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

Songs From Clarence - Season 3

my calm brain

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!

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.

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

Warm Apple Night by Joe Pera

From Big Trouble Little Aberdale. The gang have fun with their new friend, but she has too much sugar and friggin' loses it. Vocals by Lori Campbell.

Lyrics:

People think I’m kinda weird coz I’m at a different school
But if they just got to know me they would see I’m pretty cool

I may seem kinda nervous but look beneath the surface and you’ll see

I just wanna have some fun
I know I’m not the only one who feels the same
Coz when I’m hanging with my friends
I just wanna go again and again
and again and again

When I get home

Slip on sum’m soft fo my feet on the floor

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!
