Hello Tomas and all students from RGS

This song is made for my niece who had to scratch herself all over her body during summer, “the mosquitos just love me” was her comment to her mother.

I liked her funny statment and composed text and music to this subject.

It says: The mosquitos love her and they stick her everywhere. Then she becomes very angry and shouts that they now have to stop it. But they just answer her that they are very sorry they can’t stop sticking because her blood tasts so good. Finally she decides to put them outside the house.

The melody is in the key of G.

My question to you is whether you can help me find an interesting introduction or other ways of playing this song so that it isn’t the same thing all the way?

Hah… that made me smile. 🙂 I’m gathering it’s a song about mosquitoes.
If I were playing a song like this, I would just use a very simple introduction, like playing the chords through once or twice before I start singing. You could jazz the chords up a little bit by adding a few bass notes between the chord changes, but for me, that’s not necessary.
