The Hound Dog Song
Todd Swain - 2009

Got me this old blue hound dog
Reminds me of my cousin
Likes to lie around all day long
That dog aint really good for nothing

The only time all day I see
That old hound move at all
Is when the old rusty dinner bell rings
And the pork fat starts to boil

Back in the day
I even used to envy him
Cause he would run his game so strong
Get up and hunt
In the woods all day
And chase the females all night long
He's just a hound dog

He's not much of a guard dog
In fact I doubt he'd even bark at all
He dosen't fetch or do any tricks
Doesn't come most times you call

And I know my baby loves me
Cause she'd rather not have him around
But she's never said a word about it
Cause she'd never want to bring me down

Back in the day
I even used to envy him
Cause he would run his game so strong
Get up and hunt
In the woods all day
And chase the females all night long
He's just a hound dog
He's just a hound dog

This really turned out fantastic Bill. What a great idea. I can actually visualize us all up there. No slackers in the r4m band,.. that's for sure!!

Guys.... This turned out friggin awesome.

Personally I think this is one of the best songs to come out of this place. It's pretty tops. You really managed to capture that live feel. A great idea. Fantastic melody. Gets ya hopping. Next time I have a party at my house I'll have to play this. I'd bet everyone would get up dancing. PRO stuff. Nice one Bill.

Todd rocks !!!

Guys,

Super....it must have been tough to create a "live" sounding the arrangement,,but you have pulled it off.

Dig the "Lynryd Syknyrd" like groove - shades of "Swamp Music" perhaps. Nice vocals and chock full of tasty guitar and keyboard playing.

Cheers
Andy

Thanks for "saving my drumming butt" with this one. I still will always have this in my collected works folder of projects I'm most proud of. Really happy to have been part of this with some truly excellent players.

MerlinFL = OcalaMusician = Neal, for anyone who might not already know.

Take care,
Neal

Thanks everyone!
Sure was a fun project. I think Jay and doc are in Nashville looking for the band bus!

McLovin · **Reply #12 on:** October 05, 2009, 04:30:43 PM

Thanks a lot Bill!! Henry and I wake up to find the band has left without us. I have a feeling you'll be back. Henry hocked your guitar for a case of beer!! SUCKER!!

Lucky I was wearing a fresh pair of maple leaf last night!

Old maple leaf is flying from the antenna of the bus.
Now we are flying the Canadian flag!!

It was Todd's idea!!!

doc's just mad cuz I cranked my amp up and stuck his stethoscope in front of the speaker.
He said he wanted in ear monitors!
