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.

Skyfall

Jan 9th, 2020 19s

Hey, a second James Bond theme! Yes, I might just be working my way through the entire film catalog. Or maybe not. Who's to say?

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

Ugly in an Elevator - remix

Jan 3rd, 2020 22s

Yaay, our first remix! This song originally premiered in season two and let me tell you it never really left my mind. So I hope you enjoy this re-imagining of the song.

Where'd you get that hat?

Jan 2nd, 2020 15s

One time my wife got on a bus, and a woman exclaimed, "Where'd you get that hat!" Of course my wife thought it was a legitimate question, and she told the woman where she got it. The woman replied, "No, it's just a saying, like 'Where'd you get

No Time to Die

Jan 1st, 2020 1m 14s

Welcome to the 4th season! To kick things off, here's the new theme song for the next James Bond film, due in 2027.

Frosty the Snowman

Dec 20th, 2019 37s

This song goes way back to my early years, when an aunt made us laugh by singing the first verse with Frosty having bowling pins instead of eyes. And there the joke ended, until I thought of adding more lyrics when I was in my teens. And that's

The Thanksgiving Song

Nov 25th, 2019 52s

Hello! While I'm still taking some time off, here's a song for Thanksgiving that came to mind when I was thinking about spelling the word "Thanksgiving" for some reason. Enjoy this, and keep your podcast apps open for a possible Christmas song

Pokerface #3

Oct 20th, 2019 7s

Is this the last song with this title? One can only hope. With that, that's a wrap on season 3. I'm taking the rest of the year off, because I've given you so much content already. Look for some holiday specials, and season 4 in January, if I c
