I was talking to OneWingedAngel earlier on MSN - she said that'd make a good song title....I haven't written anything for the SSG for a few weeks, but, hey you take inspiration wherever you get it from.....
Screw The Neighbours!
Well the wife's out playing bingo,
And the daughters working tonight,
Just me and a bottle of booze,
Some guitars and I'm feelin' alright.....
Pick up the telecaster,
Might just let her rock,
Crank the amp up all the way to 10,
And to hell with the rest of the block,
Screw the neighbours,
They don't have to listen,
I say screw the neighbours,
They don't know what they're missing
Well I put new strings on yesterday,
And I'm about ready to roll,
And if the neighbours don't dance, all I can say,
They ain't got no souls....
I say screw the neighbours,
They can always move away,
I say screw the neighbours,
I ain't turning it down no way,
Well they can laugh at my hair,
I just don't care,
Don't give a shit what they think,
And if they start a fight,
'Cause they're in the right,
It'll be over in a blink.....
I say screw the neighbours,
They can crawl back in their holes,
I say screw the neighbours,
If they don't like rock'n'roll.....
Also thanks to OWA, she said the first chorus was a bit weak....so I changed it.....it was:
Screw the neighbours,
They can always buy earplugs.
Screw the neighbours,
They can go hide under a rug......
And yes, I do hate the neighbours.....they play loud music at 8am when they're getting the kids up for school, but they once reported me for having loud music on at 8pm.....and they play disco/garage/r'n'b rubbish that seems to consist of drums and bass....where's the guitars?
Like I said, "Screw the Neighbours" - they want a music war they can have one...keep waking me up, they'll find out just how loud a 15W Cube amp can be........
:D :D :D

GN's theme song!?!?

Everything is 42..... again.
"GN's theme song!?!?"
OOH - I'd love to think so! For now, I'll settle for playing it VERY loudly tomorrow when I know the ******** neighbours are in.....and if they play one more westlife song, or that bloody titanic theme once more, I really won't be responsible.....
I really don't want to piss the neighbours off, but hey, they started it......
5.07 am - picks up Tele, plays "When the man comes around"....

Nice one, Vic. It's amazing how loud a 15W guitar amp can sound; must be something to do with the quality of the speakers they put in 'em.
I remember moving house in 1996. I'd just found all the bits and got the hi-fi wired up and asked the first Mrs Green to "announce our arrival to the neighbours". What did she play? Peter <rude word> Andre's Mysterious <rude word> girl. That's what. A four bedroomed detached house and she played Peter <rude word> Andre. Aaaaaaaaaaahhhhh!!!!!! I got to the hi-fi and stuck on Led Zep II. Turned the volume up. There are times when you just have to teach your neighbours a lesson about things.

If this was written just for fun then mission accomplished. any serious thought though and I would really have to hear the music first before making up my mind. Can you post joke songs here? I only ask because some sites don't like you to post them when people are trying to get serious reviews of their work.
"Join the crazed institution of the stars... be the man that you think you really are... and you can wear a crown of roses around your cranium, live and die upon your cross of platinum..."
So it came across as a little facetious? Hmmmm - I suppose my tongue was slightly in cheek when I wrote it, but the sentiments behind it stand....just my way of getting the point across. Another possible factor was that when OWA said "that'd make a good song title" I hadn't written anything really rock-orientated in a while so it seemed a good way of venting my spleen, while being slightly ironic at the same time....
I'm going to have a go at recording this tonight, maybe it's just one of those songs that needs to be heard rather than read.....
And yes we do live next door to loud, inconsiderate, dirty, foul-mouthed lager-lout neighbours....this is my way of having a dig at them...
:D :D :D

You should set up a recorder next to the wall so that when they knock back on the wall screaming at you, you can sample it at the end of the song as it fades out. Like pink floyd.
yaaaaaaaaaaaaay.

I really like this song. I'll have to check out the mp3 afterwards but the theme is very common. I really like my neighbours, but I am aware of some of my family and friends neighbours who are terrible.
I would think abouting changing "No way" into today. I know its a very small thing, but I can reacall conversations I've had with my friends about a strong dislike of the phrase "No way". I think "today" just has a nicer ring. Even if it is taking place in the night.

AWESOME SONG!!!!!!!!
I haven't been in here for awhile, apparently! I can't help but think that I inspired the song just a little bit with my "pro jr. must be pretty loud." thread.
I still hate my neighbors for that one day, even though, I never talked to them before or after. SCREW EM.
