Song A Week 2016 - Look In Yer Heart

I didn't do a song last week and man, the outcry!  Wow.  The reason was that last week's song was destined to be a remix of a Grampa Big Balls recording titled Tip Of A Red Hot Penis that I made some years ago   Remixing?  A breeze. All fine and dandy.  Then I started making the video for the sound piece, comprised of thousands of stills, each displayed anywhere from .11 of a second to .22 of a second.   The collection of images alone has been a time consuming process and when I finally got to making the video, it took me 8 hours to make one minute and forty seconds of video....for a six minute noise piece.

So it has become apparent that that particular piece will be an ongoing work and I figured I'd better get back on the horse.  Before the horse keeled over and drowned in a ditch.  I've been singing this number from the past and decided to give it a whirl......a reboot of an old Dogbreath Brothers song, Look In Yer Heart.

Funny how a song changes through the lens of twenty years.  Here it is.  

And yah, that's Jerome presiding over the recording.

  

Look In Yer Heart

words and music by David P. Smith

Don't go lookin for yourself in a bottle

you'll just crash and burn

you won't find yourself in a reefer

when will you ever learn

You ain't funny when you're wasted

you don't talk too smart

Next time you go lookin for yourself

try lookin in yer heart

I'll throw you down

to the ground

kick you in the back

kick you 'til you hork and hack

and cough up your soul so black

You see yourself in the TV

but it ain't really you

Don't go lookin in some magazine

to tell you what to do

You don't need no gurus

them fellas don't talk so smart

Next time you go lookin for yourself

try lookin in your heart

I'll pick you up by the collar

and give your head a slap

don't give me no backtalk

I'm tired of your crap
