Swamp Guinea

May 27, 2015 remastered version here: https://kat330.bandcamp.com/track/swamp-guinea-2015-remaster by K.A. Martin (Sept. 19, 2013) [Heard Sep 11, 2014 here: http://www.wfmu.org/playlists/shows/57252] I've layered in much from my new keyboard here [drums, organ, trumpet, sax and sundry sound effects] over my Epiphone (rhythm + lead), piano, kantele, bongos, "cowbell" and vocal tracks. The only imported sound here is the chicken bawk. If nothing else, I hope the amount of tediously time-consuming production and engineering effort here is realized and appreciated. CREDIT: Spot-on caricature art and swamp froggy shouts are provided by my hunaja (JT Lindroos). DISCREDIT: Similarity to anyone living or dead may or may not be purely coincidental. But about every lowest middle-class neighborhood (such as ours) in the US south, or putative south (such as Knob Knee), has a "Cindy Vinny" in residence. As for the "Swamp Guinea" epithet itself, I had never come across the term until JT—who also had no prior knowledge of it—overheard a neighbor use the term and told me of it. I thought it was colorfully descriptive of a certain "southern trash" harridan hen who is often wedded to a redneck "Jimmy" rooster. If it has ANY other connotation to anyone reading and listening, rest assured it's nothing whatsoever to do with my context here. CHORUS: (She's a) Swamp Guinea A nosy ol' biddy (Such a) Swamp Guinea So mean, so skinny (Could be) her name's Cindy Vinny And she puts it over Jimmy (Swamp Guinea, a nutty ol' ninny) 'Cuz Jimmy's always chorin' While Guinea is a-snorin' [CHORUS] She is lackadaisy lazy Always actin' kinda crazy (Swamp Guinea, a nutty ol' ninny) Still Jimmy is a-sweepin' While Guinea is a-sleepin' [CHORUS] She is proud to be a bitch And to never work a stitch (Swamp Guinea, a nutty ol' ninny) Jimmy's sowin' and a-mowin' While Guinea's on her phone [CHORUS] Hubby hasn't got a clue That his Guinea is a shrew (Swamp Guinea, a nutty ol' ninny) 'Cuz Jimmy's chainsawin' And his Guinea's just a-jawin' [CHORUS] BREAK She's a little off her rocker on their porch [gossip scorch!] Never playing with a full one on their deck [what a wreck!] Always up to no good She's pollutin' the 'hood (Swamp Guinea, a nutty ol' ninny) Still Jimmy's garden tillin' While Guinea's just a-chillin' [CHORUS] She's always talkin' smack Making dirty little cracks (Swamp Guinea, a nutty ol' ninny) Yet Jimmy's weed whackin' While Guinea's sittin' back and [CHORUS] Looks of warmed-over death Guinea must be doin' meth (Swamp Guinea, a nutty ol' ninny) Watchin' Jimmy pitchin' twigs She's just suckin' on her cigs [CHORUS] Up the block she walks In a bathrobe and her socks (Swamp Guinea, a nutty ol' ninny) While Jimmy's hedge trimmin' She's above-ground swimmin' [CHORUS] Gotta hand it to the Guinea She sure puts one over Jimmy!
