Title: Son of Simpleton
Post by: Drew_Kingsley on December 20, 2003, 02:21:00 am
I suppose this one\'s for the old Mokijam crowd...
Obviously I noticed that "Son of Simpleton" is basically (if not completely) just a faster version of "Simpleton". At Tim\'s 12/17/03 acoustic show, he played "Simpleton" but sung the lyrics to "Son of Simpleton". So my question is, do both songs have the same lyrics or was Tim just messing around by singing the "Son of Simpleton" lyrics to the tune of the original?

They are 2 different songs. At previous acoustic shows tim has played son of simpleton and then played just simpleton after it. And tim just plays son of simpleton slower when he is playing by himself.

2 completely different songs. never tabbed it out, but just listing to it, simpleton has lots more chords, and almost all of them are \'jazz\' chords. son of simpleton is more of a striaght forward rock tune with standard 135 chords. I think simpleton is a much better song.

2 seperate songs. I think Simpleton spawned Son Of Simpleton.

Does anyone out there have a version of Simpleton they can share? I really want to hear this song and I'm not sure when I can make it to a Timmy Tour show. A Simpleton > Son of Simpleton would be choice but I won't complain one bit.

I know there is a good version I used to listen to but can't recall what it is at the moment. I'll let you know if I think of it.
