MP3 Demo Here (1.5mb)
So, I guess this is my answer to Hopper's "the end" challenge... arguably, "All My Sins" (song #12) could qualify, but (1) it used recycled music, so now I've written 14 complete songs, (2) my friends Mark and Laura gave me their old beat-up casio keyboard and I was dying to experiment with, and (3) after that trilogy yesterday, I needed to write something goofy. I think we can all relate to this kind of "ending."
It's Over
lyrics/music by Burr Settles
that movie was the worst thing i've ever seen
the way the spaceships flew, you could see the strings
whoever said that martians speak with a French accent?
i cannot express my utter discontent
i'm glad that's over, just roll the credits
i'm glad that's over, just roll the credits
if you liked it, you'd best not admit it
i'm glad that's over, just roll the credits

apologies for the TERRIBLE hunt-n-peck style keyboard playing... i was mostly just goofing off. ;)

Burr, I just started listening to the stuff on FAWM... been too busy just keeping the kittens out of Eric's way... Anyway, I really like this song. Too fun.
By the way, I am also fond of Uff Da! Wisconsin (for someone who doesn't really drink much, I seem to really like drinking songs--have you heard Great Big Sea's "The Night That Patty Murphy Died"), and Captain Anagram. Too funny! (I don't seem to have the option to add comments to any of those songs anymore.)
Love the keyboard on this tune--very appropriate to the subject matter here. (=

yeah. the cheesy keyboard is masterfully done. a good one to end with after the trilogy.

yeah. the comment cutoff. hopper managed to add a comment to a really old item, but i can't seem to do it...
