Kind of a top 10 list for a successful blues song

(Photo credits lowfatbrains)

When I posted the funny top ten list for a power metal band, I didn’t think it will be such a hit.

Now, on a music blog that I read everyday (littlerockjams.com) I have found an other one that looks kind of a “Top 10 tips for a blues song”.

I will put here a few “funny tips”, without ruining the original list, that I invite you to read on the original site:

1. Most Blues begin with: “Woke up this morning…”
2. “I got a good woman” is a bad way to begin the Blues, unless you stick something nasty in the next line like, “I got a good woman, with the meanest face in town.”
3. The Blues is simple. After you get the first line right, repeat it. Then find something that rhymes… Sort of: “Got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Yes, I got a good woman with the meanest face in town. Got teeth like Margaret Thatcher, and she weigh 500 pound.”
4. The Blues is not about choice. You stuck in a ditch, you stuck in a ditch - ain’t no way out.
5. Persons with names like Michelle, Amber, Jennifer, Tiffany, Brooke, Brittany and Heather can’t sing the Blues no matter how many men they shoot in Memphis.

And my favorite…I don’t care how tragic your life: if you own a computer, you cannot sing the blues!
