A bunch of music and songs I made for Cartoon Network's 'The Fungies'. This is all from season 1.

The director Stephen P. Neary and I decided on the musical world being full of warm analogue synths that sound like they're recorded to warped VHS tapes, with lots of parodies of 80s songs to create an overall feeling of nostalgia for the kind of TV Stephen enjoyed watching as a kid :)

Songs and backing music I wrote for Season 3 of Clarence. Also includes some exciting bonus tracks!

I worked on Clarence for the best part of 5 years, and it was an amazing treat to work on the show - I got so many varied genres and subjects to explore and it was just incredible fun. I LOVE CLARENCE! Big love to all the people who worked on the show, and all fans of Clarence everywhere xxx

A song I wrote for Cartoon Network's Clarence for a bit where Clarence tries to talk a mountain lion down from a tree. Pastiche of Always by Erasure.

Lyrics:

In our hearts we are one
We are lion
Like a mountain hides the sun
Your feelings are hiding

Leave your tree
Come with me
And let the raccoons go free 

I'm your lion heart
You're my mountain top
Together we're a liony liony mountain 

Liony Liony Mountain [from Clarence - Cartoon Network]

This is a song I made for Clarence on Cartoon Network for the "Slumber Party" episode, specifically scenes where Sumo and Jeff are hanging out in Jeff's bedroom. The directors thought Jeff probably listens to music like Radiohead, so I made a parody with lyrics about the troubles of being super smart...

I feel as though I'm sad although emotions are dumb
Sick of being smarter than everyone
I'm depressed, I pass every test
I'm a genius I guess
But I'm lonely, nobody can know me
I'm trapped at the top of my towering intellect

Oh no no no no no no no no no no no no

Towering Intellect [From Clarence - Cartoon Network]

I made this parody of the Beach Boy's California girls for the "Zoo" episode of Clarence. Clarence is awesome, check it out on Cartoon Network!

California [Made for Cartoon Network's Clarence]

Made for the episode Lizard Day Afternoon. A pastiche of Blister In The Sun by Violent Femmes.

Lyrics:

I wanna run around
Like a lizard in the sunshine
I wanna run around
Thick tail I'll hold you for fun

Lizard In The Sunshine [from Clarence - Cartoon Network]

I made this track as part of my pitch to work on the show and it was one of the reasons I got the job! I like this song a lot :)

WATCH CLARENCE ON CARTOON NETWORK IT'S THE BEST!

Lyrics:

Under the blindfold eyes won't peep
Do it right, tie it tight, don't cheat
Now spin around, head pinned to the ground
By the bat, that's the action, making a sound like

Whooaoaooaao - get dizzy
Stand back, lift bat, get busy
With a little flick of the wrist, give it a swish
Don't miss, try to hit it into little bits
and pieces to release the sweetest candy
Or otherwise some other surprise it can be
Any thing the pinata master fancies
A risky mystery but take the chance please

Hit the piñata
Hit the piñata
Sa…sawing batta
Hit the piñata
Ya, ya, ya gotta
Hit the piñata
Hit the thing harder
Hit the piñata!

Made out of paper, break the shape of
A donkey, you won't be seeing it later
Coz once you attack it, make the bat smack it
Maybe you'll smash it into smithereens
So streams of sweet treats careen to the carpet
The tricky task is to swing a stick in the darkness
But try your hardest, and tense your back
Until you strike the target, and make… it… crack

Hit the piñata
Hit the piñata
Sa…sawing batta
Hit the piñata
Ya, ya, ya gotta
Hit the piñata
Hit the thing harder
Hit the piñata!

Hit The Piñata [from Clarence on Cartoon Network]

This is from the Bedside Manners episode in season one and is another track that Jeff listens to in his bedroom. We thought he'd probably be into The Smiths so I made a pastiche of This Charming Man. In the scene Jeff is building an Eiffel Tower out of spaghetti so I wrote some pompous lyrics about yearning for more culture in a land of dumbness.

Lyrics:

A simulation of a landmark
Couldn’t save me from the State I’m in
The cobbler stole my wishing heels for paddling
Longing for a cultural exchange
To leave this diatribe against my brain 

It’s such a shame

But then again
The only Atlas here is me
Supporting architecture though it’s rickety 
Inevitably tumbling down

WATCH CLARENCE ON CARTOON NETWORK IT'S THE BEST!

From the episode 'Honk' where Clarence brings a honky horn into school. Everyone gets so annoyed that they all bring their own horns in. Chaos ensues and culminates in this bike horn symphony! This was the first piece I was properly hired to write for the show. Here's the clip (I think! I can't watch it in UK) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUiZN758-sU

This is the music for the advert of Clarence's favourite toy Lil Buddy. It turns into a pretty dark episode so it's appropriate that this song haunts my dreams.

Lil Buddy [For Cartoon Network's Clarence]

This was for the episode 'Detention' where the detention room turns into a super cool club where all the VIK's hang out (Very Important Kids). This is the music playing in the background of the 'club'. WATCH CLARENCE ON CARTOON NETWORK IT'S THE BEST.

This is from the episode Clarence's Millions in a montage where Clarence ups production of his money. I took inspiration from these amazing business funk mixes! http://datassette.net/businessfunk/

Millions Money Montage [For Cartoon Network's Clarence]

This is from a scene in 'Nothing Ventured' where Clarence and Sumo are sneaking around at night putting cockroaches in everyone's houses like naughty little fairies. I had a lot of fun doing a weird upbeat remix of Dance of the Sugarplum Fairy!

Dance of the Cockroach Fairy [For Cartoon Network's Clarence]

From 'The Break Up' montage where Clarence has to hang out with Sumo and Jeff separately because they've fallen out. He finds his energy soon runs low as he has to divide it between them. This song is an homage to Labi Siffre's 'Too Late' - an amazing song, check it out!

Lyrics:

I know you really like arithmetic
But now we’re just divided
You’re never adding any more you just take away
You used to shell out the fun for me
But now I’m less excited
Because my energy is focussing two ways

I’m split between you like the peel of a banana
I’m slippin', slippin' away
Tear me in two till you can’t tear me any farther
Why don’t you throw me away

Split Between You [For Cartoon Network's Clarence]

From Clarence episode "In Dreams" - Clarence visits a land of fish flying out of butts, this is the music playing there!

Hot Sauce [For Cartoon Network's Clarence]

From 'Ren Faire' - the trio embark on a quest in a medieval village. I did not write the lyrics to this song! Vitaliy Strokous and Nicole Ridgwell did.

Three Brave Friends
A minstrel, and a monster, and a boy with a purse
Three Brave Friends
Questing to rid the White Knight of his curse
They’ll search for the dragon heart far and wide
Working together, side by side
Their hearts are true
They’ll find their luck
And never, never, never give up
Three Brave Friends
Three Brave Friends

Three Brave Friends [For Cartoon Network's Clarence]

From 'Freedom Cactus' - Clarence has a runaway hit with his comic strip featuring a farting cactus. This is the music to the montage of his success. Reference track was Ain't That Peculiar by Marvin Gaye.

DIY [For Cartoon Network's Clarence]

From the episode 'Belson's Backpack'. This plays during a montage where Belson is drawing dolphin comic strips for Clarence and struggling with creative fatigue.

It's a pastiche of Paul Simon's 'Crazy Love Vol. II'

LYRICS:

Not even Davey Jones’s locker would hold him back
From the waves of expression flowing forth
But getting blurrier the deeper and deeper he sank

Oooh

He’s searching in the deep
Searching in the deep
And he don’t know, no he don’t know what’s next
He’s searching in the deep
Searching in the deep

Do What You Wanna Do [Temp Vocals] [For Clarence - Cartoon Network]

From Clarence Loves Shoopy. Parody of Eazy-E - Real Muthaphuckkin G's.

Lyrics:

When I get home
I take off my shoes and you hear me moan
It’s straight up relief coz I feel so sore
Slip on sum’m soft fo my feet on the floor
It’s my slippers, snuggly
Jimmie jams next
Cookin on the stove is a hot chocolate

Hit The Piñata - Extended Version [For Clarence - Cartoon Network]

Unreleased extended version of the main theme from Clarence!

I got my nieces to perform the verses, I guess they were about 6 and 9 when we recorded this. The yelling in the chorus was the kids in their school!

Lyrics:

Coz I'm the king of the world
I'm the king of the world

I'm gonna shout right now
Yeah
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8

Don't walk
Just run
No-one can stop us trying to have some fun
I wanna dance
I wanna jump
I wanna eat candy for lunch
Let's draw
And rip
Play ball
Let's kick
Let's leap
And splash
And sneak
And smash
Play rough
Stay tough
A day ain't enough
Pick some sticks, let's hit some stuff

I don't care what you say
I'm gonna do what I want all day
Coz I'm the king of the world
I'm the king of the world
I'm the king of the world
I'm the king of the world

Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!

 don't care what you say
I'm gonna do what I want all day
Coz I'm the king of the world
I'm the king of the world
I'm the king of the world
I'm the king of the world

I don't care what you say
I'm gonna shout every day!
