Cool surfin' swinging classic rock Robot Raven

A Girl Like You is a great opening track. John wanted to do a swinging/surfin' number that would be an upbeat version of early guitar instrumentals he used to learn from The Ventures or The Pyramids - songs like Pipeline, Walk, Don't Run or Penetration. He sent me a demo singing scat where the lyrics would fit, but he originally used "a girl like you" in the refrain and I liked it. So, I just filled in the rest of the blanks. He told me back then it was easier to do a key change than write a Mid-8 break. Voila!

A Girl Like You (refrain) What am I gonna do with a girl like you? You come in here and play it oh so cool. No matter what I say, I know you’ll make me pay. What am I gonna do with a girl like you? It’s never just okay, but I love you anyway. What am I gonna do with a girl like you? Friends say I’m a hopeless case – they wonder why I’m blind. Maybe I’m the crazy one ‘cause I want to make you mine. Day will come, I’ll be the one, that’s my whole design. We’ll turn your cool into a shiny jewel if you’re so inclined. I sing these blues so you will choose, to make my chestnuts chime. If you walk right past me, you’ll leave my love behind. (refrain) What am I gonna do? What am I gonna do? What can I do? What am I gonna do? x

Song Comments Eve's New Favorites wow, the Ventures meet Bob Dylan, this should be a theme for some cool movie.
