Ok, here's my version of a folk submission. Another original. It's called:

Pusse-y Willow:

Out on the street and you don't know what to do
Pick pickle in your pocket that's taking over you
1:45 and the bars are closing soon

But with a hop skip jump you can still get in the one by you
Where there's a pickin of the pusse-y you can take out home with you

Pick pick pick pick that pusse-y that's good for you
Pick pick pick pick that pusse-y Willow she's tried and true
Pick pick pick pick that pusse-y that's good for you
Pick pick that pusse-y then pick a dingle berry or two

So you picked that pusse-y named Willow now you think she's a bitch
You lost $200 but you gained the Sunday itch
Won't tell your friend cause you know that he's a snitch

You burned through your paycheck like that burning in your dick
You pick pick picked some pusse-y that now has got you sick

Pick pick pick pick that pusse-y that's good for you
Pick pick pick pick that pusse-y Willow she's tried and true
Pick pick pick pick that pusse-y that's good for you
Pick pick that pusse-y then pick a dingle berry or two

Pick pick pick pick that pusse-y that's good for you
Pick pick pick pick that pusse-y Willow she's tried and true
Pick pick pick pick that pusse-y that's good for you
Pick pick that pusse-y then pick a dingle berry or two

Ummmmmm…..wow.
I’m gonna hafta wake up a bit more, and let that one sink in a bit.
Happy Sunday!
Scratches as he heads off to the coffee pot…..
 
Holy pop filter! @Sapient performs a piece practically peppered with a playfully prurient plight.

this, I don't believe, is anything about rescuing a kitten from the animal shelter, is it?

Really nice engineering and production. It works great, the audio space. Lyrically playful, but of a tongue twister. Not easy!
Love the pace too, bouncy bass!

You have personality and skills bro! Another fine submission!

Thank you @LiveeviL2000

Eleven days remain in Main Event Round 2 my brothers.

Expect a flood of submissions to come in over the next week... by my calculation up to a possible TWENTY-SIX more entries in the various categorizations allowed: Rock-to-Folk, Folk-to-Rock, and Punk'd

Remember, in the event of a tied vote, the earlier submission wins so delaying your
entry may work against you if the vote is close.

Ok, lets make that twenty-five submissions we have to wait for, this one is the opposite of fun and light, sorry!

My take on the Barry Mcguire version of "Eve of Destruction" with an "Edgy" guitar treatment, and a lyrical update.
It was an anti-war protest song released in 1965, written by PF Sloan. "Eve" actually knocked "Help" by the Beatles out of
#1 position on the Billboard charts back in the day. I chose it because it's a nice compliment to my Megadeth submission,
"Symphony" being another destruction-themed song.


Sorry about the choppy "something to look at" video. It's better than a blank screen.
I actually made a real video, not suitable here.

Production notes:
I had fun doing the ping-pongy pans of the bitey echo guitar track, never tried that before, and I was able to utilize sends to another track for the first time for reverb and a stereo separation plugin I was digging. It's kind of a headphone thing.
I also employed a light touch of gritty gain on my vocal for the very first time, but kept it subtle.

Four guitar tracks. One echoey high bite, one lower clean delay chugga rhythm, one dirty power chord chugga rhythm no echo, one open chord clean that's hardly in the mix

Learning when enough is enough is still a challenge. Always wanted to try something in the "Edge" sort of vein but getting that vibe down was tricker than I thought it would be.

First off, great vibe to this whole piece! The atmosphere is thick with that ghostly swirling “circling the drain” guitar sound. Really adds to the fresh lyric take. I loved the use of panning…something that I’ve, sadly, fallen away from for a long time. I can tell that there was some passion injected into this production, and imho..it paid off. Well done indeed!!!

Leave it to thatbastard to describe my latest masterwork as "circling the drain" LOL!!! Look at me in vitos podium chart, Third the Turd!

iu


I am very pleased to now be done for this round and be able to make it my new full time job to goad the rest of you slackers for the next ten days

Again. there is no longer a requirement for any submissions for anyone for this round.
The official Guitar Duels are done. All main event submissions are fully optional if you choose.
However, if you don't, you'll definitely fall behind in the @LiveeviL2000 RiffMaster Billboard Charts
