Unstuff your heart, pack light, let's go
Camping with Chet Lam!
Finally got my copy of Chet's latest English album. I love the cover! Pink fatigues. So gay!
The album is typically Chet. The strums of the acoustic guitar, a clear and mellow voice, and simple music rearrangements. You really feel like you're sitting around a campfire with Chet and his guitar, the fire crackling to the beat of his strums.
In some ways, it's rather refreshing to hear pop melodies transformed into simple acoustic pieces.
In some ways, the album is rather campy.
In some ways, the campiness is rather appealing.
Chet in no way hides his sexual preference here. It's pretty evident in some of the modified lyrics. I guess that's what makes it doubly appealing. He has absolutely no qualms being who he is. He's comfortable with himself, which in turn, makes you comfortable with him.
Camping comes across as very personable. You'll feel like Chet's a friend and he's really singing to you.
Oh. And the little details in the credits, albeit a little corny, add to the personable-ness of the album too. You get a taste of Chet's gaiety and sense of 'humour' here. Stuff like:
All Vocals in the name of Fraternity and Sisterhood for You Can't Hurry Love
The I-Really-Can't-Dance Vocals for Dancing Queen
The Trying-to-be-Cool Vocals for The Boy from Ipanema
The Sensitive Vocal for When He Sings
The Need-Another-Shot Vocals for Crazy 4U
The I'm-So-Ready Vocals for Let's Go Camping
The Trying-to-Hide Vocals for A Waltz for a Night
The Money-Boy-Wannabe Vocals for Rent
The Learn-It-The-Hard-Way Vocals for You've Got to Learn
The It's-Okay Vocals for Cool
The Shiny Vocals for Eternal Flame
The Take-It-Easy Vocals for Happy Ending
Doesn't it just make you want to be his friend?
Chicken Soup for the Soul. I think if this book was music, Camping would be what it would sound like.

Oh gawd.
I was just going through the lyrics for 'Let's Go Camping'.
Chet is a naughty, naughty boy. Hahaha. I so love it!
Let's Go Camping
Be a good boy for a whole week
Stuck in the car, sardined on the streets
Summer's here, bodies in heat
You know what I mean
Pack some hot dogs, we need some meat
To do the hard work, to make us complete
Summer's here, everything's in heat
Let's give us a treat
It's time for me to have some fun
Just some casual fun
Don't have to ask no one
It's time for you to have some fun
It's going to be a blast
Don't be shy, just...come
Let's get started, hop off the truck
Pitch a tent, unload some stuff
The flap is down, just the two of us...
Let's keep out the bugs
Naughty, naughty.
Gawd. Makes me love him more! Hahaha. (Sorry babe. Not 'stealing' him from you. It's a different sort of love from yours. hahaha.)
