"Nightmare Ned" was a PC game from about 1997 by Disney Interactive. I was hired to write songs for it, and it was a really fun project. I wrote 5 songs, 4 of which were included in the game. I am not singing on any of these recordings.

Written for Disney Interactive's video game "Nightmare Ned", which still remains the most fun I've ever had writing music. The scene was the inside of someone's mouth, which looked like a seedy lounge, and the uvula was the lounge singer. I actually got paid for this song, and the singer is someone we hired who auditioned for us by singing "I Feel Pretty".

The video from the game itself for the song can be found at the 5:08 mark here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dkWZbgsu6n4

(I Ain't Your Baby) I'm Your Uvula

Another song from Disney Interactive's video game "Nigtmare Ned". The scene was a string of bathtubs hung in a long row, and Ned needed to jump across all of them. In pipes above his head, rats were throwing electric things into the tubs to try and electrocute him. It was great fun. What songwriter wouldn't love to get an assignment like that?

I have been writing music for over 30 years. Much of it was written using the moniker Jim of Seattle, which you can search on. 
1980-82 - Wrote songs for voice and piano, recorded on portable cassette player for friends to hear. My most popular of those songs is posted here on SoundCloud.
1983-1986 - Wrote comic book operas which I am still pretty proud of, (also lots of terrible modern stuff for college assignments)
1987-2002 - Wrote almost exclusively for musical theatre
2003-2008 - Wrote songs for the absolutely wonderful online community Song Fight (<a href="http://www.songfight.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">www.songfight.org</a>)
2009-present - Finding my way again, a smattering of my own projects, a little more Song Fight, some film scores, who knows
