Feb 2022 superskirmish ss020422b funk sleazy technically-a-skirmish
So, this is technically a superskirmish song, so I flagged it as one. The prompt was 'meeting'.
I work for a film festival in Toronto that runs a program called 'Deal Maker', and a sister program called 'Distribution Rendezvous'. They are sort of speed dating things where buyers and film producers meet one-on-one for long enough to hear a brief pitch about a project. Our festival registration was opening this last week and during the superskirmish the festival was top of mind. The 'meeting' prompt instantly had me think about work, and that led to the Deal Maker program.
It didn't take long for me to realize that the entire thing had oodles of double entendre potential and I cranked out a funky bassline to drive it along, and enough electric piano to give it a little harmonic direction.
I was happy with it, but I thought it could use a little porno guitar, and it turns out that @nahlej381 liked the idea of dropping a little sleaze on my track. Then he decided my 8-bar midi bass wasn't sleazy enough, so he replaced that. Mixed it with a little polyester leisure style and this one is ready to seduce your earholes.
So this song is more like the love child of a little magic that happened on noon PST - 2pm CST - 3pm EST- 8pm GMT - 7am AEDT Feb 5 than an actual skirmish, but hey sometimes you just have to go where the feeling takes you.
Finally... #14 (balloons dropping...)
[VERSE]
Hey, what you got there!
Looks like something I might, want to see
You got all of my attention
Now just let me, take a peek.
Are we gonna rendezvous
When are we gonna meet?
We can work through the details later
I just gotta know do you want to get with me?
[CHORUS]
Ewwwwwww, I’m a deal maker
Taking a look would be my pleasure (cause you see baby)
Ewwwwwww, I’m a deal maker
Do you want to come together (with me)
[VERSE]
Looked at my schedule
Think I can move around some things and slide you in
Just a couple minutes one on one
To know if this thing happening
No promise it works out
But I won’t waste any of your time
If you got a need that I can service
I’ll get your sign-off on my dotted line.
[CHORUS]
Ewwwwwww, I’m a deal maker
Got a feeling it will, be my pleasure (you see I’m a)
Ewwwwwww, I’m a deal maker
Might make you an offer that’s exactly what you need..
[BRIDGE]
What you’re selling.
Looks compelling
And I’m feeling like it’s something everyone would want to see
You stand out from a crowd.
And now I know you want to let it out.
Put it in my hands baby and I can get you that release (cause)
[OUTRO]
Ewwwwwww, I’m a deal maker
Got a feeling it will, be my pleasure (you see I’m a)
Ewwwwwww, I’m a deal maker
Make a connection, come together with me
Ewwwwwww, I’m a deal maker
Gonna stake a claim on that treasure
Ewwwwwww, I’m a deal maker
But my offer won’t but won’t last forever
Ewwwwwww, I’m a deal maker
It’s getting HOT, somebody call the DOC
Ewwwwwww, I’m a deal maker
GOT AN OFFER THAT YOU, WON’T BELIEVE

This is such a good song. Very nice bass work and the rest of the instrumentation is nice, too. Vocals sit nicely on top of everything, and delivery is effective. The rhythm is quite groovy. And I agree about the lyrics -- lots of potential double meaning in everything. Really liked listening to this. Thanks for sharing! #tit4tat

Wow this bassline and how cool are the guitars?! I smell the polyester. Uarghs, wanna get outta hear. Top notch production. Definately a keeper and one of the coolest and most non-standard songs I heard this FAWM. #tit4tat

Yassss!
Always joy to listen music with decent bass groove.
A++ production for this 70's style funkish pornmovie opening track.

THIS IS BEYOND COOL. that 70s sound some jazzy stuff mixed with a little funk and that BASS. I wish I could write something like this.
DOWNLOADED!!!!

Okay...so initially I got the Doors, but moving on to the heart of the tune and the arrangement I felt Boz Scaggs and I LOVE IT!! Y'all put something very special. Double entente is fun literary device and it works in spades here. Nahlej's production work is solid here and I'm thinking "where the (needle scratch) did this sucka come up with this bass line?" Ugh...I can't stand it. Alright - going in on my 2nd listen.

This is fab! Love the groove. Right from the start the electric piano, bass and drums just set the mood. Then that awesome guitar strum then the melody riff, which is perfect. Then the fun lyrics. Great tune! Listening a second time…It’s catchy!
@deathboy Feb 2022
Funk for MIIIIILES. Superb vocal style. All fits together in a delightful, might I even say "greasy" way :D There's some sleaze to it, and I love that. And you gotta adore that @nahlej381 ;) Great work!
@codeenergy Feb 2022
3 seconds in and already Cowboy Bebop vibes almost. Just missing the horns but they are clearly not needed for this track!! This whole thing porno and I am happy to enjoy all 4 minutes of content. Sell this to the hub! Yall got money.
@daveescoffery Feb 2022
I love the funky rhythm and the porno guitars. And your vocals fit the mood here perfectly. Great song!
