Excellent highly ranked original songs, in 79 different genre simultaneously. Two guys sound like 4 - only live, with no editing; real music like you've not he
Hey, thanks for checking out Rock On Songs(tm); the world's most heard "un-band" rock duo! That's right;, we get all of the fun of pretending to be a band (imagined parties, chicks and dope); without any of the muss or fuss (getting arrested, VD & overdoses). With thousands of plays everyday, we get maximum exposure, while getting to bed by 9:00 (a seniors dream come true). Currently with over 12.7 million song plays; we're ripping the competition a new one, and don't even have to pay a rode crew. Here's why we're one-of-a-kind: 1. All songs are played & recorded "live" in one "same take." This means it's real music. We never edit anything, just like a real stage show; so you get the real deal. We're covering 78 different sub-genre simultaneously - that's crazy talk! 2. We have two "special needs" members: Richard "Dick" Butters (my left hand playing fau-bass on a Roland EXR-3) because everyone knows that most bass players drink too much and they only are playing one note anyway; and Brazilian born Ricardo "Sticks" Mandelay (Dr. Rhythm 880 drum machine) which we use as a metronome (unsequenced), because most drummers are always late and usually get all the chicks anyway. Our human members: Bill "burly beef" De Haan (rhythm & lead using an SG & Signature Strat) & Dave "the guy" Van Wormer (keys: Korg Trinity Plus & Roland EXR-3, vocals & composer) drive the boat; turning out tune after tune (influenced by 60's & 70's British & American roots). 3. Our "world famous" News Page: Updated several times each month, we tell you the "truth" others don't have the stones to say - always true, always made up, and always nutty. 4. We may be outside of your home now: look out the window, really. And of course, it's much easier for two guys to get along and get things done rather than four (and since we're an "un-band;" it's totally okay). We're about fun & the music. We have great songs and great lyrics; make sure and go to the full song info pages to check out our lyrics (of course you can't always hear them - this is rock & roll gang!) Everything is free so make sure and "take it with you." We're starting our 6th year here and there's plenty more to come; 130 so far; listen to them all - or you will die someday.

Story behind the song
Every band band needs a sea ditty - but "oh mamma!"what a good tune this turned out to be. Feel the brine as the captain realizes his fate. aye.... mateee,,,,aye!
Lyrics
Verse 1 Dawn and the engines out, hope there are ships about- Sparks sais "help is just 12 miles away." Helm is not working now, a reef's just off our bow - but then help is just 12 miles away. Chorus 1 But at night when the sea's just calm as can be - you're the lord of your soul and your mind. But now it's too late, cause of your coming fate - guess that now everything's been left behind. Verse 2 Sent the last Morris code, Jake's trapped down in the hold - it's to far even 12 miles away. Well I might have done much worse, followed another's verse - and never been 12 miles away. Chorus 2 But my life's been so good, on the waves and the wood - and there's not any thoughts of regret. So, if you live your way, you'll be able to say - "what I give is more than what I get."
