The Ghost of Shemp

Skirmish: Ghost Comedian (@frostbeat)Liner Notes
#skirmish #ghostcomedian #shemp #threestooges I actually had this dream once where I was drinking with Shemp and my great Grandpa. That's right, I dream better than you do. This by far isn't my best skirmish. It will be revised later and be a good song. Because I love the idea so much and it's a start.
Lyrics
I was having drinks with Shemp And my great grandpa It was neat having cocktails With the greatest stooge of all
My grandpa pointed at me and said He's a good boy when he's asleep. Shemp said “I reckon he is. Be be be be be Be be be be be”
There's 1000 reasons why I shouldn't drink. But I can't think of one right now Grandpa was preaching a sermon And spit his teeth right out.
Grandpa asked Shemp What his watch said. He said “Tick, tick, tick.”

Never liked the Stooges, but I definitely like this song about one of them. Great skirmish.

@seb Thank you!!! As far as my own songs, I really like this one. And I really did have this dream,

Thanks for your comments on one of my tunes. I like this unhinged creativity on this tune with multiple parts that work. The vocals are effective. good work!
@tfish77 thank you so much for listening. I plan to make real song out of this one.

This is hilarious. Love that metal guitar tone/chord progression which then segues into that smooth bass line. Lots of fun sounds in this one.
@smileymn Thank you! I really did have that dream a few years ago. It was a great dream! These are a mix of my Great Grandpa's isms and Shemp puns. Unfortunately, just googling Shemp quotes doesn't really produce a lot. There were more lines, but I chopped them for now. @moeysullivan I thought I had the solos down better with the drum track. Latency issues sometimes. I will fix it later. Since these are just demos for FAWM. And Thank you!! Any one can download the song if they wish.

OMG I finally appreciate Shemp!!!! You saved a Stooge! The little solos and the Be be be be bebebebebe are keepers.

This awesome, I’m also doing dream projects and this dream is better than mine. Awesome track!

@cjk Shemp was great though. He's the only third Stooge that was his own character and not a Curly copycat. Plus, he had a successful acting career outside of the Stooges. I really did have this actual dream. Never thought about making it a song until this skirmish. Thank you so much for listening!
