Joanie Leeds and the Nightlights - Good Egg - COMPACT DISCS [CD]

1 Food Fight- I wanted a catchy in your face opener. This song is Time Warp meets Hole meets No Doubt 2 Kids Place- A descriptive, gentle, acoustic, folksy harmony explosion about a place JUST for kids. 3 Good Egg- Got this idea from school and having to collect 'EGG WORDS' for a grammar project. Not all schools do this but I have heard some do. It's a jumpy, upbeat cutesy tune with a twist. 4 Drummer Dan- This is DC GO GO funk all the way with Mista Cookie Jar giving it some FLAVA! 5 Hipster in the Making- As an Upper West Sider living in Brooklyn, this tune was inspired by living in the hotbed of hipster neighborhood, Williamsburg Brooklyn. I had no choice but to write this song, someone HAD to! We have the craziest people living here... and they are having kids.... it needed to be documented. I went for the cliche OOOOOHHHH chorus because hipsters LOVE that, even though they say they don't. 6 Stories from the Road- These are TRUE stories from behind the scenes, Nightlights style. I was going for a manic upbeat feel driven by the piano. We are usually rushing from place to place. It totally worked! 7 Dino on the UWS- A story song I originally wrote for the Bronx Zoo as they had me perform at their Dinosaur Safari event. I had been wanting to write a dino song. This one is gospel church meets Beatles! 8 The World is Your Oyster- Consider this Part 2 to Happy As A Clam. A folksy back and forth word game with The Pop Ups, Jacob Stein! 9 Confusing Costume- Based on a true story about my best friend's neice & nephew and their spectacular homemade costumes...my mom use to make my costumes from scratch too. 10 My Dad- Ukelele driven Trad Jazz style ala Django Reinhardt about Dads. A friend asked me to write a dad tune about his late father. I added in a lot about my own dad. 11 Shadow- Trad Ska tune with horns and cute story that every kids battles- their shadow...Sublime
