I put down a track, Frank. Whaddayathink? You'd think this would be an easy song but it's kind of like tapping your head and rubbing your belly for 3 minutes and 48 seconds.

@thx1138: Lol. No problemo. That girly one #? (1.25 m song) was a little harder. I recorded to that today and left a track but the two drum stops are weird. I haven't figured them out.

@thx1138: There's another girly #? I did for you that was a lot of fun but some weird percussion. I gotta find that one and redo.
