It Is What It Is...(Uncle John's "I Don't Like That" revised)

Uncle John's song "I Don't Like That" rewritten and revised, a completely different, though rather sinister, storyline and arrangement though the core riff still features strongly. PLAY LOUD! (-;

Unfortunately the sound quality has suffered due to heavy compression, blue meanies and digital nasties! ...listen to MP3 on CBN "Music" panel (-:

Guitars - EKO refitted with Flatpup 4, GDg, Comedy and Tragedy (backing) GDGb.
Amp - Orange Dual Terror / Marshall 12" Cabinet.
Boss SE-70 Effects Unit/Audacity/Shure SM58.

WOMAN, SAY WOMAN
WHY YOU TREAT ME LIKE YOU DO?
WOMAN, SAY WOMAN
WHY YOU TREAT ME LIKE YOU DO?

CHORUS x2 - SHE SAY IT IS WHAT IT IS...THERE AIN'T NOTHIN' YOU CAN DO!

WOMAN, SAY WOMAN
WHY YOU LYIN' LIKE YOU DO?
WOMAN, SAY WOMAN
WHY YOU CHEAT ME LIKE YOU DO?

CHORUS

WOMAN, SAY WOMAN
WHY YOU STEALIN' LIKE YOU DO?
WOMAN, SAY WOMAN
WHY YOU ROB ME LIKE YOU DO?

CHORUS

WOMAN, SAY WOMAN
WHY YOU MESSIN' LIKE YOU DO?
WOMAN, SAY WOMAN
MESSIN' ROUND WITH SOMEONE NEW?

CHORUS

WOMAN, SAY WOMAN
WHY YOU HURT ME LIKE YOU DO?
WOMAN, SAY WOMAN
WHY YOU HURT ME LIKE YOU DO?

CHORUS / SOLO

WOMAN, SAY WOMAN
WHY YOU LAY THERE LIKE YOU DO?
WOMAN, SAY WOMAN
SO PALE AND STILL, IT'S NOT LIKE YOU....

I SAY, IT IS WHAT IT IS,,,NOW THERE'S NOTHIN' YOU CAN DO...!
I SAY, IT IS WHAT IT IS,,,NOW THERE'S NOTHIN' YOU CAN DO...!

I SAY, IT IS WHAT IT IS,,,NOW THERE'S NOTHIN' YOU CAN DO...

Comment by Roadkill a.k.a. John Maw on May 3, 2012 at 10:00pm: That has a really nice sound to it. Sort of distant and cavernous. Good song and a fine collaboration too.

Comment by Slowpaw Steve T on May 1, 2012 at 5:02am: All comments much appreciated! ...will be "traveling" a more traditional path on the next few songs - keep posted! (-:

The dancers are doing a "Jitterbug" instruction demo (forerunner to the Jive) from 1944 - my Mum was a Jitterbug dancing Champ in 1944, she danced with the American GI's based in her town in WW2...i'll have to get her to show me a few moves, tho' she's aged 88 now and not quite as lively now...! (-;
