The music of Lee Shapiro, which consists of a variety of styles and genres. I would appreciate if you "liked" or commented on any of the songs you enjoy.
My favorite kinds of music is the kind that surprises you. While I enjoy conventional type songs (verse, chorus, verse chorus, bridge, chorus), I prefer songs that take you on an adventure. This includes jam songs (Grateful Dead), and songs with many detours and lots of dynamics (Rickie Lee Jones, Dave Matthews). Although most of my songs tend to fall into some kind of normal verse/chorus formula, I do tend to try and mix things up a bit. Which is why most of my songs last longer than 4 or 5 minutes.

Story behind the song
In the 80's I did the personal dating ad scene, to the extreme. Out of the dozens and dozens (perhaps hundreds) of first dates I had to endure, some of them were pretty nasty. This song is about Mabel Plastic a composite of all the nastier dates I've been on. All names mentioned in the song are fictional and do not represent any real person, living or undead. Likewise, my caveman attitude of women in this song does not represent my true feelings toward the fairer sex.
