Description
Well, here's remix #3. This time with banjo and dobro. I guess most everything else is the same as the second remix, except I took out the electric guitar, put the bass back in the middle and fixed some acoustic guitar parts. I don't know what possessed me to replace the electric guitar with dobro, but the banjo made it seem like it should have a bit more of a down-home sound. I've been listening to a Brazilian lap steel guitar player, Christiaan Oyens, lately, and got inspired to break out the bar and slide around a bit. It might be a little too slippering in terms of pitch, but maybe I'm going for more of a microtonal feel. lol
If you don't make it back to the original description a couple postings back, here goes:
"An older song, lyrics written ages ago by my son Gray Bouchard. I'd posted this before, but removed it a while back. The old version popped up on my iPod last week and was so badly mixed that it inspired me to rework it and this is a pretty well re-tooled version, with a more open sound. I had a couple other guitar tracks, and a different drum arrangement. I re-recorded the bass part and lead vocal and added the strings and a few more ambient samples from zoos and such. And an especially crackly Automat part. It's probably just at crowded as the last version, but in a different way. This isn't perfect, but I need to move onto something else and would welcome some input about where it's at right now."
I am working on other songs, I swear, but I'm really trying to put together a coherent solo CD right now and this is one of the songs that I really want to put on it. I may never get there at this rate.

Lyrics
Good morning world…Welcome to the parade!
I think you’d all agree it’s been a crazy day
I won’t deny we’re all a little shakey
When it comes down to dealing with the big boom
So I hold onto my hope and my humor
and now I’m goin’ to the zoo
Good morning world…Welcome to the parade!
There’s a pretty girl, shining like the sun today.
It’s all bravura nothing more than a charade
But that’s nothing to go into lightly
So it’s never what it seems to be up front
Don’t you worry, I’m goin’ to the zoo
Life’s constant tick tock just doesn’t stop
And I find myself in the big top… Center Ring
The monkey appears in a cameo…tapping the elixir of life
It’s a crying shame babe, but everybody’s got something to hide
Me, I’m watching for my right hand man…Heard he’s coming soon…
Got a bubble made of platinum…Custom fitted for you
It’s slight different this time around
Still I’m going to the zoo
Life’s constant tick tock just doesn’t stop
And I find myself in the big top…Center Ring
I think you’d all agree it’s been a crazy day
I won’t deny we’re all a little shakey
When it comes down to dealing with the big boom
So I hold onto my hope and my humor
and now I’m goin’ to the zoo
Good morning world…Welcome to the parade!
There’s a pretty girl, shining like the sun today.
It’s all bravura nothing more than a charade
But that’s nothing to go into lightly
So it’s never what it seems to be up front
Don’t you worry, I’m goin’ to the zoo
Life’s constant tick tock just doesn’t stop
And I find myself in the big top… Center Ring
The monkey appears in a cameo…tapping the elixir of life
It’s a crying shame babe, but everybody’s got something to hide
Me, I’m watching for my right hand man…Heard he’s coming soon…
Got a bubble made of platinum…Custom fitted for you
It’s slight different this time around
Still I’m going to the zoo
Life’s constant tick tock just doesn’t stop
And I find myself in the big top…Center Ring
