Repete and Fade
Also heres a riff played throughout the entire song with a few pauses.
See this? This is my boom stick! The 12-gauge double-barreled Remington. S-Mart's top of
the line. You can find this in the sporting goods department. That's right, this sweet
baby was made in Grand Rapids, Michigan. Retails for about $109.95. It's got a walnut
stock, cobalt blue steel, and a hair trigger. That's right. Shop smart. Shop S-Mart.
You got that?
