David:
I’m a massive fan of Melissa's, so it was a thrill to get to work with her on this track. There’s a warmth and wit to her songs, which I really wanted to lean into here. This is your basic ‘two idiots fight over a girl who neither will ever get’ number. We’ve all been there.
Melissa:
I was very hono(u)red when David asked me to co write my first international collaboration. It was fun to pull out my improv and acting chops in this tune and I hope you all enjoy!
[Spoken intro]
[Melissa]
Oh, that girl down the street she's pretty fine
Don’t you know I've seen it too
I was thinking, Saturday night
Taking her out for a bite
[David]
Don’t pick her, you should pick me
I’m the one you really want
I can show you a real good time
Take you out on Saturday night
[CH]
Pick me baby, don’t you be unkind
Pick me baby, you’ll be satisfied
Pick me baby, I'm the one you need
Baby, won't you please pick me
[Melissa]
I really think that me and her would get along swell
David please don't take any offense
Cause I'm much better at sweet conversation
And everything you say is nonsense
[David]
Well, Melissa it ain't my fault
If you’re getting somewhat confused
It’s no exaggeration, but a little education
Would tell you who she’s gonna choose
[CH]
[BRIDGE]
If you pick him he'll forget your birthday
(If you pick her she'll lead you astray)
I don't think that's true
(Well I think it's true)
According to who?
(According to...)
[CH]
Pick me (Pick me)....

This is really fun, and I'm smiling all the way through. The bridge was a really nice moment after all the stomp. But the stomping is really nice too.
@dzdandcunfsd Mar 2022
This was a hilariously good time. Very old-school vibe to this I find especially endearing... mixed in with some subject matter that would of been taboo until relatively recent years, and unfortunately still is in some places... You guys sound great together as well! More please :D
@cts Mar 2022
Hahahaha! Whimsical, fun; just an all out good time! Again, when collaborations happen in FAWMland, it's nothing short of magical. I like the contrast of your vocals. Excellent chemistry and smart writing. And with Mr. Taro on the music = sonic goodness! Well done, folks!
@danvaillancourt Mar 2022
Made me smile from note one. Oh my. This is amazing. I love the whole story, the honky-tonky-bluesly piano, the spoken work bits... I laughed out loud many times. Great production. But just a FYI, David... I'm going to end all my comments on your songs from now on with "everything you say is nonsense." ;) So Good.
@nancycunning Mar 2022
Oh, a feel-good smack-down song. I feel like there oughta be a whole musical written around this song. It feels like all the smart funny poppy songs that came out of musicals like Little Shop of Horrors and Hairspray and Avenue Q. Great collaboration, you two.
@n24 Feb 2022
I love the spoken intro! Absolutely love ‘I was thinking of making my move,’ ‘smooth!’ Absolutely cracking lyrics, really lively and a great sense of competitive spirit. The bridge in particular is such a wonderful back and forth! Love the rhythm and percussion in this track, it suits the energy perfectly. Great performance from both of you as well, really selling the argument :) incredible work both
@nahlej381 Feb 2022
Oooooo a new tune…love the vintage opening…this song is dope! Checks all my classic rock n roll appreciation with a nice modern twist! Really wonderful back and forth and the production is perfect. That’s her brother! Lol I almost choked on my bong rip!!!! Damn yous! I pick you both. Sending all my love and respect via digital telepathy! (Apparently the bong rip still worked)
@tseaver Feb 2022
Wonderful collab! The fun you two are having made me smile. The humorous back-and-forth argument and sly blues bounce make for a great song.
@hbusse Feb 2022
This is hilarious! Such great fun, a huge grin on my face the whole time. You both have some acting chops as well as musical ones.
@bandybum Feb 2022
Great dialogue and that battle of vocals going on is just fab. Cool keys and guitar work driving us along.
Enormously fun and inventive - brilliantly executed. Great stuff, guys!
@oswlek Feb 2022
"That's her brother! Yay!" LOL!
This is great. The banter is so well done and the singing is terrific. I love the modern twist juxtaposed against the classic musical style. Excellent work, both of you.
@geoff61 Feb 2022
Lots of fun this
@billwhite51 Feb 2022
high energy performances satirizing a situation some may find improbable but the world is getting to be so socially outlandish that i imagine a ones predatory instincts may well escalate a mating game into a territorial conflict-of-interest blitzkreig.
@richaaaay Feb 2022
How could you not have fun making this awesome song. Just cracks me up to think about what it was like for you two to collaborate on this. Really sweet guitar licks going on right before the bridge and during the outro. Having fun making music...So great! Bravo!!!
@gm7 Feb 2022
LMAO..this a great fun song. I am glad i picked this song to listen to.
@ayehahmur Feb 2022
Massive grin. This song is just bursting with fun. Wow, thanks guys, I really needed that.
@nadine Feb 2022
Thanks for the entertainment in my lunch break! You made my day. Great playing and it's fun to listen to you two fighting about the girl next door. Your vocals work so well together, that's splendid! Why don't you just pick each other - problem solved xD
@coolparadiso Feb 2022
Lovely balance, you got ya growl Davo, matches up nicely with melissa. Good entertaining fun song. Well done of course!
@max Feb 2022
Oh, this would work really well, played in front of a live audience!
Great collab you two. So much fun. Love the performance.
