Finger style and Acoustic Progressive guitar, flute, synth and Mellotron.
Welcome to the music of Carlo D'Anna's Ridiculous Dream music. Also known as "Dream Warrior" in some circles. Influences and music styles ranging from basic to progressive rock, with definite Retro seventies sound. If you enjoy the sound of Moody Blues, George Harrison, Genesis, Dead Can Dance, and others of the same style, more or less, you will probably like this music. I use quite a bit of Mellotron and acoustic fingerstyle guitar as well.

Lyrics
I’m the baddest guy I know.. The baddest guy I know. When I go walking down the street, I’m so cool, With my zoot-suit and my pompadour hairstyle, I’m the baddest guy I know. I’m a one man walking Las Vegas show. I move down the promenade, my nose in the air. My reflection in the windows is so debonair. To women, they know me as Mister Charm. The men see Alpha Male when I show those bulges in my arm. Enticing as I seem I am quite alone Contamination in my gene pool is a real concern So I wear my best kimono and I dance for them, In the streets I display my prodigious specimen. I’m the baddest guy I know, The baddest guy I know. One of these days the world will recognize That I am super special and not a regular guy. My lineage goes back to Charlemagne, With a mix of Cleopatra and Rasputin.

You really paint a picture with this one Carlo that leaves one wondering just how much of the protagonist's allure is in his own head. Funny, fun, and I really dig the percussion. A little latin/prog/psychedelic combo - pure Carlo magic.

I love how this song not only sounds great but tells a good story of people who we've probably all seen at times. Very cool brahdah!

What a great subject for the theme. Clever track Carlo. Yeah, I agree. I think everyone has met a person of this disposition. Enjoyed listening.

Everybody needs to laugh and this parody should be just the ticket. Think I've known a couple of these characters over time...Great job!
