Flying a Kite

I wanted to write a song about what it's like being a person who feels compelled to please everyone everywhere all the time. I got the vibe going with this instrumental. Might add lyrics and vocals someday.

A new theme song I wrote for Robot or Not, one of my favourite podcasts. This is the second theme I've submitted to the show. My first theme was back in 2016, and was featured on episode 26 "Cylons".

Magic (May 8 2024)

My theme song for the podcast Robot or Not, which appeared on episode 26: Cylons. 

Lyrics
-------
well we’ve mulled over Darth Vader
and the cars of Hasselhoff
the NCC-1701 D, Siri and Hitchbot
the ghost in the shell
and a toaster in hell
so tell us John
is it a robot
or not?

Robot or Not theme

A musical letter to the Flop House regarding the most recent episode.

Lyrics: 
I’ve listened for a long time
but this is my first time
writing a letter to the peaches

if elliot thinks Jem would work
as a straight up musical
here’s what I would like to know

what films would you like to see adapted 
to the musical format?
I would like to see A Talking Cat!?!
break out into song
and help his friends along
with some advice and a sweet little melody

so please excuse if this was verbose
my rhymes will never be as dope
as elliot’s, and that’s a fact. jack. 

that’s how it works
when the peaches lay down the funky funk
that’s how it works
when you’re making it up as you go along

that’s how it works

and by the way my name is 
doug
last name withheld
