Milked
 

Just finished our new music video to the song "Milked" last night:

speechless

Liked it!

Singing those Libertarian blues... :1orglaugh :1orglaugh :helpme

"I need a job,
They gave me Obamacare,
Drones, blood, and fire,
Dropped from the air.
Kick me, beat me, rape me,
I just don't care."

Clean up the vocals so they are more intelligible. #1 rule of a protest (song), make sure people know what you are protesting. :upsidedow

Also, not sure why you wrote this lyric (since you and Claudia are self-employed), "I need a job, they give me Obamacare".

If a person is unemployed, Obamacare won't cost them much if anything, and would likely benefit them.

Never let lyrics get in the way of a good rock n' roll song... :2 cents:

P.S. Lynard Skynard wants their riff back. :upsidedow

nice ... :thumbsup

Ditto.......

ADG:
The lyric about needing a job and the govt. giving Obamacare instead, was a comment on how the country was in a dire recession with unemployment through the roof...but instead of jobs the govt. spent 2009 focused on creating ObamaCare.

As for why I would write the lyric since I'm self-employed, it's a generalized statement.

Same way the Rolling Stones wrote "Gimme Shelter" even though they aren't from the U.S. and weren't involved in the Vietnam War as soldiers. Or Styxx wrote "Blue Collar Man" even though they were not blue collar men.
I was reaching out to a broader audience.

The guitar part is all in open G by the way. And the cadence of the rhythm is similar to "Call Me The Breeze" I think in retrospect. But it's not the same riff at all.
Just like "Call Me The Breeze" has the riff that sounds a lot like The Allman Brothers "One Way Out".

But no, the entire song was an exercise in open tuning. The guitar was actually inspired by The Rolling Stones "Ventilator Blues", even though it doesn't sound like it.

As for your thoughts on Libertarianism...well, you already know how misinformed I think you are. So that point is moot.
I had some things to say in the lyrics, and feel pretty good about the song.

It's all subjective anyway, so if you don't like it or the message in the song...that's cool.

That's funny. Is it for a charity or something?

Really? :error

Obama mostly inherited the dire recession, and the Obama administration began working on job creation soon after taking office in 2009 (remember the "Economic Stimulus Package" the GOP tried unsuccessfully to block), which is why the numbers have switched from a net loss during Bush's reign to a net gain in jobs during Obama's presidency.

I said the govt. spent most of 2009 focused on ObamaCare. That is historical fact. They didn't magically come up with that giant bill that was so big nobody read it on Oct. of 2009. They spent the year writing it.

Look, either accept that the song contains viewpoints that disagree with whatever yours are and move on.

It's just a song. You don't like it, fine. I could care less. :)

Lmfao!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You tried to imply that the Obama administration was so preoccupied with healthcare reform in 2009, that they totally neglected job creation.

However, before the word Obamacare was even coined, there was this:

So how many jobs creation packages have the Republicans put forth? The Libertarians? :1orglaugh

I checked the Libertarian Party platform to see their positions/policies on employment/jobs. Not much there:

Mostly just anti-Union...of course, it doesn't matter much, since the Libertarian party has almost no elected officials on any level, and could not generate 1% in the last election (after 40+ years as a political party).

This is the "Rebecca Black - Friday" of protest songs.

You Milked her in a 5 gallon bucket for da win :thumbsup

Where is the bass guitar? :1orglaugh

Thank you ADG for trashing my post about my song and video. :)

I just wanted to put it out there...but thank you so much for your input. I was so worried about what you think, but now my worries are over.

If you don't like the song...just say it sucks and then fuck off. Thanks.

Do think that the bass guitar isn't up enough in the mix? For me, it's always the hardest thing to mix just right.

It is good to watch ... You are allowed to express yourself .. and you did so in an entertaining way ...

I am not a supporter or nayer of Obamacare, as a Canadian I do not give a fuck ... But I respect your opinion and I think you did a great job of information and entertaining .

At the beginning, you really reminded me of Serge Gainsbourg ( a little bit in the posture, a lot in the image ) .

OMG Robbie!! That's so great!!

Instead of just saying your song sucks, I analyzed it, which led me to the conclusions I did about the weak lyrics/message. :2 cents:

Aside from the dubious and muddy Libertarian agitprop lyrics/message, I found your video mildly entertaining although too repetitive in parts (you should have shot more footage). As a self-made production, it's actually pretty good.

Hey, at least I didn't criticize/make fun of your mad shoveling skills in the video... :winkwink: :1orglaugh :upsidedow

I can hear my Dad saying, "Put your back into it, damn it!"... :1orglaugh:1orglaugh

whos that ugly white guy

Thanks for you criticisms ADG. Duly noted and ignored. Now I'm waiting for you to do something creative.

Some asshole that begged to be in the vid.

Sounds great !
