Liner Notes

This one is a fun piece for the "Make it your own!" skirmish

I have kept much of the original rhyme scheme and the basic structure. I reckon many of you will be able to guess the source for this. The original is almost a dirge, I gave it a more upbeat folky feel

INSTRUMENT 3/4 Spanish Guitar by Hora (of Romania)

Lyrics

It's not true!
You're making me mad!
It's not true!
You're just making me sad!
You're making me mad!
You're making me mad!

It's not true!
I think you've been had
It's not true!
Your informant's bad
So says my i-Pad
So says my i-pad

It's not true!
Your information's not rad
It's not true!
Your sum's do not add
You're inventing, you cad!
You're inventing, you cad!

You're such a Jessie!
Such a Jessie!
It's got all messy
That's as true as Nessie
You're such a Jessie!

REPEAT VERSE ONE

I have to love a character seeking truth but arguing from pop culture. The references are apt and entertaining. The song as a whole is compact and holds its focus.

catchy classic progression and rhythm. a really cool skirmish

An old-timey feel with that guitar sound, nice skirmish work!

It has a touch of 'putting on the ritz' or anything goes, so I imagine that wasn't your source song :) Great movement and I like how you leave the lyrics open and interpretable - great groove.
