I have absolutely no idea where this shit comes from!
Hey Valentine (dance version)
February 13, 2022
https://www.johnstaplesmusic.com/FAWM2022/JohnStaples-HeyValentine-dance.mp3
hey Valentine
I'm borderline
neurotic
psychotic
over you
hey Valentine
I'm misaligned
chaotic
exotic
and confused
where's my fuckin' candy?
where's my treat?
who broke my peanut butter heart?
and dealt deceit?
hey Valentine
I'm undefined
robotic
patriotic
and abused
hey Valentine
I'm undermined
erotic
idiotic
and amused
where's my fuckin' candy?
where's my treat?
who broke my peanut butter heart?
and dealt deceit?
and here we are
on Valentine bridge
I squirm and wiggle
in my chair
and twitch
where's my fuckin' candy?
where's my treat?
who broke my peanut butter heart?
and dealt deceit?

That groove is everything! I think I like this version better than the rock version, but it could be that super saturated vocal track that's just so good! Somehow missing a more punchy drum to make it even more slapping, but it's a super cool track as is!
@tunecat Feb 2022
Liking the electro beats underlying the psycho lyric lines ha ha
@artie Feb 2022
This has the good feels all over. And great lyrics! Love when then chorus comes in -- the added percussion reminds me of the sound of teeth chomping lol. And an unexpected good laugh there at the end! Well done, my friend.
@chandra83 Feb 2022
This is brilliant! I actually lol'ed at "where's my fucking candy?" Well done!
@writeandwrong Feb 2022
Oh, here he is folks, Mr. Not So Innocent John!! hehe Yup, you don't know where this shit comes from. Pfffffft!!!!!!! :D :D :D I love your vocals on this, even though the tune's a bit neurotic hahahaha. The line "Who broke my peanut butter heart?" though... that is delicious, so sticky gooey sweet... with a little deceit? Yeah, I see what you did there! And regardless...This is like "The Nightmare Before Valentine's" New movie coming out in theaters soon...music featuring the very innocent John Staples singing, "Where's My Fuckin' Candy?!" lol I have to say this is my favorite anti-Valentine's Day song EVER!!!! Awesome!!!! Are you serious?! This was a skirmish?? Sweeeeeet!
@jwhanberry Feb 2022
Imagine my surprise when, expecting a sweetly sung, fingerpicked country folk love ditty I hear House with four on the floor kick and side-chained pad sung by a psychotic, patriotic squirmer missing his candy. Shocking, shocking I say! And a cool production. Good work.
@winchperry Feb 2022
Well, it's all been said. I love it! But I will say this, I bought cards and candy for my family members tomorrow and if I dont get my fucking peanut butter heart tomorrow, I quit.
@sunfire Feb 2022
Wow! Dude! Love the direction you took this in. Phenomenal sounds and I dig that beat.
@darcistrutt Feb 2022
Definitely something I could dance too! The rhymes were fun. Great skirmish!
@kahlo2013 Feb 2022
Whoa! What a fantastic surprise! Love the pithy punchy pointed lines and the great groove! Great skirmish John! Love this Valentine surprise!
@thedutchwidows Feb 2022
I'm here all day for that pumping bass synth - it's so immediately catchy. Your voice is so good on this - it has tones of Robert Pollard of Guided By Voices, which is awesome - I love GBV! This is so well done, so cohesive, for a skirmish. Very nicely done.
@musicsongwriter Feb 2022
Very original angle for the prompt. Rocking and interesting. Dynamic and fun.
@pattie Feb 2022
who broke my peanut butter heart - excellent! Love the feel of this song. Great skirmish!
@berni1954 Feb 2022
Brilliant 80s feel - eat your heart out Eurythmics, John S is here!
Lyrically, this is so rich for a skirmish! Huge applause from Catalunya for this one.
@blindsheepdog Feb 2022
absolute BANGER
@zeekle1998 Feb 2022
Oh yes, this is my kind of valentines song. Love the music, not what I was expecting from you. The chorus is brilliant, I love the "peanut butter heart"... so cool to listen to.
@arthurrossi Feb 2022
What an original song idea! Great lyrics with unique rhymes of words that one would think they could not fit together, but here all of them do... I also like the musical direction that you chose here... Very enjoyable and unique!
@majormajormajormajor Feb 2022
Such great combos of adjectives in this. I particularly like 'erotic, idiotic and amused' which is fun to just try to envision. There's a venom in this but it's tempered by these descriptions of who the singer is. Nice balance.
@odilongreen Feb 2022
Such a cool club banger! And that chorus ("where's my fuckin' candy") - hilarious! This will have a definite permanent place in my "classic Valentines Day songs" playlist!
@ajna1960 Feb 2022
You have the perfect voice for this genre :)
I actually really love this track, both lyrically and musically. A seriously good write considering the one hour deadline !
@andygriff Feb 2022
This is great. "Where's my fucking candy". Genius. I love it.
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
I will tell you, you did well, its a good lyric with that electo back drop made me smile and nod in equal parts! good one mate
@keithcuts Feb 2022
groovy dancey track here
so euro
suprising plot twists and vocab
get it!
@chickenjail Feb 2022
"Where's my fucking candy?" is such a good line. Great skirmish!
@cindyrella Feb 2022
Hey, where isy candy!? Ha. This is so creative and made me smile. Love the rhyming!
