A bout of fun, indeed! I love all the vocal layers… especially your low one… so cool (I’m a bit jealous of cool low male voices… just love it!) Your vocal delivery works very well… I like how it plays with the uke. And the words are great fun! Just the kind of thing I dig… In fact, your lyrics and voice on this makes me happy I didn’t write words for it myself! :D Thanks for using the samples. I’ll be revisiting this for sure.

Thanks Kara, I’m really glad you like it. I can’t seem to stop listening to it, makes me laugh every time.

I’ve been watching/listening to Flight Of The Conchords lately. I think that may have influenced this. Here’s a link to a video in case you’re not familiar.

Yes, it’s very smile-inducing!

And yes! Flight Of The Conchords is one of my favs… and that particular number- adore it. I can hear the influence here. Cool, cool. Are you familiar with Jim Gaffigan’s stand up? Pretty enjoyable.

That’s my favorite Conchords episode so far.

Thanks for the Gaffigan link. He is funny. And sure has a lot to say about cake.

Must admit I haven’t heard much from the Music & Identity project but I suspect you’re revealing much more about yourself here than most people did in that project which is very nice as one gets to know you a little bit better.
And it’s quite inspirational. Had I the time, I would love to do something similar.

Well, as I noted in the description, it’s fiction. Pretty much every line is decidedly not self-descriptive. A song about being so very normal/happy that there’s just nothing at all to complain/write a song about. I had to record several do-overs because I couldn’t stop laughing. Which I guess does say something about me.

Oops, I didn’t read the fiction bit. Relieved. You seemed too perfect and a bit too nonreflective. I’m not 100% comfortable with people that haven’t been in therapy uknow.

Ditto timberman’s comment and lovin’ it. Though I’m sure the protagonist is entirely fictional….

Excellent remix! I was glad to see in the liner notes that it was pure fiction right away and I did chuckle most of the way through. It was like a Seinfeld episode actually. Nicely done! I have to put this in my phone.

Brilliant! And I absolutely adore your vocals (especially the low voice).

You’re always full of intelligent surprises dear Speck. Absolutely delightful (and hopefully not entirely fictional…)
