The Syncopated Rhythm with the Rat-Tat-Tat-Tat-Tat-Tat on the Drums!
The Music Editor (ME) had high hopes that Songtapper, a site that lets you tap out a "tune" on your spacebar and determines what song it is from the rhythm, would turn some beats around! But either 1) their music editors are unqualified hacks who don't know the work of the Smiling Rock Monz Jazz Trio (or Monz' solo efforts) or 2) lots of folks have been plagarizing the Monz, as these songs all post-date Monz' originals. For example, when we tapped out the classic "Call Me Love" we got back Promiscuous by Nelly Futardo (ft. Timberland) and "Peacock Skeleton With Crooked Feathers" by the Blood Brothers. When we rocked the keyboard to "Redeem Me" we were rewarded with "La Reine " by Les Cowboys Fringants and "Where Are the Flowers" by Scorefor. Only when we banged our heads with "Heads Will Roll" did we get a semblence of plausibility ("Rock Is My Life " by Bachman Turner Overdrive and "When "You're" Around" by Motion City Soundtrack). If this was a wrestling match, songtapper would have tapped out!
Three chicken tamales from Whole Foods, a banana and a couple of jello thingies -- all cuisine we suspect will not be on the menus where he's going.
