Earwigism

I realised that I had quite a lot of silly songs! So I gathered some from the last few years into a playlist : )

Lighter songs - Or - Songs with humorous intent

Grumpy and proud of it : )
Including my first snoring solo. My first conscious snoring solo that is.
 
Has the whole world gone stupid
Is no one thinking any more
And why is everyone acting as if they were 4



It doesn't make much sense now
Maybe it didn't before
We're  all perpetual children now
Having tantrums on the floor

Grumpy old man


40 winks.........


You tell me I should cheer up
But I think, well what for?
We don't all need inane grins
Plastered across our jaws

Life is a serious business
Thinking is not a flaw
The trivia merchants would have us believe
That that's what we're here for

Grumpy Old Man

This is the second song posted from the album Bitzone, Stricknice, Wou-Wou & the Wormling, and I have been working on together with a number of other friends on SoundCloud. The first song shared was the late 80s indie American underground inspired song, Ghosting Out, that include Bonetender joining with his transistor organ and guitar. The Show / The Shrike Pt. 3 is one of the 4 songs on the album inspired by Wou-Wou & the Wormling’s graphic novel, the Shrike, which inspired this project. 

Massive thanks to Carlos Vivanco and Belial Pelegrim for joining us on this track. This is the 2nd song Belial has joined me on and the first song I have had the privilege of working with Carlos on. It is amazing to have them both on the same track together. I feel so lucky to get to work with all my favorite musicians.

Lyrics:
Slowly the room will fill with smoke 
Mirrors help occupy the hoax 
Laughing when no one gets the joke
Millions waiting for the quote
Tell me what would you do for fame
How do you plan to win the game
Can you fit in the mould they make
If I asked would you scream my name
For the show

Simon says I will take the lead
Stick with me and you will succeed 
Come and get it come and chase this dream
All you need is a sob story
Like a moth to a flame so bright
Your a slave to the stark spotlight
Cheshire cat with her teeth so white
Tune in and see it all tonight
In the show

In the show

Later that evening as smoke from the chimney was pelted by the rain
Slain and dismembered my head fully severed and mounted and displayed 
It’s hard to explain I’m awake with no pain and hallowed out in the brain
I wouldn’t complain, a life that’s mundane, is all I could hope to attain
except i was detained by bird with a man and this is what he was saying  

Are you having me on?

In the show

You are out all day and this sorry excuse is all that you bring back?
This second rate stag you decided to bag isn’t worthy of a plaque 
Did I make my self clear I can’t tell from your sneer are we still on same track
Our collection is nearly complete I conceit but there is only one thing that we lack

One human head 
One human head
Don’t disappoint me now
In the show
You’re a freak, an animal and most importantly a killer
You’re a freak, an animal and most importantly a killer
A killer
A killer
A killer

The Show / The Shrike Pt. 3

Carlos Vivanco, Belial Pelegrim, Stricknice, Bitzone, Wou-Wou & Couch - The Show / The Shrike Pt. 3

I've been away for a while.  Restaurant business has been very demanding lately.   Thought I'd come back with a remix of one of my absolute favorites of the old school blues men, Bukka White.  He recorded this track back in the 30's!  Amazing that something recorded so long ago still moves me in this day and age.  Bukka had this very percussive, tribal way of playing that was incomparable, and the timbre of his voice conveyed so much emotion.  Still gives me goosebumps every time I hear him.  Hope I've honored his legacy with my remix, and I hope you enjoy it.  I'll be visiting your pages soon to hear what you've all been up to.  Cheers, Joe

If they can't sell us one thing, they will sell us another. Ahhhhhh.........

Soda Stream

Policewoman Pat wore a black and white hat
That framed her soft curls so delightfully
Though she was just 5ft 1, she could restrain anyone
But she kept law and order non violently

When out on her beat, she was so light on her feet
The crooks gazed admiringly
She said who needs a gun, if you can charm anyone
So put up your hands and come quietly

just about then, there was a hardcase called Len
Who had evil plans for the bank in town
He thought he was tough, all his colleagues were rough
He said that she could just come and Pat him down

Though he was after the gold, his heart wasn’t cold
And strange passions lurked within his chest
When he looked at our Pat, his resistance fell flat
He knew that he was under cardiac arrest

Len was sent to the nick and the time passed quite quick
He asked Pat, will you please just wait for me
Now Len’s a good man and Pat she’s a gran
And they spend all their time with their family

Policewoman Pat

Vaccine Nation (Give me a shot)

Give me a shot of that!
Give you a shot of what?
Give me a shot of the real stuff
Before my fevers caught!

Have your fingers gone all boogly?
Is there something you forgot?
We all need a shot of the golden juice
Before we're an afterthought.

Do you mean a vaccination?
Can you get one? I cannot!
Where's a doctor when you need one?
There's no need to get distraught.

Just join the queue with me son,
That angel over there,
Will stick a needle in you arm,
So calm down, don't despair

So give me a shot of that!
Give you a shot of what?
Give me a shot of the golden stuff
In my jugglier jackpot!

Vaccine Nation (Give Me A Shot) With Georg Boehme and Jamie Rhind

All music, songs, lyrics and artwork are original, unless noted. No AI used, I have spent a lifetime learning.
Collaborations welcome.
 I advise playing on a good Hi-Fi or at least good headphones, otherwise you will miss all the lower frequencies and  only hear half of the music : )
