James, this melody over these chords is so good, I could hear that over and over, which is a good thing because I think it will be stuck in my head.  Good work!

Its a cool contrast/combo of whimsy and a subtly serious tone/message too (like maybe corny jokes keep us alive/connected?) also, it reminded me there was a middle school joke about pen15 club... in hindsight, whats wrong with penises or underwear? 😆

Great philosophy and take on the prompt. As always so poetic with your clever words overlaying the low key guitar.

James - you make this stuff sound effortless! Hats off to you. (And love the falsetto!) x

Ooh this is so good. What everybody else said. You songwriter Jedi you, making a beautifully sweet song about an underwear joke.

"Under Where" (#580, 220711)

I heard a joke on NPR
Must a been a week ago
I can't recall the way it starts
But the end that much I know

It started with a simple phrase
When Person A says, "under there"
And Person B not one bit phased
Takes the bait saying, "under where?"

And then we laugh until we cry
And finally we're young again
That's all it takes to press rewind
On the clock my friend

Now every day I tell a joke
To someone in my life
It's not world peace but even so
Seems to make me feel alright
I feel alright
