Wow!

That was a lot of fun.

This is one of those tunes that we just want to sit back and listen again rather than trying to parse it all out.
Why? Because it's all good ... every aspect of the production.
Oh, and also because of the great reviews already received we can only be redundant.

We much enjoyed it from the get go to the ambiguous ending.

Y'all and that those BiaB Wrecking Crew session guys make a great team!

J&B

PS Ok, we'll add that there are enough great rhymes in it for multiple songs.

J&B, why, THANK YOU for the kind review. Yes, the lyricist really worked the rhymes on this one. He used a LOT of ABAB and later AABB. He's a "monster" lyricist in my view. Glad ya'll enjoyed the tune!

Well, that was fun story with a great punchline!! I'm sure she had a big bite wink That laboratory "zoo" is vividly painted and the rhyming works frighteningly well.
Excellent band selection, the main guitar sounds great. And the mix is powerful, I feel like turning the knob to eleven, but I don't want to scare my neighbors wink
Enjoyed the chord progression, some Beatles feel. Great vocals and harmonies as usual.
Many nice tricks, but luckily they were real treats smile

Hi Ron
Sorry I'm late to this party.
First thing I noticed was the cool driving guitar and then I was struck by the wonderful melody. Then I drilled down and studied the lyrics. Wow what imagination! Either that or Mssrs Davis is fond of a little devil's lettuce. I'm trying to say that the lyrics are fantastic.

I always stop off at Waikiki when visiting the States so I'm gonna be wary next trip of all those nasty werewolves, zombies, vampires, two-headed dragons, giant grasshoppers, wicked witch, ugly ogre, poker playing dogs, hungry blob, evil angel, King Kong
at war with Godzilla......Yikes!! ...... I hope this is fake news. Should the embassy be informed? grin

I loved this Ron. It was a great way to spend three minutes.

Izzy, THANKS for the nice review! I also love these lyrics, and would agree the lyricist has a wonderfully unsettling imagination. Hope the tune hasn't ruined your image of Waikiki. It really is paradise despite all the frightful fun in these lyrics. Aloha!

Hi, Ron.

What's left to say?

Fun to listen to, well put together. My daughter walked by and said it would work for "Scooby Doo". laugh

   It’s not that King Kong is just a big gorilla
   Or that he’s evenly matched fighting Godzilla


Really well done!

Vocal control, you say. Never heard of it. Is that some kind of ProTools thing?

As others have written, “clever” really is the best way to describe your song.
Amazing lyrics, amazing performance from all involved and presented by a really good production.
