Some of my work for Cartoon Network's wonderful show Clarence.

Songs from Clarence - Season 1

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!

Dogmön [From Clarence on Cartoon Network]

From the bit in the Goose Chase episode where Clarence is hanging out with a bunch of birds that want his sandwich, then flies into the magical bird kingdom.

Cookery School [For Cartoon Network's Clarence]

From a montage in the Turtle Hats episode where both the kids and Ms Baker are trying to figure out what the heck a Turtle Hat is.

What Is A Turtle Hat [For Cartoon Network's Clarence]

I wrote this for an episode called 'Hoofin It' over scenes of a riot at a pig race. The director asked for a parody of 'Proud To Be An American' type patriotic songs, with a fast food / gluttonous bent poking fun at the mentality of the event in the show.

Ameri-Ham Dreams [For Cartoon Network's Clarence]

This piece was written for a scene where Sumo greases Clarence up when he's in disguise as a pig so he'll be harder to catch. The reference for this track was this track by Peter McConnell for Psychonauts https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fac3D4YFlv8 

Greasin Up [For Cartoon Network's Clarence]

This is the theme from a digital short about a cat called Beauford T Pusser. I also did all the sound effects for this episode with my mouth! http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/video/clarence/beauford-t-pusser-episode.html

The inspiration for the sound effects and style of the short was a short called Every Child, and the inspiration for the music was the theme from Roobarb and Custard https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zedq1VhaS90

Beauford T Pusser Theme

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 Sumo Goes West. Sumo has to move to a different school and Clarence is sad. This song gives me feels now that Clarence is over :(

Lyrics:

I’ll be there no matter when
Just hold on to me and then
We can ride together and
I just hope that we’ll always be friends
I just hope that we’ll always be friends

Things are fine now you’re not here
I’m still smiling, full of cheer
I'll reach out to others near
They're not the same but it’s ok

I joke and hope it might
Be the kind of thing you'd like
If it’s not then that’s all right
I just hope that we’ll always be friends
I just hope that we’ll always be friends
