Here in yo'
ear.
--mp3s to make you cringe--
With the exception of the first mp3, these are all little ditties I recorded a few years ago on Windows' ultra-lo-fi sound recorder, mostly just to amuse myself in college.
1. My
country song:
What: Recorded in a studio with my
band as a secret track. Me on guitar and vocals, Brandon Bergman on drums and
backup vocals, Isaac Lekach on backup vocals.
Why: Because songs about
incest are funny.
Length: Maybe two minutes or so.
2. The
ingredients to Goldfish crackers:
What: Like it says, the ingredients of Pepridge
Farm's Goldfish crackers, set to music.
Why: Because you should know
what you're eating, and i couldn't think of lyrics at the
time.
Length: Half a minute, maybe.
3. Oops... I did
it again:
What: A jazzy cover of the Britney
Spears "classic"
Why: Because even a bad song can be a good song... or
something. Maybe not. You have your own opinion.
Length: Fifty-nine
seconds.
4. I saw a
fly buzz when I died, Gilligan!:
What: Emily
Dickenson's poem, "I saw a fly buzz when i died," sung to the theme of
Gilligan's Island, sort of.
Why: Because every Emily Dickenson poem
can be sung to the theme of Gilligan's Island.
Length: Half a minute,
maybe.
5. A
really very lovely true story:
What: A legitimately true story about a boy and a
girl, in song form
Why: Because it's just such a crazy story that it
should be told over and over again, in as many formats as
possible
Length: About 3.5 minutes
6. Reverse
joke:
What: An age-old joke spoken backwards and
then played backwards, so that hypothetically it should sound as
if someone is speaking normally. It didn't exactly turn out that way, but take a
listen and try to figure out what the joke is. (If you're stumped, highlight the
next sentence with your mouse: "A man walked into a bar...
ouch! Ba-dum-bum-tsss.")
Why: Have you ever tried this? It's
not very easy.
Length: Ten seconds, at most.
