WannaBe (not a spice girl cover)

Hi, my name is davetaylorbassplayer and this is my first video on youtube.

This tune started when my friend Bob Leier came up with the phrase, be the wanna be you wanna be. Then I wrote some music and Bob wrote more words. The tune was all done on Garageband, me singing and playing guitar, bass, some keyboards and a lot of midi programming. Jeff Sugarman played the rhodes track and Kirsten Nash played the sax.

My very talented wife Miesje made the video. She made the puppet painted the backdrop and filmed herself puppeteering in front of her computer.

Sometimes you're up, sometimes you're down
Sometimes you're lost and sometimes you're found
Sometimes you're heavy, sometimes you're light
Sometimes you're wrong, sometimes you're right
Sometimes you're in and and sometimes you're out
Sometimes you're sure and sometimes you doubt
Your brain is screaming' "which way should I go"
I can tell you something' you otta know
Be the wanna be YOU wanna be
Just be the wanna be you wanna be

Ballroom dancer, a street smart prancer
Or maybe even a Cyrano romancer
An uptown guy or a Charlie Brown type
A wound up jerk too full of hype
Some big eyed cat or a mad hatter
Which one are you? It don't really matter
You see we're all just trying' to be
That special someone I think you'll agree
Possibilities are floatin' round my brain
Somebody save me, I think I'll go insane

Your brain is screaming' "which way should I go"
I can tell you something' you otta know
Be the wanna be YOU wanna be
Just be the wanna be you wanna be

Sometimes you're hot, sometimes you're not
You're so cool or so you thought
Outside yourself won't get you too far
Just try to be who you really are

Your brain is screaming' "which way should I go"
I can tell you something' you otta know
Be the wanna be YOU wanna be
Just be the wanna be you wanna be

A cracker jacker, computer hacker
Banker baker soldier sailor, rat packer
A wood chipper a high steel rigger
A sky pilot or a clam digger
A smooth talkin' politician
Or god forbid even a musician
Outside yourself won't get you too far
Just try to be who you really are
Possibilities are floatin' round my brain
Somebody save me, I think I'll go insane

Your brain is screaming' "which way should I go"
I can tell you something' you otta know
Be the wanna be YOU wanna be
Just be the wanna be you wanna be
