I write lots of fragments down for future song use. I had "kinda sorta perfect" written down and had to build a song around it somehow. It was originally "She's Kinda Sorta Perfect", but decided to increase my potential audience by making it ambiguous. I also just lost some of my potential audience by using the word "ambiguous".
Anyway, it was going to be punk, but turned it into some sort of bouncy pop-alt-punk-rock-ish thing. Kinda sorta the perfect blend.
All Sorts of media showing me all the time
Things I’m supposed to need
Tell me how I’m supposed to be
Everyone has a life better than mine
Pictures and videos of exquisite specimens
That don’t phase me
I think they’ve kinda crazy
Cause being with you is no comparison
You don’t quite fit into a box
You go to the beach in knee high socks
You’re kinda
Sorta
You’re kinda sorta perfect
You’re kinda
Sorta
You’re kinda sorta perfect
When we met you knew every line
Of songs by McCartney
Games from Atari
Even the great Young Frankenstein
(It’s franken-STEEN!)
You drink your wine from a can
Know all the prisoners in Azkaban
You’re kinda
Sorta
You’re kinda sorta perfect
You’re kinda
Sorta
You’re kinda sorta perfect
You’re kinda
Sorta
You’re kinda sorta perfect
You’re kinda
Sorta
You’re kinda sorta perfect
You love all the games and handle wins with grace
Groan at my jokes while hiding a smirk on your face
Get dressed up when we order take out from your favorite place
Your dream vacation
is somewhere up in outer space
You’re kinda
Sorta
You’re kinda sorta perfect
You’re kinda
Sorta
You’re kinda sorta perfect
You’re kinda
(Hall of famer)
Sorta
(Guitar player)
You’re kinda sorta perfect
You’re kinda
(Entertainer)
Sorta
(Dragon Slayer)
You’re kinda sorta perfect
You’re kinda
(Wanna savor)
Sorta
(Every flavor)
You’re kinda sorta perfect
You’re kinda
(Wanna savor)
Sorta
(Every flavor)
You’re kinda
(Every flavor)
You’re kinda sorta perfect

"You drink your wine from a can
Know all the prisoners in Azkaban"
Now THAT is some killer lyric writing!
Really fun tune, And that chorus has a huge hook that will be stuck with me for a while. Nice job.
