an original from Doc Dan the Guitar Man called “Smiling Stupid”

lyrics

Smiling stupid

Chorus
I’m miling stupid, feeling dumb, smiling stupid, stupid for love
Smiling stupid, feeling dumb, smiling stupid, stupid for your love

Verse 1
It’s in between my ears and under my nose, I don’t care if everybody knows
It’s between my lips and above my chin, ooo… I’m wearing a perma grin

Chorus

Verse 2
Not complicated, it’s not hard, not complicated, no matter how smart you are
It’s 1+1 equal 2, I count on my toes to add up to you
Not complicated, it’s not hard, not complicated, no matter how smart you are
It’s L., O., V. and E., that spells you and me

Chorus

You need a heart, need a heart, don’t need a brain
When loves got you thinking all insane
You need a heart, need a heart, don’t need a brain
Feels so good cannot explain

If love is a test graded on a curve, babe I’ll give you the love you deserve
Your love is a test I will not fail, my good grades coming home to you in the mail
So smile stupid, smile with me, love stupid, let everybody see
So smile stupid, smile with me, love stupid, silly as can be

Enjoyed that, Danny, guitar sounded good and had a lovely whimsical vibe to it.

I edited the post to change the title to the song title and used a youtube watch link rather than a youtu.be link. Better to use the link from youtube rather than having the other form of link in the title.

That was a nice song Dan. It would work well on a uke as well, I think.

4

You are on a roll Danny. That was a lot of fun to listen to. :sunglasses:

5

That’s a pretty catchy song you wrote there Dan.

I think this would be a textbook example of how to apply Justin’s D Chord Explorer Study to a song. Well done!

Cool tune, Dan! :smiley:

It was enjoyable to listen, had a great vibe and it’s a topic, a lot of people can relate to. It’s kind of catchy as well. Very well done! :slight_smile:

Thanks for sharing!

Someone once said:

You’d think that people would’ve had enough of silly love songs
I look around me, and I see it isn’t so
Some people want to fill the world with silly love songs
And what’s wrong with that? :musical_score: :notes:

Enjoy your well-crafted originals, Dan :smiley:
Always entertaining and well-performed.
Positive suggestion: Would a different bridge/chord progression add more spice? :thinking:

15

You are right.
The bridge needs a new chord or change in sequence to match the lyric” you need a heart, you need a heart, you don’t need a brain”

16

me again, i fixed it

never really used the 5 chord much in this song

so made the bridge progression D/G/A/D (shapes) =E/A/B/E (actual chords)

extremely helpful advice
