about

Here’s a little ditty I wrote called the “Dating App Algorithm Blues.” A song about endlessly swiping and constantly griping about the online dating world. Neat-o! An algorithm that feeds you a never-ending string of shitty pick-up lines, zodiac signs, and pretty girls who’ve never heard of John Prine. A twenty-first century man ain’t got many other options! So, if you’ve ever gotten them “Dating App Algorithm Blues”, give it a listen!

lyrics

How many trips around the sun
Until I finally find the one
The one that’ll make me an honest man of me
A girl that’ll stick beside me
As if she was made of glue
Instead I’m stuck here with these
Dating app algorithm blues

Yeah there’s an app inside my phone
Shows me who I could bone
A thousand women in the palm of my hand
Countless names and countless faces
I wish I only knew
How to sift through all these
Dating app algorithm blues

You see,
Shelby she’s a teacher
Rachel’s quite a creature
Christina’s never heard of John Prine
Well there are matches made in Heaven
But they’re far between and few
Lost inside these
Dating app algorithm blues

Swiping left and swiping right
I don’t wanna swipe all night
Waiting for the woman of my dreams
All my friends are getting hitched
I’m afraid of getting bait ’n switched
By a pretty girl behind my phone screen

[yodel]

Plenty fish out in the sea
But that’s the problem, don’t you see?
Surely there is more than what meets the eye
Cause there are people behind the pictures
But I haven’t got a clue
How to look past all these
Dating App algorithm blues

Now I’m sat down at a bar
Feeling distant, feeling far
When an angel came and sat by my side
Well she looked me and asked me,
She said “How do you do?”
Oh honey
Please save me from these
Dating app algorithm blues
