Description When I first took a look at macjams today, I saw that my song "Mr. Simpson" got really bombed (!), and instead of the usual rants, I decided to just write a song about it - take off a little steam. That being said, I have been following the threads on the rating rants and I think some very usable ideas have been put forth. Yoo-hoo... admin..... are you listening?
Lyrics Mr. Simpson got bombed today
he became distressed and perplexed, in a Mr. Simpson kind of way
but he got a hold of himself
and he asked me if I could play this little ditty
because he has this for me to say

listen to “Mr. Simpson”
he’s on macjams and waiting for you
so please do come on by

yes, it’s my shameless self-promotion
better than creating another commotion
around this whole rating thing
it can really mess things up
and bring things down
in a big way
when all most people really wanna do
is just play

you know, I don’t know why,
but I have this terrible sinking feeling
that I should have gone into jingle writing
you know, for commericals, and that sort of thing

listen to “Mr. Simpson”
he’s on macjams and waiting for you
so please do come on by
please do come on by
please do come on by

cute song
i liked your conversational voice, very melodic and
appealing. Wonderful piano! I was trolling thru your back
catalog...you are a very talented songwriter!


said 1375 days ago
I came
on by and loved Mr. Simpson.
So this tune is the result of something negative. Isn't life
interesting.
Well done

daphna said 1374 days ago
I came
thanks for that themasses, and especially for visiting "Mr. Simpson". Yeah, I
would have never written this if it weren't for that bombing silliness. Cheers.

Tom Atwood said 1375 days ago
What's your fee?
I have a few songs of my own on this site that could use
similar promotion. I'll have my people call your people.
(This could be a good career move for you Daphne.)

mandolinquent said 1375 days ago
Excellent!
So sharply funny; all that fury concealed. I love "terrible
sinking feeling" verse. Really wonderful writing.

Tom Atwood said 1375 days ago
FYI
In case you missed it, Daphne, this piece was at the top of
the weekly picks (8.71 I think) before it got bombed. Sorry
about that.

mandolinquent said 1375 days ago
FYI
Was that somebody's idea of a <i>really</i> funny conceptual joke, bombing
this song? Sheesh. Somebody out there has potty training issues.

daphna said 1374 days ago
FYI
awesome. Thanks for letting me know Tom, I did indeed miss that moment of
glory!

Joanna said 1375 days ago
Sweeeeet
Man, I LOVE your jazz piano playing! Holy cow, that's
really something!

frml said 1375 days ago
neato!
wow, i really enjoyed this. i had fun through the whole
song. kinda reminded me of a Squirell nut zippers jam. i
dig your ivory ticklin'

daphna said 1374 days ago
neato!
thanks for your comments frml, and on the other tune as well. I have no idea
what the squirrel reference is, but it inspired me to post my own comment
down below (please see "thanks guys and gals"). What is that squirrel thing
anyway?? Cheers : )

bronco said 1375 days ago
Absolutely Right
Wonderful! Gave you three 9's and a 10 to make up for
whichever of our illiterate, psycho-lobotomized, tv
hypnotized, no sense of music history or style delinquents
who bombed you. If I just knew who they were I could
reccomend a good therapist and a daily dose of good
music from the past and present to at least give them a
chance to have a clue!

jgurner said 1374 days ago
What better way....
...to shamelessly self promote your song than through another song. Of course, now you will have to write another song to promote the song promiting Mr. Simpson, then write a song promoting the song, promoting the song promoting Mr. Simpson...and so on, and so on...

Very clever. Very well done. Enjoyed it very much.

daphna said 1374 days ago
thanks guys and gals
for all your wonderful feedback. It is really funny (for lack
of a better word) how this one got bombed too. I would
love to drop a sack of melted peanut butter on their head,
see how they like it. Oooohh, did I really say that?!? Cheers
: )

Emily Rohm said 1374 days ago
Cute.
Love that piano. Does kind of sound like a Squrirrel Nut
Zippers tune here and there... (they are a jazz/swing
band).

Oh, irony. Sorry your bomb-song got bombed.

What I'm really wondering is: Why do you have so many
pictures of llamas...?

stealthgear said 1374 days ago
uhhh
awesome vocals.
I hate the guiro shakerrrr percussion sound or whatever it
is called. sorry, but I just hate those things.

who is the hell is mr. simpson

said 1374 days ago
Love your sense of humor
Your performance here is excellent too.
And Randy Newman and Prince have made money doing
jingles. :)

TobinMueller said 1373 days ago
Totally cute ditty
Totally cute. Love the jingle writing line. Barry Manilow
would be proud. Very fun, healing track. Your sense of
play and talent make a great combination. Llamas are too
shabby either.

John Stebbe said 1370 days ago
Vibra-Slap!
Love the vibra-slap sound! Why not use it, it's there.

Your singing is so refreshing and original. Reminds me of
Blossom Dearie. Sounds light and carefree.

And your jazz piano is very good.

What piano sound are you using?


daphna said 1369 days ago
Vibra-Slap!
thanks for your comments John. For piano I'm using the one called "Moody
Piano". (or maybe it's called "Moody Grand", but in any case, came with GB)

Cantor said 1334 days ago
i LOVE it!!
that's the right spirit! YES! GO INTO JINGLE WRITING!! i'll
be singing this all day!

daphna said 1330 days ago
i LOVE it!!
thanks again there Cantor. I would LOVE to get into jingle writing, but no way
in at the moment.... so what's new???
