Question

White Man Blues
by zzzzzsssseee443

I want to sing the blues so bad
It feels like a heart attack
Yea I got these mean old blues so bad
It feels like a heart attack
But, every word comes out sounding dorky
Why couldn't this boy been born black?

I try hard to get soul goin
But it ain't no use when I try
Yes I try hard to play and sing the blues
But it ain't no use for my to try
You see I am a cau-kay-shun fellow
It sounds like tony bennett, lord tell me why

On the sixth hour
Of the sixth day
Of the sixth month
The sixth policeman say
"You will never be a lover,
You will never play the blues
You will always be cau-kay-shun
You haven't got a clue"

I am a dorky white man
Oh lord I promise you I am
Yes I am a dorky white man
But I'm not the Son of Sam
So believe in what Im sayin to you
Cuz what I am is what I am

Answer 1

It funny, but just a wee bit on the racist side - there are plenty of white blues players that are just great - Johhny Winter, Joe Bonamassa, Walter Trout, and lots more.

Stay tuned for my song - "Billionaire's Blues" if you like a good laugh.

Answer 2

No, I didn't really like it much. Whether you realized it or not, the lyrics had some racist overtone to it. More than that, it was just bad blues poetry....you indirectly ripped off Muddy's "Hoochie Koochie Man" during the next to last stanza.
I'm not saying you are a racist, but I think that you spent less than 15 minutes putting the lyrics together, and you see the blues as an easy music form to crank out a tune in 15 minutes or less.
Your words aren't as clever as you may think, and the allusions to Son Of Sam are completely out of context.
Why not try writing a blues song with some genuine heartfelt lyrics, and stop quoting Popeye the Sailor (I am what I am) ?
Try a re-write and maybe you'll come up with something more subtle and humorous.

Answer 3

no, but I guess it is truthful for you, so It has that ging for it I guess?. The blues , like country is about being authentic in whol you are, about yourself, it is not commercial music like rock,rap and pop and all the other "popular " radio tunes. people can tell if your genuine in feeling the blues the first line of any song you sing, it's in the character of the sound that gcomes out of you, they can tell if it genuine or not. Remember this," you cannot sing the blues unless you have been drag through the mud in life" you cannot sing what you have to experienced, and sound genuine to others. I do sing the blues, I am white, I don't try to be black, or sound black, I also sing country as well, both forms are extremly similar, and often cross lines back and forth, Johnnie cash and Hank williams could sing the blues, and the father of country music, Jimmie rodgers, was known as the MIssissippi blues yodler, and most of his 120 songs where very much blues and country. the LBues is mostly by blacks in the rural or urban poor communities , about bad luck with women,drinking, the law and relationships, and of course being down and out. country covers the same exact catagories and type of backgrounds, except the music is a little different. both use the repetion style of telling a story, and both are played mostly in 3 repeated guitar chords (E,A, and B7 for the blues, C

Answer 4

It reminds me of a song I think was called "Upper Middle Class Blues":

Well, I woke up this afternoon
And I saw both cars were gone

Said I woke up this afternoon
And I saw both cars were gone

I felt so low down deep inside
I threw my drink across the lawn.

Answer 5

Hahahaha yeah man that was great..
what a way to end the day..

Answer 6

Too funny...
