I'VE GOT MAIL 
I'm the God of their idolatry, 
I'VE GOT MAIL 
Yeah, that's what that man says to me, 
I'VE GOT MAIL 
Praise the land of liberty, 
I'VE GOT MAIL 
And this is how it's meant to be---------------- 

Tell me why, if all men must die, 
Why we always crave to live. 
And tell me please, why when I touch the keys, 
Do I feel a need to gi-------------------ive. 

I'VE GOT MAIL 
I'm the God of their idolatry, 
I'VE GOT MAIL 
Yeah, that's what that man says to me, 
I'VE GOT MAIL 
Praise the land of liberty, 
I'VE GOT MAIL 
And this is how it's meant to be---------------- 

Goodbye, he says with a sigh, 
But I can't turn off the light. 
Oh well, I say, I pay anyway, 
So I'm gonna spend the ni------------------ight. 

I'VE GOT MAIL 
I'm the God of their idolatry, 
I'VE GOT MAIL 
Yeah, that's what that man says to me, 
I'VE GOT MAIL 
Praise the land of liberty, 
I'VE GOT MAIL 
And this is how it's meant to be----------------

Apropos! In this age of technology and connection, email still sparks a thrill and draws us in. This song makes me want to check mine. Great hook, "I'VE GOT MAIL". Good hooks really help us remember a song and can even be as effective as the melody/music. I hear the hook as a fore ground vocal lead with backup singers filling the lines between. I think a medium pace shuffle would work well here. Maybe some horns echoing the hook. This is a good song with a lot of room to play.

Keep it up Andrew Dudzik and send us some more (MAIL [submissions]).
