STFU
Liner Notes
So @beto asked in the forums which musical trope or cliché we hated the most. And then set us the task of writing a song about the thing we said that we loathed.

Lyrics
The band just took the stage
so why all this frustration?
Because of you; you have no clue
you're deep in conversation
You're here to stand and listen
You're here to be the crowd
What makes you think we want to hear you
Saying things out loud?
If you're at a gig with me
This is what you do:
Quit your yappin'
Stick to clappin'
and STFU!
You seem to lack the wit to see
You lack consideration
Or that your volubility
is such an aberration
Cease your aimless prattle!
Still your wagging tongue!
If you shut up long enough
You might enjoy this song!
Comments
And need I say I am in agreement with you? Right on.
I particularly appreciated your biting-it-back, seething vocal delivery on the chorus. And the music is great too!
Jazz: clap at the end of each solo, even though the band is still playing.
Classical: hold applause until the end of the piece; don't clap between movements.
Rock: talk through the whole show about how the band used to be better.
Brillian guitars, I like the descending lines a lot!
