Trad Wife - VHS does parody music

[vomitHatSteve]

So the main joke of this song popped into my head, and I couldn't get rid of it without finishing the rest of the song.

So here's a parody of Billie Eilish's "Bad Guy"
It's a very minimal mix compared to my usual. (Other than the harmonies and doubling the Abomination, this is exactly how I would do it live.) So I'm curious to hear y'all's mix recommendations for it

Bad Guys - Lyrics

► Show Spoiler

I film myself raising my kids
Cooking and cleaning just a bit
While my husband's away at work
Jobs are for jerks

Kitchen it is meticulous
Recipes are ridiculous
"How does she have the time for this?"
Something you missed

The real work is outsourced
Cleaning by maids of course
Food is mostly catered
Homeschool kids are tutored

I'm that bad type
My first wave granny's sad type
There's a pipeline, you see
Christian white supremacy

I'm the trad wife, duh!

Influencers are not your friend
To them you're a means to an end
Show you some ads for cash to spend
Sell you down bend

Another point of data
Ship you off to meta
They're voting with your dollars
that they've already collared
Raising all the rents now
While they bail their friends out
Next they're burning the skies
While the coral reef dies

They're the ad guys, duh!

I thought I'd commented on this last night but I had had a drink so probably messed it up.

It's a fun listen. I don't know anything about Billie Eilish to compare but this sounds good, although maybe a little lofi? Is that intentional?

[vomitHatSteve]

All my stuff is a little lo-fi by design. And the original is also kind of lo-fi but in a different sort of way.

I actually used this video as a basis for a lot of my production decisions

All good then. It's definitely got that lofi sound.

The 1st two verses are on point for your personal tortured phrasing thing...works for me.
I enjoyed the whole thing - sort of Tubes song without the histrionic guitars.

nice .... I like how you have th voices on top of everything ... you can understand the words which you need for this one .... what is the abomination?

I mean I hear it ...... but what is it?

I'm not familiar with the tubes. I'll have to check them out momentarily

Excellent. Yeah, being this vocal forward is a little off-brand for me!
The Abomination is my modified shortscale bass. It's tuned to D2D3A3D4 so that I can play bass and guitar parts simultaneously (and there's an additional pup under the D2)

Oh wait, I do know the song She's a Beauty.
