Black Eyed Peas


Tim says that the Black eyed peas write music for dumb people. I am not sure what to think of that statement as I often find myself tapping my toes to the song. Though really, sometimes the lyrics are ridiculous. And watching Fergie dance around half naked and that weird Indian guy do strange karate moves is not exactly appealing to me. Even so, I actually had the brilliant idea tonight of re-creating a black eyed peas song that seems to get stuck in my head quite often.

Tonight, Tim and I sat with the guitar and wrote an acoustic song to "I've got a feeling". It was reminiscent of a Damien Rice song. Written in a 6/8 time signature (coincidentally Tim's favorite time signature)I was actually pretty happy with the end result. Though I did still have to use the phrase "Tip up my cup, Mozaltov" because it was too strange not to include. One day I will record this masterpiece and let the world hear, but for now I am content just to blog about it.

We would like to call it "What I've got a feeling SHOULD have been".
