Feb 2022 rock alternative-rock collab indie rodent
The title for the track came from me messing around with some visual pedals and I was playing with a Rat pedal... I gave the song a temporary name of Rodent...
Fast forward, @spazsquatch had agreed to put some lyrics and vocals to the track. He kept to form by using the temporary title I had given the song and wrote lyrics around this. Kudos!!
Was many FAWMers know, I typically write and record instrumental pieces. Mainly because I don't like to sing, but I love good singing... Thank you to @spazsquatch for bringing this song to life. I really love the lyrics and the vocals are killer!!
Spazsquatch: I had a good laugh about writing lyrics to a temp title, but I like how they came out. Well, actually I have mixed feelings about them, they are not exactly subtle, but they fit the style and think it turned out really well.
EDIT: Also I feel a need to point out that rats, are not generally known to carry rabies and that not everything in rock lyrics should be considered factually accurate.
[VERSE]
She plays submissive
But don’t dismiss her
You got something that she noticed
She'll be invasive
When that’s her best play
Cause that woman's like a rodent
[PRE]
Once she’s in your space, she’ll spread throughout
Lurking in the shadows till it’s safe for her to come out.
[CHORUS]
(..and they she'll)
She’ll set the trap
You’ll take the bait
An ironic twist turned tragic
Gets her teeth in you
You’re as good as though
Cause the woman's kiss is rabid
[VERSE]
She’s a deadly pest
And she will infest
Honestly you have my condolence
She needs eradication
Or extermination (cause)
That woman is just like a rodent
[PRE]
She’ll have you hearing noises all about
Hiding in the shadows till it’s safe for her to come out.
[CHORUS]
(..and they she'll)
She’ll set the trap
You’ll take the bait
It’d be funny if it wasn’t so tragic
Gets her teeth in you
You’re as good as though
Cause that woman’s kiss is rabid
[BRIDGE]
Get me animal control
Cause the woman's running wild
Get me the health inspector
Cause I’m going to lose my mind
[CHORUS]
She’ll set the trap
You’ll take the bait
An ironic twist turned tragic
Gets her teeth in you
You’re as good as though
Cause the woman kiss is rabid
[CHORUS]
She’ll set the trap
You’ll take the bait
It’d be funny if it wasn’t so tragic
Gets her teeth in you
You’re as good as though
Cause the woman kiss is rabid

Yeah! The Clash all the way.. I love this. Great guitar tone. “The Woman’s like a Rodent” holy hysterical lyrics. Eradication or extermination OMG Very fun..

So cool to hear you two in a punk rock arrangement. @spazquatch has a cool compression and I love @dreamscuba improvisation and guitar sound. Brillians collab. I don't wanna meet that woman. Toxic!

@spazsquatch thank you sir...

@tcelliott I updated the lyrics. Cheers.

Rockin' guitars. Rocking vocal. That RAT pedal is working over(drive)time. I'm not seeing the lyric match up to the music, but I'm enjoying what I'm hearing.
