Feb 2022 collab mrs-bs-grade-3-class forgetfulness fun
So, @ductapeguy asked me if I'd like to write some funky music for lyrics written by Mrs B.'s Third Grade class.
How could I resist?
I forgot what happened.
I forgot my pet
at the hotel
I forgot to feed my frog Chonk
When he came home,
he ate everything in the cupboard.
Did I sing this part before? I forgot! I forgot!
Did I sing this part before? I forgot! I forgot!
When you try to work
but forget
what the teacher said
When you don’t know why
you went inside
When you don’t know how
to say
you’re sorry
but
you want to try.
I forgot my mask in my bag
I forgot to put on
my socks.
I forgot my snowpants
I forgot what you said.

Thank you so much @headfirstonly I just listened with Mrs. B. and the class. Here are their reactions.
a: I love the part where I forgot to feed my pet because that is L's pet.
C: I like the part where it said I forgot to put my socks on because I do every morning.
Mrs. B: I love the funky beat. It's in my bones. I cannot stop dancing.
N: My favorite part was the snowpants and the socks.
M: I like the part where I forgot how to say sorry. I like how it went along with the beat.

That fat bass line is working for me.
Lovely Dadaist lyrics.
I really want to know how the kids liked it.
As a former supply teacher, these lyrics are making me laugh.
Great guitar stabs.
Another great one!

Very catchy and funky! :)

Hahaha....Oh my this is exactly it. I have kids and also have worked with kids for ages and it just is....I love how you have conveyed the urgency that kids say "I forgot" in the chorus--like they are trying to convince us of that. Great playing and blends of sounds! Well done!

Will there be a reaction video by the class? Big fun! nice bubbling bass

How much fun is that prompt? It really demanded something upbeat, and you delivered in buckets. What a groove! And how much fun did you have swooshing that Hammond around in the background!?
Great fun.
