Kim,
Aloha to you too!
I heard it again yesterday afternoon, and this time I could crank
up the loud machine and pay attention to the lyrics.
Nope, no such thing as any kind of love song going on here. I
can get about a quarter of the spoken words, and the rest is just
so much mumbling, farting, sneezing and other sound effects. <g>
The only thing I get clearly are the words "turn up the stereo,
blast it out loud...", that's a refrain so it's easy to catch.
There is definitely a re-ordering of the progression, and that's
OK. Sometimes the vocals come out over the top of the guitar,
and sometimes they are almost buried. Production values in this
sense are mixed, to say the least. But overall, it's clean (no
dropouts, noise, etc.), and it's unmistakably different from the
rest of the stuff being played on this station.
Philosophical question for you: what's the difference between a
Genuine Fake and a Real Fake? Inquiring minds want to know. <g>
