IFMS - "I Got G.A.S."

[Moondog Wily]

The following is my first post in the IFMS threads. These threads are intended to write the lyrics to songs using the collective monkey brains here on the forum. You can read more about this at https://forums.prsguitars.com/threads/in-finite-monkey-songs-aka-ifms.48525/ . If you choose to participate, please click the "Yes . . ." option in the pole so that we can be assured you are willing to play along with the outlined setup.

This "song" would be titled "I Got G.A.S.". It is about the guitar (gear) acquisition syndrome that many of us suffer from. I envision the title to be used as the main part of the chorus, but if that does not work out, so be it. You are allowed to post ONE line, and then you must wait for another participant to post another line. See rules linked above for details on how this is supposed to work, and feel free to write back here or via PM if there is confusion.

So here is the start of this song (with title followed by my first line). If you would like to participate, copy the current song content (after having responded to the poll with a Yes answer), and paste into a new post. Add your line and submit! Hope we have some participants and have fun with this experiment.

I Got G.A.S. (song title)

Been feeling kind of empty

And despite my bank account's the same,

I Got G.A.S. (song title)

Been feeling kind of empty
And despite my bank account's the same

I Got G.A.S. (song title)

Been feeling kind of empty
And despite my bank account's the same

I head down to the guitar store

I Got G.A.S. (song title)

Been feeling kind of empty
And despite my bank account's the same
I head down to the guitar store
To pick me up somethin' with a maple flame

 

[Black Plaid]

Now it ain't what you'd call normal

Please try to copy the previous bits of the song and then paste that into your new post with your new line at the end. If you would like, you can bold faced or change color on your new line to make it stand out. This way, people don't need to scroll back through all the other threads when they want to see where the song is at in it's progress.

I Got G.A.S. (song title)

Been feeling kind of empty
And despite my bank account's the same
I head down to the guitar store
To pick me up somethin' with a maple flame

Now it ain't what you'd call normal
And I swear it's heaven sent

To pick me up somethin' with a maple flame

Now it ain't what you'd call normal
And I swear it's heaven sent"

But now I gotta explain to my woman
Where all our money went
