Since the early 90's Ron has released over 200 songs through solo CDs and DVDs, and digital releases. He's had numerous appearances on compilation CDs and as a guest performer for other artists, appeared on magazine covers, and as a soloist toured internationally headlining venues and guitar festivals. In 2008 Ron released the "Abnormal" album, described as "Sex Pistols meets Queen, with innovative guitar and a quirky Zappa-esque twist..." In 2011 he released a song a month that included transcriptions, alternate mixes and recording stems, as an innovative way to release singles.
As a child, Ron would play Bach pieces with his feet. Today, his guitar-work can be heard on Guns N' Roses' Chinese Democracy album, the theme of VH1's "That Metal Show", the Latin acoustic guitar on Jessica Simpson's "Irresistible" dance mix, and CNN-Turkey station IDs to name a few. Live, he's just as diverse, whether touring the world with GNR or at local fundraisers (notably performing with Nancy Sinatra, Cyndi Lauper, composer Fahir Atakoglu, and jazz legend Allen Toussaint.)
A record producer and songwriter for artists and publishing companies often working out of his own studio in Princeton NJ, Ron has written theme songs and background music for shows that include So You Think You Can Dance, Oprah Winfrey, Tom Brokaw, Anthony Bourdan, MTV, VH1, MuchMusic, FuseTV, CW, SpikeTV, Oxygen, E!, A&E, ESPN, UFC, WWE, NFL, MLB, NBC, PBS, and SEGA, SSI and Atari videogames.
Ron is a Professor at SUNY Purchase College teaching music production, does guitar clinics around the world, and writes articles for music magazines. He is a volunteer for many charities such as Musicians On Call visiting sick children in hospitals and the MS Research Foundation, a non-profit organization that donates funds directly to Multiple Sclerosis research.
Girl Like You
Bumblefoot Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I think of how much we've grown (apart)
Of all the things we've gone through (my money)
You know how I feel about you (bitch)
I need you (gone)
Deep in my heart (like an injection of porkfat)
All that I have (you take)
Oh, what have I done
(What did I do)
To deserve a girl
Like you, like you
Oh, to deserve a girl
Like you, like you
I tore myself in two
I want you (out)
My whole world (sucks)
Is about you (getting free lunch)
Without you (screwin' thing up)
There's nothing (but pleasure)
For me (you swine)
Oh, what have I done
(What did I do)
To deserve a girl
Like you, like you
Oh, to deserve a girl
Like you, like you
I tore myself in two
I love you (bitch)
More than you'll ever know (bitch)
I wish I could show you (bitch)
How much you mean to me (B-B-B-Bumblefoot)
Oh, what have I done
(What did I do)
To deserve a girl
Like you, like you
Oh, to deserve a girl
Like you, like you
I tore myself in two
(oh, baby... you know... ya know...
Ya know I just can't live without you...
I LOVE YOU!!! I'll kill you...)
Like a dream come true (a nightmare)
It's all about you (Satan)
The lyrics to Bumblefoot's "Girl Like You" expresses a conflicted and volatile relationship with a woman who has caused the singer both pain and pleasure. In the opening stanza, the singer reflects on the growth of their relationship, but notes that they have grown apart. While the singer acknowledges the things they have gone through, such as losing money, they also call the woman a "bitch," suggesting a contentious relationship. The second stanza continues with the singer acknowledging his dependence on the woman, likening her to an injection of pork fat. The singer feels as though the woman has taken all that he has, and chewed it up and spit it out. The third stanza contains the repetition of the question, "What have I done to deserve a girl like you?" The singer may realize that the woman is not treating him well but still feels an inexplicable need for her. The final stanza has a mix of both loving language and violent threats, indicating a complex and contradictory relationship dynamic. The lyrics are raw and brutally honest and depict the turbulent emotions of a relationship that is not fulfilling.
