Write a song about how everyone keeps trying to nail your MILF mama.

Watch 2001 a Space Odyssey 12 times in a row, then without sleeping first, write The Ballad of Hal 9000.

Seriously, I haven't written a song (or even really played my own music) since things started going well for me.  Funny thing, that.

mmm...irony.

can someone write a song about the inability to write songs because of a lack of depression?

though wouldn't that create a paradox sorta?

When things are going well, you have spare cash, and spare cash leads to you doing stuff.

When things are not going well, no spare cash, and you sit in your room with a guitar since you can't afford to do anything else.

I'd have to second the "Seph's Mom" song... It has potential. Look what similar songs have done for bands like Fountains of Wayne, etc...

So true, some of my favorite bands were great when they were poor, living in their cars, eating hand sandwiches and just all around hating the world (and on herion), then they became popular, starting making lots of money, getting laid constantly (checked into rehab) and then suddenly, the next album was complete crap.

For a 1st album, the band had their whole lifetime to write it.  For the next ones they have less time.  Duhhhh, I'm smart.  :P

Where have you ever seen a chick with teeth?  I've only heard rumors that they even had a head!

I got a chick to give me head once, but then she said she didn't have any more afterwards.

You should do a cover of Chicago's "Your My Inspiration"

Then when everybody gets done kicking your ass you'll be depressed again.

problem solved

does this count as a helpful post?

Sorry, it doesn't. Your post/worthwhile ratio continues to fall. It's no where near Stingray though. So smile.

Yeah, but it COULD be .000000000000000000000000000001% like mine.  I'm striving to get up to Stingray's level, but I'm starting to like his philosophy and may start to try a little less each day.

Do a cover of Slade's 'come on feel the noise'.   No ones done that yet.

I can't remember what Slade actually DID do, and this may be your sly joke, in which case you got me, but didn't Quiet Riot do that?  I thought Slade came after them, but can't be bothered to check which might be the joke.

'course, I could be walking around on my hands talking outta ---my bottom---.

It's really a crapshoot in more ways than one ;D

Slade originally did 'come on feel the noise' and then Quiet Riot covered it.

Slade also did,  'Mama we're all crazy now'

How about the Rolling Stones' '2000 man' ?

I think once he realizes that he will no longer get post counts for posting in EE will set him off in a downward spiral toward depression.

He may even get so depressed that he'll end up writting country songs.

Duct tape or scotch tape?

This reminds me of a joke. Unfortunately, I forgot it in the time I wrote it. Much like Chad Tower, it wasn't very funny, and just made people feel uncomfortable.
