Feb 2022 pop-rock zecoopdrums comedy valentine
Another ridiculously bombastic song I spent too long on - featuring a wonderful drum track by #zecoopdrums - and @phenola kindly accepted my request for a bass line!
I started work on it on Valentine's day - and wrote from the perspective a crappy boyfriend. (I promise I'm not as bad as this guy in the song!)
@seppo also provided another superb bass line which I've posted a mix of below....

Hey girl, I’ve noticed you around,
and I think you’ve prob’ly noticed me
I suppose it’s hardly that surprising,
we’ve been together since nineteen ninety threeee
Valentine, give me a sign
Valentine, won’t you be mine?
I bought these flowers for you, from the garage downtown
They were the last ones left, so the petals and the leaves are a little bit brown
And yeah the card says “Sorry for your loss”, but there really wasn’t that much choice
Don’t they say - it’s the thought that counts? So let’s rejoice
And if you ever doubted my love then I’ve got something for you
to represent our love I got myself a nice tattoo
Yes I know it’s not your name, it’s the name of my ex,
but it’s close enough and I was hedging my bets
I can tell you’re a little bit mad, maybe I should’ve raised my game,
Why don’t you put your suitcase down, and maybe we can start again?
I know a restaurant down the street, baby I’m begging you please,
Two golden arches - (they do a mean double-burger with cheese!)
(I can change, just give me another chance!)

Love the funky track lots of tasty bits. Clever words. Can’t help feeling sorry gif the lady in question!

Hey, I wrote a "Valentine" song too (completely different from this though).
I listened to this on tiny computer speakers, so I think I missed a lot, but wow, it's so it's so fun and hooky.
@deena Feb 2022
Oh, I love that hooky chorus with all the background vocals! Great rhythm tracks, too!
@cleanshoes Feb 2022
Ha! So, this is funny, but it's also a solid groove. I actually had to get up and dance! Great production, and @phenola's bass is perfect!
@guitarpatz83 Feb 2022
This is so much fun, love the vocal delivery and the theme. There’s a bit of Graham Coxon and also Simon Neill in this and the story made me think of Peep Show for some reason - can well imagine Jez or Hans as the narrator hear. Great stuff man
@ofishell Feb 2022
Loving this so damned much! So groovy (@phenola - you rocked it out!). I do hope the character is not based in reality. LOL
@bandybum Feb 2022
Another fun lyric, funky feel and good times rolling. Love the harmonies!
@zecoop Feb 2022
Crazy fun song... Just such an amazing guitar groover, and those vocals are wonderful. Funny story and perfect delivery. What an awesome song - LOVED this!
@burrsettles Feb 2022
i love these sort of "anti-" valentine's day songs! :) nice groove and and the backing vocals "Y Y Y" are a nice touch.
@cheslain Feb 2022
This is so cool and groovy. Great drum track utilized well. Really catchy and fun with witty lyrics.
@nadine Feb 2022
This is ridiculous bombastic. Cool lyrics and awesome background vocals. The drum groove works so well. The only thing I'm missing is a bass. It was worth spending some days on this.
Edit: Yes, the bass is great! Thanks @phenola!
@richaaaay Feb 2022
Way to use Zecoop’s drums. Very catchy song. The refrain is great. Love the ending. Fun tune!
@owl Feb 2022
Love the guitar and the vocal delivery. What a cad!
@thedutchwidows Feb 2022
Super funky guitar! This has a really cool feel, lyrics are great and the performance spot on. That verse about the tattoo is delicious! Love the backing vocals in the chorus too. Super high quality output!
@carleybaer Feb 2022
Hahahaha this is great! The second verse is hilarious. What a hapless character. My favorite thing by far though is those backup vocals. "... to the Y!!" What a fun track, definitely worth the time you spent on it!
