My Most Favorite Return Comment

Post by ottlukk » Mon Nov 29, 2010 9:29 pm

I just got another return for my tune, "In The Back of A Rolls Royce". The screener thought the line "because our bottoms are so nice" was a bit salacious, though he or she was probably correct about it being wrong for the listing. What really struck me, though, was in the "bio" box: "no bio/photo needed for this song listing, Ott, but we're curious .. so you're the man who wrote
" I want my virginity back ".. classic.. what a concept!"
So, I get a comment from this screener, #27, noting a different song (which I've posted on peer to peer), and (be still, my beating heart) he compliments me on a different song!!! He used the word "classic", which can't help but feed one's ego. I'll sleep well tonight on that word "classic".
Yet here's the rub: I think this is the best tune I've posted on my website, http://www.myspace.com/suspendedspidersongs It's track #2, for those who weren't around the first time I posted it on peer to peer. It's been returned 20 times to date -- and yet there is at least one screener who remembered it, and gave me a nice compliment on it.
Made my day.

Sometimes, the nicest compliments come in unexpected ways. And I can see why it's a classic. Great song, Ott!

Richard: Thank you for listening! I'm off to bed, "classic" still ringing in my ears.

You're a classic songwriter, Ott. Gotta exploit that :D

Ott

The older we get, the more compliments mean to us.

My grandaughter just last week told me "grampi you have nice hair on the sides"

Love it love it love it

Hang in there Ott, your stuff is good.

Magne! Thank You!
Paul! I appreciate your comments!
Nick! It's a personal record for me! And I have six submissions I'm waiting on! I should have also mentioned that "I Want My Virginity Back!" won a finalist/honors award in the 2009 Great American Song Contest, pop category. So, I'm 1 out of 21, in a certain sense.

Dave: Thank you! Now I've got "awesome' to go with "classic"! Took the time to listen to your first eight tracks. All excellent, liked #6) Messin' With The Glitch and #8) Claustrophobic, the most. Thanks for taking a listen!

Thanks Ott! You've reminded me that I need to go update some tunes on my reverb page as well.
