Songs from Clarence - Season 1

cartoon network part 2

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]

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 :)

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

Too Cool [From Clarence on Cartoon Network]

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!
