Almost had to take a lazy day here, really struggled to get this one done. But of course, if I did that, I wouldn't be able to blow it off tomorrow. Which I may very well have to do... Because I'm gonna' go see Johnathan Coulton hier soir! Booyeah, the man invented writing songs under a massive time constraint. If I get to talk to him, I might point out what I'm doing now.
Handsfree Tonight
Hello (Hello, Hello) Operator, Hello, Hello, can you give me number nine. Hello (Hello, Hello) Operator, Got to get you home on time.
We're way out past my bedtime, But I don't care, 'cause it's fine. I'm gonna' stay up late tonight.
I won't sleep anyway, I've had such a day. You're welcome to come up, And put your feet up.
I don't mind. It's alright.
But when you're gone, I know there's something I forgot to ask. Could it be your number, Oh the time has passed. Oh no...
Hello, (Hello, Hello) Operator, Hello, Hello, give me number nine. Hello, (Hello, Hello) Operator, Got to get that girl this time.
- Insert ringtone SFX solo, akin to the SFX solo in the beginning of Pink Floyd's Money -
So hello, hello, hello, Operator. Hello, Hello, give me number nine. Hello, hello, hello, operator. Can't a girl just treat me fine?
This is one of those tunes that I'll come up with while I'm cleaning myself up. I feel like I've stolen from Bread a little on the main riff, but it's distant enough that I can sing it without feeling terrible. I don't mind this song, but I wrote it really quickly, under ten minutes actually. It's very Pettit Project (Mundane guy meets girl ideology, but the song has a quirk), and I like it that way. It's simplistic, of course, the chorus dominates the song. I also didn't write a bridge, simply out of laxidasical perdition. Whatev.
