SAMURAI SANTA, original, Chuck Picklesimer, 10

[rhopen]

Hi Chuck, this was a great arrangement and performance. I hear a little bit of Ray Stevens in these songs. I mean that as a big compliment because Ray was a genius as I'm sure you know :o) Great. -Ron

@rhopen thanks ron. ray and even roger miller, were the kings of novelty songs. they have been a couple of my own favorites for years, chuck.

One wonders where "camo red" would be worn to camouflage oneself... !

Crazy zany stuff here, Chuck! "shoot a shoe and see a feet"!

Lyrics for the ages! (Some of em young, and some of em old like me, but most all of em fun!)

hi scott. traditionally the camo red is worn at the annual christmas blood bath when elves revolt.....or not. sometimes it's just fun to make no sense at all, just unfold the envelope and start with a clean sheet. thanks for the nice visit, chuck.

I thought the idea of a strip-poker playing Santa in song number 9 was an extraordinary flight of imagination, but it's got nothing on this! Catchy arrangement and lots of amusing word-play on this song - you obviously had a lot of fun recording it.

Every good wish,

Paddy

hi paddy, yes, this entire project was fun and i loved that i wrote ten songs in ten consecutive days and recorded them all in one long day and evening at the studio. next song is the last one. welcome home again, chuck.
