Credible satire of earnest songs, but then what?

The intro seems familiar to me, but once the song got going, that doesn’t seem relevant.

The earnest vocal delivery for essentially a novelty sing is interesting. You guys are playing the performance completely straight.

I think that choice makes an amount of sense. But I think the intended corniness of the overall track would make this tough to listen to a 3rd time, no matter how hilarious one would find the lyrics.

The faux Jon Bon Jovi background vocals gets it’s point across.

But I’ll say this, you really commit to sending up all of the songs like this, right down to the superfluous key-change/modulation at the end.

I think on this listening I’m smiling, but I don’t think there’s too much of a shelf-life your joke here.

Good luck.

See, I really like the detail and the fact that this person took the time to write a thoughtful review.  I just can’t tell if he’s missed the point about comedy music.

I got it for Christmas, and distinctly remember setting up shop in the basement and finishing it within a week. I know this because I completed the construction just before leaving for a New Year’s party.

Since then, it’s lived in my basement, as you see it above. Over the years, gears have fallen off, the top has tilted more, and the motor no longer spins. But we’ve always kept it intact, and just moved it to wherever the action wasn’t, to keep it out of harm’s way. It’s been ogled, complimented, and abused. But it’s always been there.

Until today. We’re finishing my basement, and there simply isn’t room or need for the Training Tower anymore. It’s kind of sad to dismember its multicolored jointed limbs and throw the pieces into a boxtop. So, farewell, Training Tower. You shall be missed.

This is either very funny or very creepy, I hope for the former. Great contrast between the lyrics and the over-the-top arrangement. [...] And the melody has a good hook, better than many “serious” tracks. Got to love it!

We’re a European sensation, basically.

Good lyrics
A wimsical adult contemporary song with some humour. Has heavy “church” organ. Good music performances and mix. Well written lyrics for this genre but not a career making song.

Incidentally, there’s no “church” organ in the song at all. One wonders where this fellow goes to church…

I’m not even saying you should review us (in fact, you can’t even pick whom you review, which is one of the beauties of the site). I’m just frustrated by the lack of care and intelligence reflected in our recent reviews. We put a lot of thought and effort into the reviews we write on the site, and it’s not fair that we get such useless, counterproductive “criticism” in return. I’m sure we’re not alone in thinking this, so please head over there, show some support, and help independent artists by letting them know how you honestly feel about their music.

Well, we’re back from our trip. And boy was it a splendid one. We’ve taken all sorts of pictures, and have a few great Bassless moments to share with you all. Most of it has been posted up here already, but we’re moving it all to this post in the interest of space. So read on below to see all the pictures and stories from this weekend.

One of Baltimore’s finest citizens, who’s taken a personal interest in horticulture.

Brian’s very safety conscious, especially when traveling.

Amen, sister!

Why does the hippo like Lisa more?

It had it coming.

Brian’s so strong.

Somehow, Brian managed to break his plasticware on a Cinnabon.
