Comedian Jack McBrayer of "30 Rock" joins us to write a ridiculous song at Disney Studios.

Irving's Camp Song sung by Jack McBrayer

I wrote a ridiculous story for a Disney series w a running gag where the characters experimented playing different sports in pyramid formation. Rob Hughes and I wrote and recorded this rough demo for the song sequence. Dan and Swampy added a couple fun ideas for the final broadcast version.

Pyramid Sports - rough demo

Here's a strange instrumental demo of a song I began for the "Phineas & Ferb" episode "The Chronicles of Meap." It was originally intended for the sequence when Candace chases after her brothers in the poached alien creature enclosure on Mitch's spaceship. It's a very long hypnotic loop on which I started to develop a sort of talking verse with a melodic chorus, but the tone ended up not feeling right, so it was left unfinished as this weird, kind cool 6 1/2 minute trance.
