Here's a rough version of a tune I've been working on.
Where did you ever get this song title, Steve?
Well,....traveling down the road on the bus this past year, our FOH (that's Front of House) sound engineer, Kevin, mentioned a line that became the title of this song. I believe he said his Mom used to say this, "Mama Gonna Whoop You". So I took up my personal challenge to come up with something using said childhood warning as a title or "hook" as it's called in the songwriting world. Lyrics came first, then I added the melody later "whilst" tweaking the lyric as I went.
What's your excuse for such silliness?
If anything, it's a songwriting exercise. I have no idea who would sing this besides me. The idea is to just keep writing!. Hope you enjoy watching my singing head since when I film this I failed to have my guitar in the shot as well. But there you have it. I'm not going to record this againnnn!
