Time for Some Rock 'n' Roll

My latest song, based on a true story.

I can't understand a lick of it but I like it

Thanks! Well the story's fairly straight-forward: I traveled south to catch up with some old buddies at summer solstice, and was told to piss off. So went walking about when some nutcase attacked me and kicked me in the eye.

In the local health care center there was no emergency duty and I was feeling really sick, about to faint and was unable to drive, with my eye and face all swollen and turned red. So I took a taxi to the next town, wherein the hospital they told me they're unable to help, as I'm not part of the district - so off we went 250 kilometres to the city of Tampere.

At this point I'm worried I've gotten brain damage and other permanent hassle, and taxi meter's running in the several hundreds (euros). Once we arrive, they tell that the eye doctor's not on duty - come back the next day.

But in the end I get compensation from the government for the trip and I can still afford a bottle of whiskey. So all turned well. :>

I enjoyed it although I understood none of it.

As well, the opening to it reminded me of a sped up version of A Big Hunk O'Love by Elvis.

Glad you enjoyed it! I'm not sure if I know that exact song; was thinking more of Little Richard when cooking it up - a little tribute to the classic stuff.

Wow thats one hell of a story, sounds like something Brian Setzer would sing about.

From what I can recall, Brian Setzer played some pretty cool rockabilly music. Correct?

Hah, yeah. I wasn't laughing at the time, but now I thought it perhaps was worthy of a little song.

Thanks, man. I did intend to make a good song, but it's nice to know it works.
