@siggy47 and @Public_N_M_E here is my crowdsourced (which I sourced to myself because I was bored) submission for a Stacker News Blues song.
Woke up this morning (da na na na na)
Rolled out of bed (da na na na na)
Last night's whiskey still rattling in my head
Don't want to see no sunlight
But I've got things to do
Gotta get myself together
And log on to Stacker News
Put on a pot coffee (da na na na na)
Open up the blinds (da na na na na)
Turn my head and try to hide my eyes
Don't want to see no sunlight
But I've got things to do
Gotta get myself together
And log on to Stacker News
(Musical Interlude- keys solo)
Open up my laptop(da na na na na)
What do I see (da na na na na)
Ain't nothing but a big blue screen
Don't have no time for this
I've got things to do
Gotta get myself together
And log on to Stacker News
Things are getting frantic (da na na na na)
Trying this and that (da na na na na)
I can't believe I might lose my hat
Don't have no time for this
I've got things to do
Gotta get myself together
And log on to Stacker News
(Musical Interlude- guitar solo)
All hope is lost (da na na na na)
Everything been tried (da na na na na)
Need to dry the tears from my eyes
Don't know why I got outta bed
Ain't got nothing to do
Can't get myself together
I got the Stacker News Blues
Said I can't get myself together
I got the Stacker News Blues
(one more time)
Said I can't get myself together
I got the Stacker News Blues
(da na na na na na na na da da da)
Ooooooooo that's 🔥 could I suggest changing "a big blue screen" to "The big blue screen" in the IT world... The big blue screen means it's knackered. Also referred to as the blue screen of death.
That was the implication. Even luddites like me know of the blue screen of death.
Lennon/McCartney type discussion.
🤣🤣
Maybe like the knock version you buy on Canal street. Just call us Lemon and McDonalds.
When you order Lennon & McCartney on Wish 🤣🤣
Man I could kill a McChicken sandwich right now.
I didn't think it could have passed you by but I thought making it really obvious added more punch to the Judy.
Tragic tale, but a great song.
All good blues songs have a tragedy element to them. My tragedy while terrible was not as bad as yours with a woman stealing your coldcard.
As Albert King would say, If it wasn't for bad luck, I'd have no luck at all.
Yes great line.
Wasn't he the dude with the weird sex chair? Or was that Edward?
Keep eyes open incase someone starts asking for some lyrics written. Wordsmith like yourself might find some employment.
I'm ready to crank out some blues lyrics:
Woke up this morning
That's all I got so far.
and felt so blue.
We can do this 💪
Here's what I got:
Coinkite Blues
Woke up this mornin, she was gone without a trace
I said, woke up this morning, she was gone without a trace
Looked around the room, I could hardly recognize the place
I met her down in Pub Key, drinking whiskey, wine and beer
Said I met her down in Pub Key, drinking whiskey, wine and beer
When the man yelled out last call
She said come on, let’s get outta here.
We went back to my place, everything was oh so fine
I said, we went back to my place, everything was oh so fine
Believe me when I tell you, she damn nearly broke my spine.
I just climbed out of bed, took two aspirin for my head
I said I climbed out of bed, took two aspirin for my head
I went over to my laptop, but there was just an empty space instead.
My mind it started spinning, It sure wasn't worth the fun
My mind it started spinning, no it wasn't worth the fun
My desk drawer was opened, how could she do what she just done?
It needs a chorus:
I got dem coinkite Blues,
From my head right to my shoes.
I got dem coinkite Blues,
From my head right to my shoes
She even got my seeds
And you wonder why I got the blues?
Ok... So oddly enough I've been able to hear this (or at least, hear something) in my head.
Just for fun I might add a really simple blues line to this and see how it sounds. Could be a giggle. But I'm by no means a good guitarist.
Now we need a guy to sing it with a gravelly voice with a nice acoustic blues guitar accompanying him.
I'd actually be better with the gravelly voice than I would with the guitar.
I'm a much better vocalist than guitarist 😂
Excellent! I didn't know you played. I'm thinking in e with a few cliche blues scale licks thrown in.
Havn't picked one up in several years but playing a simple blues riff wouldn't be too difficult. At least one really really simple one to just give the lyrics so kinda base to be expanded on.
Not gunna lie... It is straight rubbish off a dodgy throat (cos Ive had the man flu) recorded on mobile sat in my car 🤣🤣 but I got something... What I can't work out is how to upload an audio file...sooo I'll try and work that out and get back to you with the file.
Excellent!
Not too shabby.
@Public_N_M_E has ideas on improving it and adding music. Maybe we'll see his first SN music video.
I wouldn't even know where to begin with a music video 🤣
We can definitely write the Stacker News Blues. Let's crowdsource this.
Nice! I wish I was a musician.
