This isn’t finished, but I figured I would post a rough cut of Parker’s new song “What’s Going On At The Mall.” She actually did almost all the vocal work on this one, which is a first for us.

We still have another verse to write, and perhaps some more instruments to add, but this is a pretty good outline of the song.

Mommy and Daddy on hand claps and backing vocals.

A Joe Devine original song I wrote for my daughter in 2008…but she was only three and couldn’t sing it. So I did. And she did a little bit here and there. It’s a bit hip hop and rap.

What’s Your Name Again.mp3

lyrics:
my name is Parker
my name is Parker
my hair is blonde but it’s gonna get darker

her name is parker
her hair is blonde but it’s gonna get darker
dolls
yeah that’s right i said it
if you can’t hang with barbie
then you might as well forget it
style fashion art is her game
and so you don’t forget
parker anne is her name

what’s your name again
parker anne
what’s your name again
parker anne
what’s your name again
parker anne
what’s your name again
parker anne

she loves movie
scooby doo is the bomb
sometimes she even watches with her dad and her mom
snacks
oh yeah she likes the yum yums
swimming in the pool
don’t want to be hum drum
style fashion art is her game
and so you don’t forget
parker anne is her name

what’s your name again
parker anne
what’s your name again
parker anne
what’s your name again
parker anne
what’s your name again
parker anne

music
she likes to dance she likes to sing
keeping it real is the promise that she brings
magic
her daddy likes to do his tricks
cards in his hands and his moves are pretty sick
snuggles mermaids
she likes to entertain
and so you don’t forget
parker anne is her name

what’s your name again
parker anne
what’s your name again
parker anne
what’s your name again
parker anne
what’s your name again
parker anne

This is a song I wrote with Chris Raspante who was my partner in Red Barn Studio in the late 1990s. He’s now a somewhat famous guitar player in Nashville and in 2012 was touring with Ty Herndon.

He’s also noted for playing the guitar on the the “True Blood” TV theme.

This song was on the J. Gilligan’s 1996 Compilation “Texas Bands and Irish Natchos” although this is the original scrub songwriter’s version and not the version on that album.

Chris is singing, I did everything else but play the guitar.

The lyrics (thankfully) changed before we released the song.
