Liner Notes

#dogs #altcountry #americana

I did a quick acoustic one take but flubbed it so at the end I redid the bridge and then while I had it in the daw fixing the screw up I added some back ground vocals and then I added a little guitalele solo (with delay to make it sound more mando-ish.) And all said and done I could have this recorded for real instead of this off key kilter for the time spent. But I like it.

Lyrics

I tripped over the dog
Trying to get out of bed
I think they nearly broke my neck
You'd think they were mistreated
You'd think them never fed
I'm surprised that I'm not dead yet

Those damn dogs
They keep getting in the way
Those damn dogs
I can't get them to behave
Still, I love those damn dogs

It was time to feed them
Early just last night
When they started racing all around
I tried to get them settled
'fore they could start a fight
But somehow I ended up on the ground

Those damn dogs
They keep getting in the way
Those damn dogs
I can't get them to behave
Still, I love those damn dogs

You'd think that I would hate them
AS much trouble as they cause
The stolen food and ripped up shoes
The damage from their claws
But truth be told I love them all
In spite of their flaws
But now I gotta hear it from all of my in laws

Those damn dogs
They keep getting in the way
Those damn dogs
I can't get them to behave
Still, I love those damn dogs

Those damn dogs
They keep getting in the way
Those damn dogs
I can't get them to behave
Still, I love those damn dogs

Gotta love 'em. Our dog started barking two nights ago and would. not. chill. out. But, like you said, "truth be told I love them all / In spite of their flaws" I like the call and response on the choruses at the end.

This brought a smile on my face. Nicely sung about mans best friend and the very best chaos maker. Happy vibes!

Thank you for making me smile… even though I don’t have any dogs of my own I am loving yours!

Fun! Love the guitar echo of the "those damn dogs"

I feel your pain man... Very catchy and oh so relevant. Nice work!

You're making me wonder if you were watching me rage when my take was interrupted a third time to let "her Majesty" in.

Love the song like I love my dogs!

‘Those damn dogs’ quickly becomes a catchy refrain to holler along with you. Chord progression and the catchy hammer-on had me from the outset. The uke solo was a hoot - I have a couple of guitaleles but haven’t quite worked them into a song. Mando sim for the win!

Super catchy hook! Love the ending. Seems like an instant crowd-pleaser!
