Story behind the song
I was in a duo with my x-wife. We played clubs all over the New York metro area. The club that inspired the song was up north on the west side of the Hudson River, across from West Point. Like so many local clubs seemingly hidden away from the rest of the world, for the locals who hang out there, it's the "Best Place Around." Musicians claim they've finally paid their dues after playing in "dives," and the club I'm talkin' about was definitely...a dive. I've played in fancy clubs too and ya know what? I'll take a dive any ol' day. Arrangement and guitar by Stephen Sea (LA) The recording is in pre-production, being re-arranged and mastered in preparation for commercial release.
Lyrics
BEST PLACE AROUND Place starts jumpin', 'bout a quarter after midnite. High bound, gettin' down, get'cha feelin' all right. That guy, leavin' early, oh, oh, what a mistake. That girl he was sittin' with, just started to shake. You're here, right here, In the BEST PLACE AROUND. In the BEST PLACE AROUND. In the BEST PLACE AROUND. In the BEST PLACE AROUND. Boy's gettin' rowdy, gettin' ready for a good time. Girls riled, gettin' wild, you know that that's a good sign. Don't care what you're sayin', don't care how much you got. I like who you are, uh huh, not who your not. You're here, right here, In the BEST PLACE AROUND. In the BEST PLACE AROUND. In the BEST PLACE AROUND. In the BEST PLACE AROUND. INSTRUMENTAL w/ Party Voices You'll be jumpin' and a'screamin' all nite long. You won't be goin' home until the break of dawn. Band is cookin', they got the whole place shakin'. Owner - pay 'em more, ya know they won't be breakin'. Jimmy the bartender, he knows who's lonely, he knows whose bad. Tip him real good now, he'll fix the best drink ya ever had. You're here, right here, In the BEST PLACE AROUND. In the BEST PLACE AROUND. In the BEST PLACE AROUND. In the BEST PLACE AROUND. In the BEST PLACE AROUND. In the BEST PLACE AROUND. In the BEST PLACE AROUND. In the BEST PLACE AROUND. Copr. 2010 Jerry Flattum
