"Pump The Breaks" - Third Cat

billy you bore me
with your tired stories
i've heard it all before

you know i don't care
about that stupid game
can't take it anymore
you tell me just the same

if you're thinking of coming by unannounced
just take that thought and let it bounce

for fuck's sake
pump the breaks
don't come giving me headaches

leave me alone
don't even call me on the phone

billy you tell me
how these feminazis
make it so hard to be a man

you took the red pill
going your own way
you tell me about your plan
seems like every day

your only tip for the waiter is
"get yourself a better job"
your never give to the homeless 'cause
"nothing but some lazy slobs"
you say "I'm not a racist ... but"

if you're thinking of coming by unannounced
just take that thought and let it bounce

for fuck's sake
pump the breaks
don't come giving me headaches

leave me alone
don't even call me on the phone

if you weren't my brother
and it wouldn't kill our mother
i could do without seeing you again
DNA doesn't make you my friend.

The transition out of tSC and into this made me chuckle. The beat is catchy, mixed with the soft guitar in the back. It’s good. I will say, the lyrics and the vocal delivery don’t seem to match? The song is very mellow and the lyrics are pretty aggressive in some places.

is this the most lyrics that a Third Cat song has ever had? That's not a complaint (they're really good!) just an observation. This is pretty great, and I love the different vocal sounds and FX you're using. The bit where "I'm not racist, but..." tails off into delayed ellipses is totally inspired. Something about the last couple of lines doesn’t quite work for me, maybe it’s too neat a conclusion for a complex subject? But I liked this a lot.

Glad you named a target, cause for most of the song I was thinking, “Why should I care about this random Billy guy?” I didn’t know if he was a fictional character just for this song (and he still might be), or if it was a real person. This song lacks a hook...or at least a catchy one. I was never really ready to start singing along to this. I’m not sure this will hold much interest for anyone other than the 2 people it was meant for. But I always say write songs for yourself first, so if this song did something for you great. Not sure it’ll do much for you in the contest though.

I really enjoyed the specificity of your lyrics this time, and there are parts of the melody I really liked, like "leave me alone/don't even call me on the phone". Some of the other parts of the melody just wouldn't stay in my head. The vocals seem a bit too loud. As usual, I like your creative use of effects, although the production as a whole didn't grab me (might be the vocals drowning it out). I feel like it's not a diss track so much as a description of a nasty character, but there's some good vitriol in here, those last lines in particular. I just looked at your notes and saw you weren't happy with your vocal performance, but I didn't notice any issues...?
