Don't tell anyone as I'll deny it ever happened but writing the bit earlier about "Before the Drugs, the Hookers, and the Private Jet Aircraft" got me thinking about "Who's Crying Now" because it features prominently in the story.
That led to the thinking, instead of sitting about thinking about it, fuckin' play it.
The chords are Am | F | Dm, Em | Am for the chorus which, coincidentally, is the same as the verse.
Ed: hard song!
Go ahead and laugh. They only made a billion dollars or so on it. Ha!
Plus it was my glorious debut in a cowboy bar I could never find again even if threatened with a sex change into some sex which hasn't even been invented yet.
The chords were played into the looper with sweet sound plus some flanger for the guitar so I could switch to distortion for the lead and get all Motown on it.
After that came the sweetest words to hear, "Did you record that?"
And then the wrongest answer, "Nope."
It doesn't matter what I say after that since Nope already makes the fail. There was a lame promise of 'next time.'
I really do want to record a video while wearing that used tux. I want to wear the RayBans since that will look so Genghis Khan, right?
Ed: or a dope dealer
I've seen the movies. They always wear conventional suits. That's how you can tell them from the FBI guys since the gangsters always have the most expensive suits.
Ed: still just promises, promises on recording
Yep, this I know.
Cat may not freak since it will surprise her in playing anything so she will probably shelve thoughts of murder or, worse, contempt for covering the song even if I just knock off the chorus which is the same as the verse so I can get to screwing around and wailing.
Ed: wailing is good?
Yes, it's the best part.
I have no interest in singing it because, well, most of the time I don't care what's in the lyrics. I just want the melody and now we can go to town.
Because sometimes you just have to do that thing you do.
I love that song for the good vibe of it and for being the case study in crafting a pop song. It's one thing to do that when you're twenty but it's different when you're in your forties as some Hollywood big shot and you have to think, well, what are the ingredients for a pop song. I think they did a masterful job of it because the music is perfect for it and it gets the feel of it.
So, you know, that thing you do.
