Milkbone Blues (original song)

[GrumpyCoyoteTunes]

WTF youtube... No sub notices for Mr. Buss any more?

Im counting on you wearing that suit next time I visit.

[russbuss415]

@GrumpyCoyoteTunes that's not a problem as the suit never comes off.

[UKISOCIETY]

Arf! How'd I miss this? You were right to avoid the 12bar blues for this one. Awesome!

[russbuss415]

@UKISOCIETY mahaloz AC. i wish i could pull off the 12BB, but i guess i'll just stick to bubble gum pop and folk metal.

[MusicMonsterW]

Nice job, Russ! The dog has real 'tude.

[russbuss415]

@MusicMonsterW thanks Ronin. for all that 'tude, we still love him to bits.

[MusicMonsterW]

@russbuss415 Yeah, I can believe that. He looks very loveable in your videos.

[fourteentwelve]

I love it Russell! You know, I can totally imagine Corser with that type of attitude. I particularly loved the "puke it in your shoes" line. Great lyrics, and your costume was awesome!

[russbuss415]

@fourteentwelve thanks Michelle! yup you know Corser has plenty of attitude for such a little dog :)

[nicholasabersold]

Your wife writes the coolest of lyrics, Russell. Awesome chord progression and melody too! Am back from my summer vacation now -- will deliver one week from now, promise!

[russbuss415]

@nicholasabersold hey thanks Nicholas. hope you had a super time on your vacation. i haven't had time to do much lately so i'll need some time to get some work done too.

[uke5417]

The broc 'n' cheese explains so much: the shiny coat, firm gaze and fine sense of irony. Great collab, you two - er three - er four!

[russbuss415]

@uke5417 haha thanks Bruce.  you've met corser so you know what he's all about :)

[Rutle]

Wow a dog who eats his veggies and meat, lovely song love the costume too.

[russbuss415]

@Rutle thanks Cat, our dog loves veggies and fruit. we've convinced he was crossbred with a fruit bat at some point in his lineage.

[benmealer]

What's going on over here, Russ? I was just saying to myself, "It's been a while since I rode the Russ Bus to Jamz-ville." I got over here and this... The song is very nice, but something different with you. Did you shrink or did your ukulele get bigger?

[russbuss415]

@benmealer hey Ben, it's a little of both. but not proportionally so.

[StubyStubyDoo]

Enjoyed that Russ. All this dressing up.....

Nice tune to fun words

[russbuss415]

@StubyStubyDoo thanks Stu. all in a day's work :)

[irvingjohn]

Now I'm gonna puke in your shoes! Classic.

[russbuss415]

@irvingjohn our dog has some serious 'tude!

[molelamole]

yes asong goodd :D

[russbuss415]

@molelamole thank you!

[paxukulele]

(Bow) wow! I like how you're able to imagine the dog's point of view. Very unique song and performance!

[russbuss415]

@paxukulele thanks John! the dog has a way of inspiring many songs :)

[ukeyermind]

Cool song, Russ! My dog, she no like the milkbone, either. We're all just being duped by advanced marketing techniques.

[russbuss415]

@ukeyermind thanks Shawn. great, i'm glad my dog isn't the only one :)

[seeso]

I laughed, I cried, I peed on the floor.

[russbuss415]

@seeso ha thanks seeso! i knew i stepped into something wet over there.

[BaronK69]

You hot dog, you! Great stuff li'l bro - you can chew my milk bone anytime you like. And thanks for including me in your list of blues players too, I'm flattered.

[russbuss415]

@BaronK69 aww thanks big bro. i'll pass on the milkbone offer though. too gritty.

[krabbers]

any video with a coat hanger in it is a winner as far as i concerned.

this reminded my of early nirvana with a bit of neil young

superb

[russbuss415]

@krabbers coat hangers are awesome for scratching things. thanks for the kind comparison Mr. K!

[kennymelodica]

HOTT! love the song too

[russbuss415]

@kennymelodica thanks Kenny!  glad ya liked it.

[Little6ster]

don't breathe air or you will swallow your tongue! hahaha wonderful! love it!!!

[russbuss415]

@Little6ster haha, it happened a few times when i breathed. i'm glad you caught it! merci beaugoo :)

[russbuss415]

@Little6ster aussi, ouaf ouaf!

[Little6ster]

@russbuss415 meow!

[idrnoel]

You look different here. How long will this condition last? The pink shoes is a killer! Great song by the way.

[russbuss415]

@idrnoel thanks Dylan! this is what happens when you get bitten by a werewolf when the moon is only half full :(

[mjs004]

Most worth the wait! Love the song and costume!

[russbuss415]

@mjs004 thanks Mike!  but what costume?

[pfrogner]

Cool song!

[russbuss415]

@pfrogner thanks!

[UkesterBrown]

Hezzie wants some pink high tops after seeing this video... :)

[russbuss415]

@UkesterBrown i think everybody needs a pair of pink chucks. Hezzie could definitely pull it off!

[cinderellalifestyle]

silly companies tell us the stuff they makes for our furry friends "tastes great"...how DO they know? LOL....I had a Peke years ago...he loved carrots and oranges....sound like your pooch is a foodie....:-)

great orig song Russ! Enjoyed!

Laurie:-)

[russbuss415]

@cinderellalifestyle thanks Laurie! oh yeah, carrots and oranges. broccoli and apples too :) well at least it's a healthy quirk for our pups :)

[KenMiddletonUkulele]

Outstanding Russ. I love the way you dress so conservatively.

[russbuss415]

@KenMiddletonUkulele thanks much Ken! you know me, all business..

[DouglasFrink]

Great, witty lyrics, they work quite well with your music.

Dogs probably have a much more refined sense of taste than we humans, since they can smell about 1000 times better, but you'd never know it from the way they wolf things down.

[russbuss415]

@DouglasFrink thanks Doug! that is so true. perhaps they also have superior savoring skills and can taste food 1000 times faster so it's all relative.

[degcon]

What a pampered pooch! (or are those huggies?) Great song, dawg.

[russbuss415]

@degcon thanks Deg! if only we could get our dog to wear a diaper, we would never need to take him out for walks. hmmmm....

[MsKit1]

Oh such a good song. Who plays such a good song? Such a good doggie.

(Love the song! My dogs will take any of the leftover Milkbones)

[russbuss415]

@MsKit1 haha, thanks Karen!  we like to talk to our dog that way too :)

[Gregparkerblues]

Hi Russ. Thanks for listing me in your 'blues bunch'.Think your arrangement of Trina's lyrics,featuring your big six string,with clear blues roots, modified for kids' music market,is the 'way to go'. Well done,my friend.Have to say that we learned "Hang Down Your Head Tom Dooley' at my school,in second grade,& I always remembered it. Warning : "The blues are nothin',but a bone shakin' chill,if you ain't never had 'em,I hope you never will'...Son House.(possibly,not suitable for children)

Cheers

[russbuss415]

@Gregparkerblues thanks Greg! you are the bluesiest (is that a word?) youtuber i know and i'm always envious of your harp skills. this one wasn't going to be included on the childrens album because it doesn't sound very fun. perhaps kids won't like it. but who knows, maybe kids like downer songs as long as they're sung from a dog's perspective. woof!

[deach69]

The other day I was thinking about Corser's initial reaction to GCT. GCT is a giant milkbone.

[russbuss415]

@deach69 lolz, he like it long.

[Sheepstar15]

Ha ha, it was worth the wait, Russ. What a brilliant song! I also love your dedication to dressing up for the video. BRAVO :)

[russbuss415]

@Sheepstar15 thanks Anna, glad you liked it!  you know me, always looking for an excuse to dress up :)

[TheClapVideos]

Great song as ever. Love the outfit. Does your dog dress as a human?

[russbuss415]

@TheClapVideos thanks! my dog thinks he's human but doesn't dress up. so i guess that makes him a nudist!

[boozelele]

Milk bone...he he.

[russbuss415]

@boozelele milkboehner

[huttwigley]

My dog digs Milkbones! Of course, we buy him the generic kind... Awesome song though!

[russbuss415]

@huttwigley thank you huttwigley! our dog doesn't like any of those dry dog treats we get at the pet store. it has to be the chicken or beef jerky. apples and oranges are his favorite though.

[theBradlands]

Much better dog suit than the guy on "Wilfred"

[russbuss415]

@theBradlands thanks Brad! i haven't seen that show yet. looks interesting though.

[floydbluethereal]

Brilliant song!

My cats would love Milkbone.

[russbuss415]

@floydbluethereal thanks Ralf. your cats aren't very picky eaters then :)

[floydbluethereal]

@russbuss415 Oh, they are! They don't like cat food, except the most expensive...

[craigbrandau]

Great Russ.....but too many shots of your milkbone!

[russbuss415]

@craigbrandau haha thanks Craig, woof!
