Now here's my musical setting for Mike's lyrics. Going back in time to my indie-rock-pop era ;-)
2022-03-03 Uploaded a remixed version. Hope the guitars are better to hear now
An arm is just an arm is just an arm
It means no harm
Turns off the alarm
When you want to sleep a little more
Oh, an arm is just an arm is just an arm
A foot is just a foot is just a foot
Fits in a boot
Can't really cook
Moving you from point A to point B
Oh a foot is just a foot is just a foot
A head is just a head is just a head
Lying in bed
Helps to think ahead
Keeps you from heading into trouble
Oh a head is just a head is just a head
A butt is just a butt is just a butt
No matter what
Go eat a donut
The calories will keep it big and strong
Oh a butt is just a butt is just a butt
An arm is just an arm
A foot is just a foot
A head is just a head
A butt is just a butt
She said so what
She said so what

In a perfect world, there would be more than one song on FAWM with "butts" as a tag, but alas, this is not a perfect world. This song brings us one step closer, though. I like the little parts with the 'narrator' barging in!

I laughed at eating the donut to keep the butt big and strong. Excellent use of repetition and framing in lyrics. Dark indie rock take on the instrumentation. I enjoyed the effect on the vocal in the main and the accent parts, and really enjoyed the groove in the bassline. Guitars bubbling underneath.

Fabulous lyrics set to a rawkin’ performance! There’s a really cool retro feel to it, a bit DEVO, a bit Clash. Love it. I had to listen twice!
@crisp1 Mar 2022
sph definitely made this bounce! Almost like a children's song but... not quite. Very fun to listen to -- doesn't quite ever go where you think it might -- lots of creative little twists in there. Nice work!

So weird and kooky, I love the announcer-voice mixed in with the too-cool pop rock singing, the driving bass line and guitar bringing so much gritty attitude. Lyrics are profoundly goofy. This was very fun to listen to, think I'll go again. :)

Groovy rhythm with lyrics that makes me smile. I love the change of effects in each 4th line
@lifewithtomcat Feb 2022
This leaves me smiling like a darn fool, love it!
@billwhite51 Feb 2022
this also meets the one note melody challenge lots of fun reducing body parts to functions,

This is wild and silly in the best ways. Dig the butt stanza, made me laugh. Cool song!
@bethdesombre Feb 2022
So much fun! And I like the "so what" at the end.
@sailingmagpie Feb 2022
Fun collab! Enjoyable chugging guitars and surreal lyrics.
@steer Feb 2022
This was a fun one!
@mikegtz Feb 2022
Cool, Stephen, I particularly like the echo on the "oh" and the readings of the lines just before that . Nice grungy mix here.
@sph Feb 2022
@sml, @mikeb, @nadine : Now added music to Mike's lyrics
@sph Feb 2022
What a nice set of lyrics. Working on the song right now. Will ping you when it's done.
@sml Feb 2022
Mike, that was cool, funny. "Can't really cook" is my fav. I hope this will be a song.
@mikeb Feb 2022
I think you covered the challenge well with this one, Mike! Funny ending!
@nadine Feb 2022
Fun lyrics and interesting metric. Will you turn that into a song? I'm hearing something upbeat.
