Here's a rocker that was really a lot of fun to do. Inspired by John's (Mr.Mom) great lyrics, Ian (Stonehead) put his unmistakable vocal mark on it with "evil" laugh and attitude throughout. A blistering rhythm section with Ian's fantastic drums and Andy's superb bass runs and riffs... it all came together really quite quickly. A great effort by everyone and a real pleasure to be creative with you all, thank you.
Lyrics: John Scunziano (Mr. Mom)
Bass: Andy Gupta (AndyG)
Drums, Vox and Keys: Ian Burrage (Stonehead)
Guitars, Music, Production: Mike Woodford (snowdoguk)
The Reaper's Basket
Lyrics John Scunziano 2011
Intro
(V1)
What do I think as you stand near my casket
Knowing you're glad that you're not me...
Pleased it's not you in the Reaper's grim basket.
Are you fearing FINALITY!!!???
(Chorus)
A tisket... a tasket - the Reapers grim basket
where I'll finally catch a few zzz's
No bankers to bill me or ladies to thrill me
My mind is now finally at ease...
As I lay here Resting In Peace.
(V2)
My eyes are glued shut and my lips sewed tight
But that's OK - I'm feelin fine
Nobody's gonna sleep with me tonight
I'm all hopped up on formaldehyde
(Chorus)
A tisket... a tasket - the Reapers grim basket
where I'll finally catch a few zzz's
No bankers to bill me or ladies to thrill me
My mind is now finally at ease...
As I lay here Resting In Peace.
Solo
(V3)
So pack me up and ship me out
I'm ready to make that final leap
I wanna know what the fuss is about
Just make sure you bury me deep...
(Chorus)
A tisket... a tasket - the Reapers grim basket
where I'll finally catch a few zzz's
No bankers to bill me or ladies to thrill me
My mind is now finally at ease...
As I lay here Resting In Peace.
Outro (repeat chorus)

Nice job guys! Very catchy! :)
-
Top shelf stuff here Mike! :)
You, Ian, and Andy worked this one out lickity-split :o
My favorite parts (Resting in Peace, Bury me Deep, and evil laugh) have me thinking that Ian went off his medications to record this. ;D
-
Thanks Mike!! A nice rocker and great write/performance/production.
Mike, John, Stoney - it was a pleasure to collab with you guys. Thanks for the invite.
Cheers
Andy

This was another really painless and rapid production and a pleasure as always guys ... As I said in the studio thread I would actually pay to go and a see this band ... and I'm a tight git ;D ;D
Great lyrics from John a super bed, mix and guitar work by Mike and a wild bass line from Andy. This beastie really rocked from the off ... resistance is futile .... a whole lot of fun ......and John ... I think my performance came from extra meds LOL
Great stuff guys
Ian

Yep, nice to get the old "axis" back for a song.. cool bass playing Andy... in fact you rocked your socks off.. super duper
-
Great tune guys :D I've been following this thread and it has finished in double quick time!
I even had a try at vocals when the bedtrack was initially posted, but lost my bottle and never posted it :-[ Just as well listening to stoney's contribution!
Excellent job by everyone involved >:D

As I said in the studio thread I would actually pay to go and a see this band ... and I'm a tight git ;D ;D
But if you go see this band then there would be no singer. ??? It would just be an instrumental. Matter of fact there would be no drummer either. ??? Just a guy with a guitar, a bass player and a Poet/lyricist standing there. Would be an interesting show. ;D
Rockin stuff guys. Sure has Ian's touch all over it. Good tune!! 8)

Hey Steve ..Never loose your bottle ...a year ago I never thought anyone would want me to croak all over their tracks ...I have to say it's fun not that I could do it live ..I like the security of a kit to hide behind :)
Dave ...Once again you are too kind
Cheers Ian
-
You guys rock! Great job all around :)
-
With a title like that, it wasn't hard to guess who'd be jumping on the vocals >:D
Another winner with Mike's, Andy's, and Stoney's distinctive style! And great lyrics too! :)

Thanks Billy, I think the only asset I bring to the team is my willingness to accept change and rewrite as directed/requested :D
The 2 songs I've worked on with Mike, I've embraced every suggestion he made - and the end result works out fine. :)
Of course, when it comes to Ian, I could simply list the ingredients on a cereal box and he would create a masterpiece. ;D

John NOOOO!!!!! ...you gave away where I get all my best song idea's from ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
;D ;D OOPS, sorry Ian - I would say I "Let the cat out of the Bag", but you might decide to make a song out of that statement. ;D ;D

Now let me see.... how would that go........
Now dont be alarmed but we just hit a snag
The embarrasing cat got free from the bag
We were breaking the ice and having a chat
And didn't expect Houdini's fat cat
To break from it's bonds and redden your face
We both wanted now to be out of the place
It broke from the darkess and into the light
Revealing it's secret with scratch and with bite..... The cat is out of the bag
;D ;D ;D ;D ;D ;D
-
;D ;D I'm beginning to think me and Ian are related :D :D
She's the world's biggest gossip, and that isn't a brag
No secret's safe when it's known by that nag
She coughs up more dirt than a tabloid rag
The minute she's informed, the cat's out of the bag...
NAG, NAG, NAG, the cat's out of the bag
WAG,WAG,WAG, her tongue's really a drag
NAG, NAG, NAG, put my WIFE in that BAG!!!!

This one Rocks ! Great delivery by Stoney ;D
