Crack'a Ma' Back (Pre-Production)
Life was so much better when you walked all over me, and I say, "Crack'a 'Ma Back," honey, "Crack'a 'Ma Back," come back to me!.
Performer/Songwriter
Hey everybody! I'm Jerry Flattum, Performer/Songwriter.
The recordings you are listening to are in Pre-Production, a fancier way of saying "demo." I'm currently working on getting up the financing to re-record and master several recordings in preparation for commercial release.
Nothing drives me nuts more than knowing how these tunes will sound with new arrangements and a top notch mix/master. There's alot of color missing from the current recordings, but most of all guitar and backup vocals. Live drums and new keyboard samples will really bring the arrangement to life too.
Two of the songs feature "hired guns" (session players). Tim Thompson did the guitar and mix on "My Little Girl," a Country/Rock ballad. Thompson is a finger style champion and when he let's loose on uptempo rockers he rivals the best pickers I've ever heard.
Stephen Sea knocked out his own arrangement of "Best Place Around" and topped it off with some amazing guitar work.
Virtual instruments and sampling technology will be heavily used in the new recordings.
Once the recordings are finished, with sufficient financing and backing, I'm planning a global tour with a stage show that includes dancers, acting, stage design, lighting and costuming.
Story behind the song
While seeing a chiropractor and trying to understand the cause of why I was so out of alignment, it struck me that all the tension, stress and achy muscles was because I was unhappy over the breakup with my girlfriend. No matter what problems we had, I was much better with her than without.
The recording is in pre-production, being re-arranged and mastered in preparation for commercial release.
Lyrics
CRACK'A MA' BACK
Woke up stiff and cranky, had this low back pain.
Ever since you left I'm feelin' all this stress and strain.
All nite long a'strugglin' with my flock of sheep,
life was so much better when you walked all over me.
CRACK'A MA' BACK, honey,
CRACK'A MA' BACK, set me free.
(Chiropractor! Chiropractor!)
CRACK'A MA' BACK, honey,
CRACK'A MA' BACK, come back to me.
Sittin' on the sofa feelin' all bent out of shape,
don't know how much more of all this achin' I can take.
Lay your hands on me, got that healer's touch.
Squeeze me like ya do, so I can kick away this crutch.
CRACK'A MA' BACK, honey,
CRACK'A MA' BACK, set me free.
(Chiropractor! Chiropractor!)
CRACK'A MA' BACK, honey,
CRACK'A MA' BACK, come back to me.
Movin' up my spinal column a CRACK at a time.
Twist my neck, looks like I lost my mind.
Twisted body like an uptight rattlesnake...
Unwind me...Snap! CRACK! Uh!
Baby, I start to shake!
Think I feel arthritis settlin' in my bone,
sittin' with your photograph, feel so cold and alone.
I love you girl, love you good and bad,
you're the best doctor, this man's ever had.
CRACK'A MA' BACK, honey,
CRACK'A MA' BACK, set me free.
(Chiropractor! Chiropractor!)
CRACK'A MA' BACK, honey,
CRACK'A MA' BACK, come back to me.
Well, come on back.
CRACK'A MA' BACK.
Come on back.
CRACK MA' BACK.
CRACK'A MA' BACK. honey,
CRACK'A MA' BACK.
Come on back!
