18 I know what he wants ... a Blonde...

Blonde Attitude by Dave Schipper © 2005 RoseRiver Songs


Call it a week, call it a day
Call it what you like I just want to get paid (or laid)
Tired of my job, Tired of my boss
Tired of dreamin of the hair that you toss.

Chorus
I need some music with a blonde attitude
I love to hear those words that you use
I keep a wishin for some time with you
I need some music with a blonde attitude.

Toss me a brew, toss me a life
Toss out the bill from my exwife.
Grab hold my hand, grab on your heart
Grab on tight you know just where to start

Smile and laugh, smile and relax
Smile to the gents looking from the back
Move to the left, move to the right
Move anyway, just hold me tight.


Note... Yes it is another live one with Tim and Paula, but we add the Blondettes of Sue and Lynn and we get just a spontaneous fun song. It can be cleaned up with substituting PAID instead of LAID... sorry I didn't mark the song Explicit... I hope I don't get caught.

I also had fun rearranging the words and pitching it to a woman to sing... no luck yet...

Call it a week, call it a day
Call it what you like I just want to get paid (or laid)
Tired of my job, Tired of my boss
Time to primp and sharpen the claws.


Chorus
I’m just music with a blonde attitude
You’ll love to hear those words that I use
You keep wishin for some time with me
This blonde attitude’s in perfect key


Here’s your brew, and here’ your life
God just forget that bitch, our exwife.
Grab hold my hand, grab on your heart
Grab on tight you know just where to start


Smile and laugh, smile and relax
Smile to the girls looking from the back
Move to the left, move to the right
Move anyway, just hold me tight.

And now the video... HA.

The CD is live!

On January 9, 2009 with very little fanfare, the culmination of 3 years of writing, taping, editing, and even just networking came to a realization of a digital release of Gypsy Soul by Dave Zeman. What could have never happened 20 years ago is now over 60 minutes of unique music. A little help from friends brings the quality up a notch, and a little space from family allowed me to invest way more time to what many might consider a hobby. Oh but it’s more than a hobby. I have been passionate about music for all of my 50 years of existence. My eclectic tastes show up in this cd. A couple of favorite traditional songs, Family Tree which is a throw back folk melody, Unsaid which taps into my electric youth, Drift Away could easily find itself on an America cd, and story songs are abound everywhere. If you can’t tell a story in 4 minutes, is it really a song? Mr. Tangerine really is one of my cats, though all the verses have accumulated over time.

Tim Kolek, Paula Przywojski, and Shelly Pederson of Rose River show up on the live tracks 16-18, Nichola O’Donnell is lead on Flowers of the Forest, and Kim Davidson sings the melody she wrote to my words on Opposite Destiny. The Blondettes are Lynn Konsella and Sue Hayman on track 18. It truly was hard to follow that song, but I thought Abilene was a nice send off.

Are 19 songs too many? Well over 10 more were weeded out, so I have a great start on the next CD. All the lyrics and stories behind the songs are posted below. Yes I'm finding the unique way to release a cd that would never happen, but it's exactly what a songwriter wants, an opportunity to share at a very reasonable price to me and to you.

18 songs for $9.99? You can't go wrong... sign on to iTunes and search Zeman, and start feasting.
