Demo:
Liner Notes:
No guitar ... just "regular" bass and fuzz bass.
Lyrics:
He's elastic
He's fantastic
He's rubbery
He's bendy
He bounces off the buildings
off the floors
cos he's the
human bouncing ball
He caroms off the walls
he ricochets and he falls
onto a trampoline
where he sleeps and dreams
He's on the rebound
now that he's renounced gravity
with his jumpy DNA
(his jumpy DNA - hey!)
Please keep your comments respectful, honest, and constructive. Please focus on the song and not the demo.

Love the imagery and metaphor. And the bass actually has a really bouncy quality that it's like word painting. I like the melodica at the instrumental break as well. Fun and strange in all the good ways!
interesting deconstruction of surf music. and the asssociations one has with surf music areeme th well suited to the lyric. that human bouncing ball may well be a surfer in an alternate universe
Oh yeah, a bass extravaganza!!
Super great Joy Division vibe here, but as if Ian Curtis had a sense of humour.
Hey, do you remember those old "Plastic Man" comix from the 70's?
This reminds me of that.
I'll say it again; your little background vocal asides always crack me up.
Nice Melodica accents, too.
Good job!
Funny lyric, with the music reminds me of They Might Be Giants. The bottom bass line especially sounds almost "rubbery" so that was a nice addition to my ear.
The basses sing and beat well. The almost-Weimar vocal presentation makes the funny/silly metaphors sound just a little bit sly--one wonders if all is what it seems? (perhaps it's just me)
