That sounds like a phrase from some lost Robin Gibb song. It's a tricky meter. I think I would sustain the third stressed syllable and then rush the last two unstressed, like: DUM da da DUM da da DUMMMM dada Are you with me? How's this-- PINing the END of a SCREWWW driver, BUYing a PINT with a NEWWW fiver I don't think Robin could do better. Sing that to a guitar strumming the same note over and over, or slowly changing organ chords. --Joe Brennan Back to top
