| I've seen Jeff Elbel + Ping play at Cornerstone Festival numerous times and always have a great time. Of the different CD's I have by Ping, this is my all-time favorite. The wit and humor of many of the songs is balanced nicely by intelligent looks at various aspects of work, relationships, parenting, pregnancy, annoying neighbors pets, and humble appreciation of one's bandmates. The music has a nice mix of styles that will appeal to most listeners. While I like the entire disc and listen to it often, my favorite tracks are Engine of Destruction (great view of parenting), You Little Victim (bluesy), Bark Along with Cody (unadulterated fun), Soul Destroyer (somedays it be that way), and Sing It Out Loud / Time To Leave (two band appreciation numbers - the latter's rollicking chorus put's me in mind of Leadbelly's "Midnight Special." If you like thoughtful, witty music with lots of creativity, get this release....get it NOW. You won't be sorry! - Mark Hootman | - Marathon |
| Facts: |
| The song is based upon the true story of Jeff's experience trying to run a recording studio nextdoor to a family's new, noisy dog. (Marathon) |

| Song Lyrics: |
Our neighbors are such kindly folk
Friendly to the last
But calm and peaceful living here
has vanished in the past
Since the day that they brought home
A shepherd dog to keep
He doesn't wake us up
because we never get to sleep
Oh, bark along with Cody
Howl with all your might
Bark along at nothing
Do it day and night
The song is neverending
Join anytime you like
Bark along with Cody
Step up to the mic
Recording in my studio
I work here everyday
He lives outside my window
without much room to play
My clientele is shrinking
It's hard to win them back
with this uninvited guest
on all my drum and vocal tracks
Oh, bark along with Cody
Howl with all your might
Bark along at nothing
Do it day and night
We've found no way to stop him
His owners never try
Bark along, bark along
Bark until you die
His family's inattentive
It drives him barking mad
And if his bark is worse
His bite could still be pretty bad
While every thundering bow wow
and each unholy woof
puts gray into my hair
and shakes the shingles from the roof
Sometimes I imagine that
he does it out of spite
A devil dog to hound me
and fill my soul with fright
In reality he's just
a lonely oafish pup
I would love him all to bits
if I could only shut him up
Oh, bark along with Cody
Howl with all your might
Bark along at nothing
Do it day and night
There's no way you can stop him
He's going to have his say
Bark along, bark along
Let Cody have his day
Cody! Shaddup!
