Workin for a Livin (Blues Version)

Post by DannyWeber » Fri Oct 11, 2019 9:41 am

Hey folks.. I waited until the last minute but finally got it done. Or did I?
What do you think.. does it work for the listing below? Is it unique enough? Any mix, master or arrangement problems?

My version..


Huey’s and it’s darn good!..

COVER SONGS ABOUT “WORK” with Male or Female Vocals are needed for an (up to) $2,000 placement by a 5-Star Publisher.

The Client is looking for Cover Versions of Songs that deal with the mundane pressures of a workday, like these references we got directly from them:

“9 to 5” by Dolly Parton

“She Works Hard for The Money” by Donna Summer

"Working for the Weekend" by Loverboy

Please send familiar and recognizable Covers about “Work” that have a unique and original spin to them. Your productions can range from simple, stripped-down versions, to fuller productions with more instrumentation. Whichever genre or sub-genre you’re pitching, be sure they have genre-appropriate instrumentation and productions. Also, please be sure your vocals are well-performed from start to finish.

NOTE: Your Covers can be from any era or genre, as long as they've been commercially released and are about WORKING.

Broadcast Quality is needed.

Lyrics..

SOME DAYS WON'T END EVER
AND SOME DAYS PASS ON BY
I'LL BE WORKING HERE FOREVER
AT LEAST UNTIL I DIE
DAMN IF YOU DO
DAMNED IF YOU DON'T
I'M SUPPOSED TO GET A RAISE NEXT WEEK
AND YOU KNOW DAMN WELL I WON'T

WORKIN FOR A LIVIN
WORKIN
WORKIN FOR A LIVIN
WORKIN
I'M WORKIN FOR A LIVIN
LIVIN AND A WORKIN
I'M TAKING WHAT THEY'RE GIVING
CAUSE I'M WORKIN FOR A LIVIN

HEY I'M NOT COMPLAINING
'CAUSE I REALLY NEED THE WORK
BUT HITTING UP MY BUDDIES
GOT ME FEELING LIKE A JERK
ONE HUNDRED DOLLAR CAR NOTE AND TWO HUNDRED RENT
I GET A CHECK ON FRIDAY
BUT IT'S ALREADY SPENT

WORKIN FOR A LIVIN
WORKIN
I'M WORKIN FOR A LIVIN
WORKIN
YEAH,I'M WORKIN FOR A LIVIN
LIVIN AND A WORKIN
I'M TAKING WHAT THEY'RE GIVING
CAUSE I'M WORKIN FOR A LIVIN

BUSBOY BARTENDER LADIES OF THE NIGHT
GREASE MONKEYS EX JUNKIES WINNERS OF THE FIGHT
WALKING ON THE STREETS IT'S REALLY ALL THE SAME
SELLING SOULS FOR ROCK 'N ROLL AND ANY OTHER GAME

WORKIN FOR A LIVIN
WORKIN
WORKIN FOR A LIVIN
WORKIN
I'M WORKIN FOR A LIVIN
LIVIN AND A WORKIN
I'M TAKING WHAT THEY'RE GIVING
CAUSE I'M WORKIN FOR A LIVIN
I'M WORKIN FOR A LIVIN
LIVIN AND A WORKIN

Go your own way! Out of necessity, drive, gumption, whatever.. don't let anyone tell you you can't!
It's not what goes into your music that's important, it's what comes out the speakers
