Mercedes Benz, by Janis Joplin.
Please do not buy me a Mercedes Benz, O Lord.
If you think I look tired in this one, wait until tomorrow night.
This evening I read the instructions for the wrist brace. They start with the words “FOR LEFT HAND USE” and reader, I gasped, because I did not know the splint belonged on the palm side, and I’ve been wearing this thing so wrong it was causing me pain, though certainly stabilizing my wrist well enough.
Might as well work on the acapella-adjacent harmony things if I can’t use two-handed instruments, right?
I tried a whole “sing along to a chord so you actually stay in the same key this time” approach, and it went okay. Then I transposed it up a fifth and sang along to that, too. Then I dumped all the Casio backing tracks and just left the simple drum loop and three vocal tracks. It’s only as terrible as my singing.
This song should never have been in a Mercedes commercial.
