Hannah Werdmuller - Fat Pigeon

Posted: Sun, 07/11/2010 - 10:19

Liner Notes: 

Um, yeah. There was a fat pigeon stomping around on my conservatory roof, so I wrote it a song. And then I felt silly enough to record it and put it on the internet.

Lyrics: 

Fat pigeon on my roof
Each little foot like a little hoof
Fat pigeon

Fat pigeon walking up and down
While the leaves fall all around
Fat pigeon
On a mission

Ooh-hoo-hoo hoooooo.



Comments: Please keep your comments respectful, honest, and constructive. Please focus on the song and not the demo.

i dig the undertone of oncoming disaster in the guitar sound-- i have had a bad pigeon episode myself, once; and this brought it back----

but seriously, good song, simple and compellingly done.

The guitar evokes images of the fat pigeon walking about on its mission. Kind of hypnotic.

cool
great voice + diction- very clear
could see this as the theme tune for a fat detective pigeon cartoon series.. sort of creepy/mysterious feel to this

This is really cool! I like the little bit of dissonance in the riff and the serious treatment of the lighthearted subject.

I like where you said "this is a song" and then there was a massive pause and I was thinking "good to know, that's what I came for". That guitar is COOL and I like your voice and hopefully the pigeon will get down the gym after hearing this. I assume you played it to him, or would you think it insensitive? Gotta be careful I guess. This is beautiful and haunting rather than angry so I guess you're not into confronting the pigeon right away but keep an eye on him, you may have to say something for his own health. Mind you, I can hardly talk. I'm going to stop this comment because I'm hungry now. Cool song though, enjoyed it.

I liked your accent in the intro -- so I had to listen! For some reason it reminds of the "counter" song to "Feed the Birds" in Mary Poppins (ha, ha). Nice singing and the guitar complements it nicely.
