This is the song about it and the lessons I've learned...

Lyrics - an uninspired translation to english:

It was yesterday, I was in quite a hurry
But every traffic light showed red
Waited for green and pushed the pedal then

No, I'm not an idiot. I wait at each red light...

It was yesterday, I was quite in a hurry
But all (legal) parking space was used.
When I saw another car leaving
I had to wait no more.

No, I'm not an idiot. I'm not going to leave my car in a no-parking area...

I really like that, quite 80's-ish sounds used there. I'd perhaps un-disguise the vocals a bit, so you can tell what's being said. Liked the wide stereo snare muchly

Ends somewhat abruptly though..?

Hi CounterParts,

thanks for your kind review. You can find the lyrics translated to english in my initial post.

The german version is:

Gestern abend
ich war arg in Not
Jede Ampel stand auf rot

Hab ich dann auf grün gewartet
bin dann gleich durchgestartet

Nein, ich bin kein Idiot,
ich warte auch bei rot
(Repeat)

Gestern abend
ich war arg in Not
freier Platz nur im Parkverbot

Ich sah dann einen Wagen starten
da musste ich nicht länger warten

Nein ich bin kein Idiot,
ich steh nicht im Parkverbot.
(Repeat)

green, you could put a car crash sound at the end

BTW - auf Deutsch hört es sich viel besser an, catchy lines

Hubrid - thanks for your input. This is a cool idea. I'll try to get some sample for that.

BTW: Does anyone know a free sample source at the internet. Those sampling CDs are sometimes far to bad value for the money they cost.

but those sounds have copyright issues.

Well, they might have, it's hard to say for sure!

FindSounds says: "The sounds in these audio files may be copyrighted and their use governed by national and international copyright laws. We do not offer advice on the fair use of these files."

I did a search for "crash" and then hunted down one or two of the links and found that in one case, it was a completely free-to-use file and in the other case, the site I went to had the following to say: "For copyright purposes you should contact their respective owners by checking the properties section of each file where applicable".

I think that if you were considering any kind of commercial use of any sounds found in this way it'd be best to find out what copyright restrictions may apply. By merely listening to them you've already effectively copied the file(s) anyway!
