
And with this new thing play

I’m in a world of joy
Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy!
With my new squeaky toy
My new squeaky toy

I’m in a world of joy
Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy!
With my new squeaky toy
My new squeaky toy

Happy as can be
I think it speaks to me
My new squeaky toy
Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy!

My new squeaky toy, yeah yeah

This is pretty cool Steve, and I take it the pooch scored a new toy?
It’s really crying out for some drums to drive that rhythm I reckon.
Some sort of Bonham-esque shuffle pounding away maintaining the groove would be very cool.

I read this yesterday and today I wondered, you know, I thought I exactly had added such drums, so I listened to the track just now and they were muted! I had some weird Reaper stuff going on this one, and I guess it was part of that. I think you’ll like this one better. They start 16 beats in, so give it a bit.

Oh, the toys arrived today, and Sarah chewed up three in half an hour. The other dogs just lay beside theirs, don’t squeak them, but Snowball and Sarah sure bark at each other for some reason.

steban,
Thank you for reviewing my music! Now your song: certainly more fun than the Lahaina song (not that all songs need to be fun). This has catchy “guitar” parts; actually reminded me of The Edge’s (U2) guitar playing (a compliment); and vocal melodies. Per usual, your singing reminds me of Roger Waters. Nice song! :slight_smile:

Thanks, Aaron! I think I found a new virtual guitar toy.
