RED CRUSH

[threeNout]

EDIT: I had a poorly mixed version of the song uploaded initially, it is now fixed.


Hey Hogville, I've written a hard rocking Razorback anthem for the Bielema era called "Red Crush", something you can pump your fists to.

It's the first song on my music page:

I really wanted coach B to be the first to hear it, but I couldn't figure out how to contact him other than twitter, so if any of you Hogville big shots could pull some strings and makes sure he gets this, that'd be awesome! 

Go Hogs!

[OptimusHog]

The beat was good but those lyrics and the pronunciation of "pig soo-eh" were.... 

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Shouldn't it be Pantone 201 Crush?

[MS_HogFan]

No offense, but that is the worst song I've heard in a long time.

[60 Minutes of Hell]

Shirley, this is a joke.

[Hawgey-Davidson]

Do a reggae type song. CBB will like it better. Sorry three, just couldnt dig it.

[PorkRinds]

I'm gonna take the advice of thumper's momma.

Giving you a +1 for effort alone.  Had a nice rhythm to it but those lyrics can use some work man.

False advertising.

Are you the male Liz Honey?

[TomasPistola]

Re eh eh eh.... ed?

....

ok.

[GingerHog]

 .......I can appreciate the effort you put into the song and that it is for the Hogs' upcoming season. I commend you for that. But, with all due respect, that song.....is just bad. The array of different sounds in the song seemed forced and the lyrics just do not mesh and don't sound very good at all.

That being said, if CBB ends up hearing it, I think he will appreciate the effort as well, just not the sound.

WPS!!!  :razorback:

[AFWarrior83]

Needs more cowbell!!

Seriously though...A for the effort, but F for the song. Poor audio sound, and the lyrics were meh. Sorry for being blunt, but it's better than I could have done, so you got that going for you.

[Hogsmo Kramer]

Ummmm.....

[threeNout]

Well, as a song writer, I obviously failed to connect with the audience.

Lyrics seems to be the biggest issue.

*********

20 plus years in the SEC
our glory days just a memory
kicked around, battered and bruised,
what's a small state gonna do?
go get a man who knows how to raise them Hogs
now we're going crush 'em all.

lead the way with a long, white tusk and stomp you in the dust, red crush.


**************

I thought the lyrics were good, but I guess I missed the mark, mis judged what people would want to hear.

fwiw, the sound quality should be good over decent speakers and just about any set of headphones. if you are listening over a phone or on cheap pc speakers, it probably will sound cruddy, like most things will.



My real intent was to get some exposure for my other songs, which I uploaded 8 newly recorded ones this morning along with Red Crush.

Thanks for those who have listened, and thanks for the honest critique, a couple of people said it has a nice beat, so I got that. 

[OLDHOG]

It was hard to listen to but, thanks for the effort.

[OptimusHog]

Sadly, Red Crush did not encourage me to explore your other songs.

[Dwight_K_Shrute]

Love Bomb

[threeNout]

Sadly, Red Crush did not encourage me to explore your other songs.

well, I feel like it was a total failure on my part then, as I have some really good songs that I wanted people to hear.

I guess that's the difference in writing what you want to write versus writing what you think people want to hear.


Anyway, since this song and idea obviously didn't pan out, I'll encourage anyone still paying attention to check out my other songs, all I can tell you is they are quite different than Red Crush.

thank you Dwight, for still listening.

I made a joke about Red Crush earlier but some of the other songs are pretty good. Keep doing what you love.

I don't think it's the sound quality they actually meant. The mix seems wrong. I listened to it with high quality audio speakers. That's not the problem. And yeah, the lyrics need work too, but hell I wouldn't put myself out there like that and you did. Good job and keep working at it.

writing, performing, recording and mixing everything at home is a challenge, but I thought this song was recorded and mixed pretty well, still a work in progress I guess.

[threeNout]

it's definitely a cowbell kind of song.

[lefty08]

There are a lot of people on here that can take notes on how to handle a difference of opinion. You have handled yourself with grace, for that alone I'm gonna +1 you. Do what you love and to hell with everyone else

[threeNout]

thanks, MS, I still think Red Crush is a good song,  it's 80's hair metal with some tongue in cheek humor and David versus Goliath style lyrics. just not going to be for everyone, I'm probably just getting too old.

and I took no offense in what you said about it.

[threeNout]

WOO PIG!!
A-R-K-A-N-S-A-S!
RAZORBACKS!
FIGHT!!
YEA!!

20 PLUS YEARS IN THE SEC,
OUR GLORY DAYS JUST A MEMORY,
KICKED AROUND, BATTERED AND BRUISED,
WHAT'S A SMALL STATE GONNA DO?

GO GET A MAN WHO KNOWS HOW TO RAISE THEM HOGS
NOW WE'RE GONNA CRUSH 'EM ALL

RED CRUSH, RED CRUSH
LEAD THE WAY WITH A LONG WHITE TUSK AND STOMP YOU IN THE DUST
RED CRUSH

WOOO PIG SOOIE   WOOO PIG SOOIE

THE BIGGEST OFFENSIVE LINE THE WORLD'S EVER SEEN
FIRING OFF THE BALL, FIERY EYED AND SPITTING MEAN
JWILL AND AC BLASTING THROUGH
WHEN THE RED WALL FALLS ON YOU, WOO!
RED CRUSH

WOOO PIG SOOIE,  WOOO PIG!

RED CRUSH, RED CRUSH
LEAD THE WAY WITH A LONG WHITE TUSK AND STOMP YOU IN THE DUST, WOO!

RED CRUSH

ALL YOU TIGERS, DOGS AND PACHYDERMS
THE HOG IS HERE, HE'S GONNA TAKE HIS TURN
YOU'LL BE FACING A GREAT RED WALL
ON BOTH SIDES OF THE BALL.

RED CRUSH

That's cool. Just giving my thoughts. I'm not a professional musician by any means. Like I said before, I think it's cool you're putting your music out there.

[threeNout]

and I'm listening.

Crush is supposed to be a fun song, but folks should just take it or leave it for what it is. technically, it was a pretty big challenge, my reach may have exceeded my grasp on it.

It's my other songs I really want to "put out there"  Love Bomb, The Drop, Money Ain't Love, History (as presented to us)  etc,

those songs and the others are what I want people to listen to and consider, it'll probably be the biggest audience I'll have a chance at getting.

I was all about 80's big hair bands, even had a pretty big wig myself.  That sound was not that though and the lyrics could use a lot of work.  I know it might not have been written for commercial success but it could get airtime on Bo's show(or others)if you cleaned it up and persented it to them. 

I would take out identifying thing like AC and JWill for sure.  They might sue you for compensation.  LOL!

The first half of the lyrics were better than the second half.

If you want it to rock then do rock, I real couldn't classify what I was hearing.

Next time you're going to make a semi-dickaround song titled after a color and a smashing action, take a lesson from our old buddies Green Jello and their song "Orange Krunch".

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOLxZ5XHQqA

+1 to anyone who actually remembers this band.

(Danny Carey and Maynard James Keenan of Tool used to be in this band, if you can find a way to believe it)

[threeNout]

but to keep this a Razorback football discussion, the lyrics of the song paint Bielema as the hero saving the program, and leading us to a championship.

as "a man who knows how to raise those Hogs" he is helping us build the only kind of team that a small state can win a championship with, just bigger and stronger than everyone else, my opinion.

the lyrics "the biggest offensive line the world's ever seen"  obviously tongue in cheek, a reference to all the comparisons to NFL lines we saw last year.

but it'll be close to the truth this year, so I wrote the lyric.

better to crush them with.

Green Jello - 3 Little Pigs. Epic in every way.

[secneahog]

Just wasnt feeling it.

[threeNout]

Good effort and I've heard much worse.

Thank you.

I just encourage anyone who hasn't listened to it yet, to do so with an open mind and not be swayed by those who didn't like it.

[MissippHog]

threeNout,
I think it would be real cool if you were to continue to work on the song, iron a few things out, and continue to present it to us. 

[farmhawg]

Amen.

[SquidBilly]

Listened to this song and I didn't think it was too bad.  As I was listening I kept thinking I'd heard a similar sound before especially in the guitar sound.  Finally figured out that it was Backwater by the Meat Puppets I was thinking of. 

[threeNout]

I will consider it.

writing a hard rock song about the Hogs, incorporating familiar cheers, is an idea I had for a while.  Not sure anyone has ever tried such a thing before.

I love the lyrics, I'd would have a hard time changing those, I guess some just didn't get or like them, I'd entertain ideas for a different last verse though.

[Nipsey Mussle]

Actually, I thought the song was pretty good. It definitely had an 80s feel to it and I think you had good lyrics, 3. My issue, not sure if its my laptop or the song itself, but the music was just off. I'm not a music guy, so I can't really describe it, but I even had trouble understanding you at times because the music was so loud. Still, good work! I recommend everyone listen to this as well as the rest of 3's music.

[threeNout]

very thankful for the handful of positive comments about the song, it's probably the most ambitious thing I've ever tried musically, it was a lot of work.

I probably needed  a John Fogerty or Steven Tyler to sing it right.

[Nosboar Accubond]

 Not digging it but can appreciate the effort. I'm sure there are some guys that will jam it though. Woo Pig

I think I am going to re-mix it.

It sounds quite good to me on my headphones, and on an earlier CD I played in my truck.

But I added layers to the song since I burned it to CD.

I'm going to burn what I got now on CD and play it on my home stereo system, if it doesn't sound mixed right, I'll know I messed up.

technical hurdles!

. Still, good work! I recommend everyone listen to this as well as the rest of 3's music.

double thanks for that, maybe Red Crush will make more sense once we get to crushing teams this fall!  Go Hogs!

    Suggestions from someone who has been in the music business for awhile........1. Mix sounds fine.     2. Work on your vocal melodies. This particular song is not very catchy, and the lack of a strong melody is a big part of that.       3. Practice that guitar, man. Got a little ways to go there.   4. Drum machine is too busy at times, and takes away from the cohesiveness of the tune.
    Just some friendly suggestions from a fellow musician and Hog fan. Keep jamming!

[LittlePigMan]

I admit I didn't listen to it but just reading it, it doesn't seem that bad. Maybe I just sing it better in my head than you did. So maybe it's not your writing but your singing. 

[reddogjcss]

I liked it! A+ for effort!!
