Why I Am So Fat - Meestege

6th Jun 2008 04:44 - 18 years ago
Description : This song is a liitle bit of blues, Vaudeville with some jazz chords. It's a serious joke. My cousin and me gettin fatter and fatter. Living in a rich country with plenty of food becomes a problem of luxery while other people die of hunger.
Recorded as simple as possible. A shuffle drumloop, one aucoustic and bass guitar, some fat thighs and a harp.
My cousin is singing.

A great song which is funny but also a bit sad. It's too easy to "chunk out" - message recieved..

I love this song.... It's witty and honest, this is also reflected in the stripped back instruments (what more was needed? nothing! It's perfect). Great lyrics and playing all round...

Cheers Slap...

Thank you Slap
What started as a joke seems to be our biggest hit on Looperman. This was just done in one evening. With other songs we spent a lot of time on the sound and the mix. Sometimes the best way is to keep it easy.

I love it. I've done a couple of funny ones myself. 1 about food too. And I love the blues. Great harp and slap too. When I look down I don't see my. Awsome a really fun song.

Thanks Blair,
It started as a joke but now it is the best reviewed track we have uploaded. I've met musicians who say blues is too easy for me. I don't agree, it's hard to compose a song with fresh idea's and it's a great feeling if it works.

Hi Meestege,
Well, I liked the song here too. It kinda fits me as I am too fat myself. As you get older, it seems to come on easier and hard to get rid of. I liked the Harmonica part in the song in particular. I can't seem to find any loop disk with Harmonica on them.
I suppose a person could make some money selling one if they made one up and offered it from one of the bigger companies. You'd need about 600-800+ different short .wav files with different parts of riffs, fast and slow endings, and in different keys and tempo's...etc. Takes a lot of time and work!
Anyways, the above is off the subject...but just a thought since I don't hear the instrument anywhere else. Good job on the song.

Thanks Randall,
To us it's so normal my cousin plays that bluesharp. I realize that you want this on your recordings too. I never looked for that kind of loops. But if you have a recorded song that's in the standard tuning (A=440) then my cousin will play it for you, I'm sure.

Funny enough we've wrote the lyrics in a split second. Getting fat is really a problem. When we have a funeral we say the family is getting smaller but every time we need more space to watch, ha, ha, ha.

perfect playing, a lot of blues feeling in it, and that means that you have a lot of experience cause it's not easy to get it ...

From the age of twelth we are real bluesmen. In the sixties black blues came to Europe and we never lost it. Last year we left "The Ramshackle Bluesband". We played for 8 years with this band so you can say we have experience. Although to play blues is one thing, to compose with a orignal touch is difficult. We like other music too but every time blues is coming back.

Description : A hard hip hop track with some heavy metal influences. Hope you enjoy it! A neon cyberpunk hip hop track, it imagines a man when he conquers the world and the challenges he has to face through.

Description : It was one of those lazy Saturdays and I was like "Lemme open FL Studio and see wassup", and this is what I came up with. It was an experimental track with MychMych's acapella, but I ended up enjoying the vibe.
I hope y'all can vibe with it!

Description : One of my favorites...
I found that sample; I don't remember if it was the Mandrils or not, but after chopping, splicing and dicing, the painting sounded amazing! I had to put pencil to paper (it was 2010). Before I knew it, maybe 20 mins went by and I was done.

I created, wrote, recorded, arranged, mixed and put a small master on it in about an hour. I added a good music friend Jus J. to the end about a week later.

You won't be disappointed.
