Can't decide how this title should look "on paper"

IOWOW

Iowow

IoWOW

i-o-wow

Io_wow

iowow

any suggestions?

 

here's a little worktape

http://www.jpaulmusic.com/Audio/Iowow-worktape.mp3

 

 

Iowow

 

You're brewing coffee in a Hawkeye jerzee

showing those legs giving me no mercy.

You have'nt had time for the makeup yet,

the dog ain't walked and your hair's wet

but any Iowa girl in front of me

is better than a model in a magazine.

 

CHORUS

What's in the middle of America?

Pretty girls from Iowa!

Who's in the center of the USA?

Venuses from Boone to Ames!

Babe if you're from Iowa

that state don't make sense because

eyes are telling me right now

they should have named it Iowow

Iowow

 

Near fields of crops and colleges

is where I know the action is.

When I'm with my Herkey honeypie,

I know why corn stands up all night,

they're jealous and want you to see

them growing while you're kissin' me.

 

CHORUS

 

From Cedar Falls to the Mississips

my hand's in yours and on your hips

lets scoot across and twirl around

like I'm the mayor and you're the town

 

CHORUS

You're brewing coffee in a Hawkeye jerzee

showing those legs giving me no mercy.

You have'nt had time for the makeup yet,

the dog ain't walked and your hair's still wet

but any Iowa girl in front of me

is better than a model in a magazine.

 

I made my amendment in italics. The line as is doesn't flow right when you sing it. If you add the word "still" I think you'll find it easier to sing. Anyhow, even though I'm married to a beautiful South African girl I need to visit Iowa apparently just to people watch! Cool song.

Thanks

Yeah, I did it w/ "still" yesterday and the day before and like it as well BUT :

there's barely room for a breath in the next word on the next line "any"....

Most producers would probably cut this 7-10 BPM faster than the worktape

at that point there's no room for a breath on the next line (if I left "still" in)

 

so that's why I took it out

 

unless it went

Great vocals man - love the range and the melody...

 

yeah man thanks I ugh...don't really sing country I usually get someone else do sing the demos after I flesh the worktape out....

I actually have stopped singing most of the pop/rock songs I write unless I write them for my voice.
