Or "Bankelone", I can't decide. This song follows the pattern "my first name's ___ and my last name's ___" and is one of the few songs of this type that can be considered a complete song.

Pokerface #1

1 Oct 12th, 2019 26s

It's right there in the title. "Pokerface". Combining "poke" and "face ". This title has inspired a lot of random singing, as we will see throughout this season.

Birthday

Lennon/McCartney/Allenspach

Walk This Way

1 Sep 14th, 2019 14s

I was just struck by the two lines from Aerosmith's song, and wrote some more rhymes to go further.

Ugly in an Elevator

1 Sep 11th, 2019 9s

Welcome to the second season! This song was written about a minute before the recording, and was recorded in an actual elevator for verisimilitude.

If You're Blue

1 Aug 18th, 2019 6s

One of the many variations on the lyrics of "Puttin' on the Ritz"

Hamilton Mixtape Part 1

Aug 16th, 2019 11s

If you record this song onto a mixtape, it will officially become a Hamilton mixtape!

Skrooty Boot

Aug 12th, 2019 11s

This is the song that I sing most often.

We Are The World

Apr 25th, 2020 24s

Hey, happy Podapalooza! This episode comes out in the middle of the Coronavirus epidemic, in celebration of the virtual podcast festival Podapalooza. This my version of a charity single, and is a response to the odd fact that, after Band-Aid sa

Pokerface #4

Feb 20th, 2020 16s

Ha you thought I was done with the Pokerface and the thing and the hey hey.

Bread and Butter

Feb 19th, 2020 52s

I sincerely apologize for whatever you are about to hear. In my defense I can only say that I have to get this nonsense out of my head so that my wife doesn't hear it every day for the rest of our lives.

For Your Eyes Only

Feb 18th, 2020 1m 2s

I did a couple of new James Bond songs in the previous season, so here's another one! I can't imagine why I haven't been called by the James Bond people yet to sing a new theme for the next movie...

The Old Gray Mare

Feb 17th, 2020 14s

Three fourths of a classic public domain song!

Punch It

Feb 16th, 2020 9s

Hey this is one of those songs that appears to have no origins. So whatever.

Sugar Round

Feb 15th, 2020 11s

One of those melodies that I got from a dream. There have been a couple of these, which I will post in later seasons.

Southern Man

Feb 14th, 2020 12s

Recorded live on the campus of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois! Another use of the versatile "Spiderman" melody, this song is my tribute to the beautiful men and women of the great South. I think.

The Ronald Reagan Man

Feb 13th, 2020 47s

I think I dreamt this song, or it just came to me pretty quickly. I soon realized that it's a rewrite of the song "I've Been Everywhere" but by then it was far too late.

Wean My Baby off the Rock 'n' Play

Feb 12th, 2020 13s

Inspired by a Lifehacker article with the title "How to wean your baby off the Rock 'n' Play". Some songs just write themselves, you know?

I'm Gonna Make a Movie

Feb 11th, 2020 37s

Welcome to the 5th season! This song was, I guess, inspired by the song "Act Naturally" but who knows for sure.

Hamilton Mixtape Part 3

Jan 10th, 2020 1m 31s

Yes, this is the year of the Hamilton! To commemorate Mr Miranda's triumphant new movie, here's a remix of the Hamilton song with another "classic" Broadway song.

Sturdely Purt

Jan 8th, 2020 17s

Well, now this is just singing nonsense. Sometimes you just enjoy the sound of certain syllables and you have to celebrate them in a singing fashion.

Three Sausages

Jan 7th, 2020 18s

Yes, the melody is from the classic Dokken song "Dream Warriors". Who doesn't love a good Dokken reference?

Rehab

Jan 6th, 2020 1m 7s

Much love to the late great Amy Winehouse for the original concept. Can you imagine what the future would be like if she had actually gone to rehab?

Staycation

Jan 5th, 2020 21s

Why has no one ever written a song about the new trend of the staycation? Let me be the first to do so, and thereby dominate the field.

Call Me Maybe

Jan 4th, 2020 30s

This of course is inspired by the famous Taylor Swift song of a few years ago. The lines about bowling pins are the product of a common literary device that I use, which is to think of something completely random that doesn't relate to the song
