Dave Kershaw & Casey: Song parody... "Forward Ratio" :)
One thing you learn at the rally is how to improve your forward ratio. Bumping a REALLY old one up here... "Forward Ratio" to the tune of Dr. Hook's "Cover of the Rolling Stone"... Lyrics by yours truly, performed great by Dave Kershaw.

Forward Ratio
(Hey Ray, hey Sugar, tell them who you are)
Well, I’m a big songwriter, got songs that excite ya
My friends think that I’m a real pro (that sounds like you!)
I sing about love and I sing about life
Leave demos everywhere I go (right)
I join all types of websites where my lyrics incite
But the thrill I’ve never known
It’s when Taxi stops returning so I get some earnings
From my forward ratio
(Rae-shee-oo) Wanna get myself a lot of forwards
(oo) Maybe even get a sign-on bonus (yeah)
(oo) Wanna get me the very best
For my forward Rae-shee-oo (that's a very, very, good idea)
I got the best guitar licks and I make a good mix
With thirty-two channels of song
I got verses and bridges and the killer hooks
That make you want to sing along
The music is crafted, never been laughed at
But I can’t get the one thing I need
You know I can’t please my honey
If I don’t make some money
From my forward ratio
(Rae-shee-oo) Wanna get myself a lot of forwards
(oo) Maybe even get a sign-on bonus (yeah)
(oo) Wanna get me the very best
For my forward Rae-shee-oo (Yea... c'mon on screeners)
(Hey, I know how, rock and roll!! .... instrumental)
(Ah, that's beautiful)
I get all sorts of e-mails from so many females
Who would sing anything I write
I got a genuine music attorney
Whose bills are getting out of site
I got friends on the forum and I never bore ‘em
Even sent a song to Sheryl Crow
And I’m better than No Doubt but I can't get any pay out
From my forward ratio
(Rae-shee-oo) Wanna get myself a lot of forwards
(oo) Maybe even get a sign-on bonus (yeah)
(oo) Wanna get me the very best
For my forward Rae-shee-oo
For my forward Rae-shee-oo
(Man, I don't know why they don’t forward my songs, Baby)
(I write beautiful songs)
(I ain't kiddin', I would get a label deal)
(My CD, right up front, man)
(I can hear it now, I'll be fillin’ the airwaves)
(Music, man ...... ahh, beautiful!)

Re: Dave Kershaw & Casey: Song parody... "Forward Ratio" :)
Hahaha I love it, just love it!
This is just the shot of music therapy that I needed tonight. If it's old, it still seems current to me
Referring back to the Road Rally, I think Arnold Bloch might be able to use this in his practice
Thanks guys! I hope you had as much fun making it as I've had listening to it.
Cheers, Jim

Thanks JD!
We did this around 10-12 (or more) years ago and I remembered it and re-posted. Dave hasn't been on here for a long time. It still cracks me up and hasn't aged.
I think at the next in-person rally, they should play this at the opening. But I'm a teeny bit biased there!
