BUMP - update - YIKES!
It's gonna be a down-to-the-wire thing, and it would be a first; gotta booking on Thursday to attempt to put a programmed track behind this Bluegrass band...
seems like a stretch. Even if it seems to be working, we'll only have this one shot at meeting the midnight 12/6 deadline.
YEOW...

Hey Peter

The only suggestion I have is lyrical. If the male vocalist is the lead singer, I'd switch it around so that he's the swizzle stick (for the double meaning):

Stirred and shaken lets cut to the quick
If you're my martini I'm your "Swizzle Stick"
Yes If you're my martini
I'm your "Swizzle Stick"

And in the bridge:

Let me be the one to swizzle your drink
My mind goes numb and it's hard to think (you'd need to change this line)
Whether straight-up or on the rocks
One swizzle with you... and there go my socks!!

Best of luck with it, whatever you decide.
Best regards,

Michael (Amoriello) Michnya

Like Robbie Robertson sang, "take what you need and leave the rest."

I was intentionally stirring away from it being that.
Thanks for the ears, just the same.

Fun song with amazing banjo, Peter! Wasn't this reviewed on Taxi TV a while ago? I think I remember it from there.
Hope you can make it - good luck!

Your memory serves you well - yes, this song was reviewed by Robin Frederick during a pre-YouTube episode of TAXI TV.
While it didn't pass the mustard for film & TV - both she and Michael were laughing... so, I was satisfied that the song hit its intended target: the funny bone!
Thanks for noticing.

Any point in continuing with this?

Cool - thanks for that.
UNFORTUNATELY - though the ref track leaned to the Bluegrass side of Country, the song got returned for not being Country enough; therefore, off target.
Oh well.
