Re: Alligator Pie competes with most songs from the "Big Three"

i feel like it's better than some songs off of the big 3, but doesn't touch the really good ones.

    For the past week, I've tried to find something to like about this song. It just doesn't work for me. My least favorite on the album, easily.

    Most means > 50%, right?

    In that case, not a fucking chance.

    yes it does.. IMO.. I do love how some of you songwriters critique lyrics.. this song and album for that matter gets better after evry listen.. so IMO that's a good thing..

    Alligator Pie = insane jam session, deep beats, "shallow words", and Stella

    This song isn't supposed to "mean" anything (in my opinion). Just a fun and fast romp through the bayou, so to speak.

    I love this one.

    Good song that I enjoy, but I wouldn't say it's remotely near Big 3 worthy for me... I wouldn't take it over any songs from UTTAD, maybe Let You Down from Crash, and probably Stay from BTCS.... Other than that, no contest.

    I'd say Squirm or Lying in the Hands of God are the songs that are in competition with Big 3 songs. Those two songs are brilliant.

    I pray I didn't read that AP was better than Pig in this thread.

    Don't get me wrong, I love me some AP. But Pig?

    the chorus is unreal. but the rest is somewhat of a mess, enjoyable, but somewhat of a mess.

    At first I wasn't crazy about it, now I would probably put it near the top. I don't see why the Stella line is offensive. People can't seem to separate Stella asking Dave in the living room to put her in a song, and the character Stella on her rooftop in the aftermath of Katrina asking her dad when are you going to sing about what is happening to me.

    Maybe they aren't very poetic, but I don't think Dave wanted people wondering what this song was about. He is telling a story, hell I would say painting a picture. Especially love the first verse.

    Anyway, it's a jamming tune.

    i didnt necessarily say that alligator pie was better than any of those songs, i just went with thread title and said they could "compete". Just because they are old classic songs does not mean that alligator pie could not be held to the same standard someday.

    Sorry, but Alligator Pie isn't as brilliant as everyone says it is... Just listen to it again and then pop in DIDO, Cry Freedom or PFWYG
