Wow, that's really good! Cute song, nice pop hit-song style production.
The singing reminds me of "Cool for Cats" by Squeeze.
The bouzoki is excellent and fits perfectly.
That drum machine is hilarious. That's one snappy Alesis D-4 1980's snare you got going on, and a 90's-style techno kick drum. Were those done in Hydrogen?
Very well-recorded. The whole thing is catchy. I think you have a hit. Might want to put that up on iTunes, I bet it'll sell.
