Hi Thrustin,

I agree with tore and duga that your song is technically solid...*very* well played, just like your others...and sounds like it could be a serious song.

As someone who once wrote a poem that I quite liked about menstruation (holding up a bloody tampon by the string looks remarkably like holding up a dead mouse by the tail) and other bodily secretions, I tend to be a fan of songs that deal directly with bodily functions rather than pretending there is something wrong with them. Yours is surprising because it doesn't make any effort to sound funny other than through the words. If I recall, that is part of your sense of musical humor: making the listener unsure about what is true about a song (serious vs. humorous).

I remember reading your posts when you first joined MB, and I had wanted to respond long before this, but then I couldn't remember your login name or the name of your "group," "Willy and the Outlaw Ramblers," to find your thread again. I remember hearing the song of you in the studio where you pretend to be various people...the producer telling the bass player to play notes lower than they exist on the bass, if I recall. That was very funny! "Rehearsal 4 string"...that's the one! I remember some MB members were irate that the producer was so nasty...they didn't realize it's all Willy. I'll have to listen to more of your songs to see what's new since back in June.

Apropos snakes vs. logs, mentioned in your song on poop...I have decided that diet determines the shape/consistency. Vegetarians tend to make snakes..at least that is my hypothesis based on several observations of, um, what's in the pot.
