The Wall Of Shame

A story about one's brick wall.

"Tricking The Tax Man"

"Would You Do That For Me?"

"You Listen Too Much"

"It's Just Another Bottle"

"Too Much Information"

"What's That Doing There?"

"Tornados & Trucks"

"My In-Laws Are The Real Axis Of Evil"

"Extended Family Blues"

"I Just Wanna Keep Driving"

"Oysters & Jello Don't Mix"

"Mud Wrestling Queen Of My Dreams"

"The 2-Fingered Carpenter"

Gee...I could go on all day! This is as much fun as weird band names!

some of those are workable..."I just wanna keep driving"....I like that one...and "The 2-Fingered Carpenter".....I can see that as a blues song....

Debbie, I thought of this for a great Country song title a long time ago, but have never and will never use it. Help yourself to it. 86/14 sounds good to me.

And the title is ....... (drumroll please):
"Not Tonight, Dear, I Have a Heartache"

Hope it makes us lots of moolah. How many zeros in a KAZILLION?

I can do that....easily write that....I'll get back with you on it.

Are you ready for this?.....I'll have to put music to it tomorrow...


Not Tonight Dear, I Have A Headache

I offered her some Tylenol
Since the Advil didn’t work at all
I slipped a Valium in her tea….
That only made her fall fast asleep.

So what’s a man supposed to do?
It’s been a month and now they’re turning blue.
I don’t think I should have to beg…
It’s sad but true the dog gets more hump’en on my leg….

Chorus:
And I don’t think I can hold back anymore…
I’m head’en down to the local jewelry store…
I gave her diamonds, oh for heaven’s sake…
I still hear..those words…..
Not tonight dear…I have a headache.

So I’ve given up the fight….
It’s been so long now it hardly crosses my mind
I’ve reconciled that this is how it’s gonna be….
And fall asleep to infomercials on TV….

Chorus:
Then one night, she snuggled, and whispered in my ear…
Those words, I’ve waited, for many weeks to hear…
I turned to her and all that I could say…
Are the words…
Not tonight dear, I have a headache.

Debbie, it's not bad. And someone correct me if I'm wrong. But the title Ratsass presented was about a heartache, not a headache. Which I think set up a much more interesting title and subject to write about.

I'm gonna have to say.. I'd rather see a song written about the heartache scenario from a woman's perspective by a woman, than the headache scenario written from a man's perspective by a woman. I hope that didn't come across as sexist. I really don't mean to come across that way. That would have just been more interesting to me.

Still not bad though. You do seem to have a knack for writing Country songs.

Yeah, Shredd nailed it as far as what I was thinking. Debbie, you could use yours and change it back to "Not Tonight, I have a Headache" and use it as a humorous song, but (against my usual grain), I meant it as a serious song, maybe about a woman that can't have the one she truly loves and so, settles for what she can have. You did add a dimension I hadn't thought of though in writing it from a man's perspective and that could actually work out better (as in She kept saying, not tonight dear, I have a heartache, and in the end she gave in but too late and he said it to her, like you did with the song). You definitely have some writing skills and can write quickly. I can write songs quickly if I have a reason, but so many years of having bands that I couldn't get to do originals has cramped my style.

Ecchhh let her write what she writes..chances are you could even intro it with the heartache thingie and no one would catch on.

Debbie, they teach us in advertising to eavesdrop. We were literally asked to go sit at some place public and listen to what they say. You then write some of it down, the stuff that catches your ears. Then you just rearrange it into a song, a jingle or whatever you need for that account.

Works very well. Turns you into a spy though.. lol

As for song titles? Well now, let's see what comes off the top of my pointy head..

How about ;

Drunken Beach..

or Same stuff, different dog..

Swimming in the wading pool again..

or Don't step on me with your new boots

Time for a little love potion ..

feel free to steal and chop it up as you see fit.. lol

(Im not hard to please) is what comes to mind right off the top of my head for a cointry song, Or (moon light misses beautiful kisses.) Hey Deb, check out your blast. Ray

Oh yea I really like the songs Looking for the light and Hear the drums the best But holy moly you got a cajillian songs What is the span of these creation?

Debbie, I thought of this for a great Country song title a long time ago, but have never and will never use it. Help yourself to it. 86/14 sounds good to me.

Dude...I am really, really sorry about that....I read the words wrong...but I can certainly write a very good country song with the title you provided...a serious one.

However, I rather like the humerus one too....kind of funny.

Ecchhh let her write what she writes..chances are you could even intro it with the heartache thingie and no one would catch on.

I've been doing that for years....along with amusing myself by going into the Super Wal Mart and checking out all the crazy combination of things people have in their carts....duct tape, rope, crazy glue, ky jelly, adult diapers..etc....kind of makes you go...HUH?
