Feb 2022 skirmish children jazzy food needs-music
Prompt: Sausage
I wrote this thinking about my now 20 year old son who loves sausage! No matter what we had he always wanted sausage. In fact today he came down for breakfast and my wife had made a lovely brunch and the first thing he said was “Is there sausage?”
At least now we only have low fat turkey or soy sausages in the house!
This is dedicated to him and all children who like sausage! I would love to have some children’s music for this! Very rough voice recorder iPhone demo idea included but I am open to your musical ideas!

I love this so much, it's silly but doesn't feel goofy. The backstory is relatable and your lyrics are clever and catchy. Nice work!

I like the variant chorus lines, and the well-placed "sausage" sneaked in the middle of every list of food. Reckon it'd have kids giggling for days every time they heard the word!

Awww. It's so much fun to feed people what they love. I like the rhythm and the lists.
(Aside: Your story and song got me thinking about the last event before Covid for me was the annual Pancake supper at our church to mark Mardi Gras aka Fat Tuesday before Lent starts on Ash Wednesday, and every year we would have these yummy little sausage links that came in a five pound box from Western Beef. And it seemed like life would be like that every year for ever, but I haven't had a sausage since. Funny how food opens up into so many big feelings.)

Egg noodles and sausage...??? Genius! This legit will be dinner one day next week!
Oh I can def hear a full boozy jazz accompaniment for this.
Mmm...red beans and rice with some andouille sausage!!!
Ok, I can see now this prompt is going to...prompt me to have sausage and something for dinner tonight!
Definitely a nice vocal sketch; i'm sure someone can take this and make a unique jazz piece - you say children's music...mixing that with a jazzy sound reminds me of those musical numbers from Disney films like Princess and the Frog. That would be cool, especially with this subject matter.
lol at your son immediately asking where's the sausage

Great demo. Good to hear you. Fun way to appease the sausage eaters (like me).
@treble Feb 2022
This is a GREAT children's song and what a great tribute to sausages. I really like the flow of the chorus.

I can definitely hear a children's song style production and vocal for this :)
What a lot of fun :) and sausages yum !
