I
01:52
|
|||
I am not self-centered. I have no ego. I don't feel so great about myself that all I will talk about is me. I don't feel like I have to do a full song with facts about myself. I do not need to go into extensive detail about my thoughts and feelings. I can let other people get attention. I don't need to start every sentence with I. I am all about others. I do not think about myself too often. I am trying to make my concern for others clear in this song. I am not a selfish little prick. I do not consider myself above all other human beings. I think doing a song all about myself is pointless. I will not do a song about myself therefore. I will not be the center of attention. I don't need everyone paying attention to me. I think there are better things to pay attention to. I don't consider myself worth rambling on and on about 24/7. I don't have the head big enough to want to do so. I acknowledge the fact that there are other people out there. I am equally as human as you. I am equally as important as you. I think you should get your views expressed. I should probably shut up now.

Ghost Story
01:08
|
|||
Gather 'round, ghosts. I have a scary human story to tell you. Once upon a time, there was this nerdy kid from a town called Westerville. He liked to record goofy songs in his spare time. The ghosts in ghost land never worried about this; they enjoyed what he put out. But then, one day, he took one of the greatest spooky songs ever written, and he turned it into... A MOCKERY!
*NOOOOOOOOOOOOO*
You think that's scary? Listen to this... I HAVE THE RECORDING RIGHT HERE!
*evil laughter*

Twitter
04:57
|
|||
It's been almost an hour since I last updated all my friends.
Dig out my phone, 'cause they all wanna know where I've been.
'Cause everybody wants to know my life like they know their own.
So I upload all the boring, mundane details of my life,
So they can spy!
'Cause this is Twitter, it runs my life
'Cause somehow I've forgotten the proper way to socialize
It's all on Twitter, my whole day
Since I got involved, my days have been thinner, they're Twittered away!
My followers wonder what are you doing, and I'll respond.
I'll share with you nearly everything openly! (All about me)
This is what you will see!
At 8:35, I'm sitting in a chair eating fries.
Then at 10 'til 9, I'm walking the dog, and I realized
I never should've worn those hydrant patterened boxers; use your imagination
At 10:33, my laundry's in the washer, and so am I
'Cause it saves time!
And it's on my Twitter, I'm here because
There's no going back to the respectable human that I was
I'm glued to Twitter, 80 tweets a day
Since I got involved, my days have been...
gettin' thinner, and littered, they're Twittered away!
(random fake tweets at the end)

I think Courage the Cowardly Dog is a pretty cool guy, is a pretty cool guy
I think Courage the Cowardly Dog is a pretty cool guy, is a pretty cool guy
Eh fears everything and doesn't afraid, doesn't afraid of anything

Ap-ray
02:39
|
|||
It is easy to rap in Pig Latin
Every word always rhymes, it just naturally works
There is practically no work to be done
I can say whatever, and it still works
No human can comprehend what I am blabbering
A personal secret code, also fun to speak
I am not restricted to Standard Written English,
My mind is free, just like a butterfly
While it all might be fun to say
It can get rather monotonous after a while
So before my listeners all go completely crazy
I will stop here, before it gets stupid

Tomato Face
03:13
|
|||
My face is the color of bologna.
Under normal circumstances that's easy to see,
But if ever a girl starts to flirt with me,
It's suddenly...
Tomato Face, Tomato Face,
Though I come across as timid,
Deep inside, I quite enjoy it,
I cannot set a limit.
Return to my peach-colored face
Is likely ten minutes away,
'Cause I'm bashfully expressing my shock
In the most adorkable way.
Cute, positive comments towards me
Have given the ladies that said them a usable discovery,
I know I shouldn't take them too seriously,
But there I be...
Tomato Face, Tomato Face,
Though I come across as timid,
Deep inside, I quite enjoy it,
I cannot set a limit.
Return to my peach-colored face
Is likely ten minutes away,
'Cause I'm bashfully expressing my shock
In the most adorkable way.
(Tomato Face)
Is it real or just their fun joke,
To plant the cute, flirty seed that grows
A tomato, in my cheeks, whoa-oh
Tomato Face, Tomato Face,
Though I come across as timid,
Deep inside, I quite enjoy it,
I cannot set a limit.
Return to my peach-colored face
Is likely ten minutes away,
'Cause I'm bashfully expressing my shock
In the most adorkable way.

Narrator: And Now, it's time for... THE ADVENTURES OF PAPER SHREDDER! Todays Episode, Ironing Board! We catch Derwood Bowen brainstorming parody ideas.

Tiger
03:15
|
|||
Furry little critters that sing high-pitched
Keep recording songs that wind up hits
They keep knocking me off the charts
All because they're cute, not because of the art
Cute little chipmunks, cute little squirrels
Get to participate in the business world
I'm still wildlife in my current financial state
I wish I could rise up with the greats
But I'm a tiger with no welcoming appeal
No record company will cut me a deal
I wanna sing for kids or those who are easily amused,
But I'm loud, mean, and vicious, so in the music industry, I lose.
I have really worked on my song a bunch,
But you keep giving contracts to my lunch
They shouldn't be coming out as stars, that's screwy
They should be coming out of me brown and gooey
Security guards save them from consumption, that's lame
I stir-fry their records, but it's just not the same
It may be cute to you that animals actually sing
But I want my music to be the new thing
But I'm a tiger, my voice sounds broke
Like a dozen razor blades got stuck in my throat
I wanna sing for kids or those who are easily amused,
But I'm a groggy-voiced egotist, so in the music industry, I lose
I'm a tiger, what can I do?
I'm the anti-cute, so I'm royally screwed
I wanna sing for kids or those who are easily amused,
But I'm loud, mean, and vicious, so in the music industry, I lose.
I'm a tiger, what can I do?
I'm the anti-cute, so I'm royally screwed
I wanna sing for kids or those who are easily amused,
But I'm loud, mean, and vicious, so in the music industry, I lose.

Fear Not Furry Citizens
01:20
|
|||
(Chipmunk addressing a crowd, though in this recording you can't tell)
Fear not, my fellow cute critter citizens, for there will be a time when we will not have to worry about tigers trying to eat us based on our popularity or lack thereof! We will not have to compete with them musically for the interest of the public eye! For there will be a time, where we and the tigers will sing together in harmony! Take comfort in the following words that the Lord spoke through the prophet Isaiah!
The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb,
The leopard shall lie down with the young goat,
The calf and the young lion and the fatling together;
And a little child shall lead them.
The cow and the bear shall graze;
Their young ones shall lie down together;
And the lion shall eat straw like the ox.
The nursing child shall play by the cobra’s hole,
And the weaned child shall put his hand in the viper’s den.
They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain,
For the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD
As the waters cover the sea.

I think Fourteen is a pretty cool guy! I think Fourteen is a pretty cool guy!
I think Fourteen is a pretty cool guy! I think Fourteen is a pretty cool guy!

Eh earns me a "Woohoo," Eh earns me a "Woohoo!" and doesn't afraid of anything!

Up (Green Version)
02:52
|
|||
I'm going up, going up, going up...
Life all around me is a wreck
My house is all that I have left.
But I will utilize it all
To get to Paradise Falls
I will accomplish my dream yet.
Retirement wants to take me in
But another plan, I've been schemin'
I got my house to float away,
Say goodbye to the everyday
From my ballooney bin!
Up, up, up, to Paradise Falls from here!
Up, up, up, where I've dreamed of for 80 years
Up, up, up, I'll only go up from here.
Somehow this kid has got on board.
A junior wilderness explorer
To get the badge he's so far missed,
It's me he must assist,
I don't know what he's got in store.
Up, up, up, through the worst of weather we steer
Up, up, up, 'til the home of my dreams appears
Up, up, up, we'll only go up from here.
Oh, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah
Russel's new pet is quite absurd
A rare and colorful little bird
Now by Charles Muntz, we are pursued
But we won't be subdued,
We will not give him the bird.
Although this trip seemed one big mess
It was probably for the best
I've learned to be part of a team,
And ultimately,
We have survived the wilderness!
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
And up, up, up, to where we know adventure's out there
Up, up, up, with lots of memories to share
Up, up, up, it's amazing how well the trip fared!
I'm going up, I'm going up, I'm going up...
Oh, yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah
Yeah yeah yeah, yeah yeah

Bouncin' on Box Springs
04:21
|
|||
If your feet are no good at dancin', or perhaps you just have none
And you're hearing that catchy beat, wishing there was some way you could have fun
If physical deformities haunt you, or of dancing talent you ain't got an ounce
But deep in your heart, you feel the drums thumpin', and you're feeling the urge to bounce
Just for you, we got a tool,
Join the latest craze, you can totally rule!
Bouncin' on Box Springs (woah, woah-oh-oh)
Bouncin' on Box Springs (woah, woah-oh-oh)
Better wear a helmet, 'cause this dance can be off the wall! (bonk) (See?)
Wave your hands in the air,
Or, I guess, your whole body if you dare
If you have no control, there may be no break at all,
Unless you take injury from the fall
Be careful of the ceiling if you're tall! (bonk, scream)
Try it out, it's lot's of fun; In fear, you don't need to recoil
It can be done by anybody, sure, to the dancers, it makes us look spoiled
But join the fun, don't be a fool,
It's a new thing, that makes it cool!
(Right, youth of today, new stuff is cool?)
Bouncin' on Box Springs (woah, woah-oh-oh)
Bouncin' on Box Springs (woah, woah-oh-oh)
Better wear a helmet, 'cause this dance can be off the wall! (bonk) (See?)
Wave your hands in the air,
Or, I guess, your whole body if you dare
If you have no control, there may be no break at all,
Unless you take injury from the fall
Be careful of the ceiling if you're tall! (bonk, scream)
(Instrumental break)
Alright everyone, sing along and spring along
(Repeat chorus to fade out)

Don't Swat the Fly
02:49
|
|||
The fly is an animal, so is a cute kitten,
Would you swat a kitten? I don't think so!
A kitten has life, a kitten has the right
To stick its nose in your face, the fly also.
Humans gain food from other animals,
The fly does the same from you, it's only fair!
Even if it's sucking all the blood from your nose,
It's living, therefore, it's to be treated with care.
We don't care if itching is annoying to you!
(DON'T SWAT THE FLY!!!! DON'T SWAT THE FLY!!!!)
So what if he distracts your viewers, and you look unprofessional?
(DON'T SWAT THE FLY!!!! DON'T SWAT THE FLY!!!!)
He had a wife and three kids, one of whom works with our secretary!
(DON'T SWAT THE FLY!!!! DON'T SWAT THE FLY!!!!)
She's hot, and you made her cry, same goes for the secretary she works with!
(DON'T SWAT THE FLY!!!! DON'T SWAT THE FLY!!!!)
The fly is an animal, so is a cute kitten,
Would you swat a kitten? I don't think so!
A kitten has life, a kitten has the right
To stick its nose in your face, the fly also.
Humans gain food from other animals,
The fly does the same from you, it's only fair!
Even if it's sucking all the blood from your nose,
It's living, therefore, it's to be treated with care.
Sure, under the microscope, he looks like a monster!
(DON'T SWAT THE FLY!!!! DON'T SWAT THE FLY!!!!)
Sure, he killed your cat, but perhaps he just needs some love
(DON'T SWAT THE FLY!!!! DON'T SWAT THE FLY!!!!)
So what if he could give you rabies or the plague? Those aren't illegal!!!!
(DON'T SWAT THE FLY!!!! DON'T SWAT THE FLY!!!!)
Maybe he doesn't like your political views! I don't either!
(DON'T SWAT THE FLY!!!! DON'T SWAT THE FLY!!!!)

Wash My Hands
00:41
|

I brush my teeth of Uncle Ned, I floss of Auntie Sue
I scrub my neck of Little Bobby, and I wash my hands of you!
I comb my hair of Brother John, I shave my lip of Fred.
I pick my nose of Cousin Lou and wipe my feet of Cousin Jed.
I clip my nails of Liza Beth, I pop my zit of Don.
I cleanse my face of Jennifer, exfoliate of Ron.
I swab my ears of Terrence, I wax my legs of Lou.
I trim my beard of Grandpapa, and I wash my hands of you!

This dang bull is lost in the Costco
It's a big dang bull, He's lost in the Costco
Now he's trampling kids here in the Costco
Not your typical sight for a Tuesday night
Every aisle that's here at the Costco
Is a big smashed pile right here at the Costco
So if you're in line down here at the Costco
You'll be waiting on this dang bull
No more hordes of sporks
Or half-ton Raisin Bran
Why he's in here I can't say
Maybe he heard there's samples today
So! Let me please get out of the Costco
No, you can't get past the greeters at Costco
Gotta check receipts here at the Costco
Why's he poking the shoppers full of holes?
He thinks it's the running of the bulls
Moo moo moo - Moo moo ma moo-moo moo
Moo moo moo - Moo moo ma moo-moo moo
Moo moo moo - Moo moo ma moo-moo moomoo
This dang bull (This dang bull)
Moo moo moo - Moo moo ma moo-moo moo
Moo moo moo - Moo moo ma moo-moo moo
Moo moo moo - Moo moo ma moo-moo moomoo
Watch him charge (AmEx cards)
Now he's torn through Sports
And gored the cell-phone man
How he got here I can't say
Maybe they kicked him out of Big K!
So! Let the cops into the Costco
No, they don't have cards, they can't enter Costco
They put crime scene tape all 'round the Costco
Why'd they close down my big warehouse store?
Hey look - there's a Sam's Club right next door!
This Dang Bull!!!

My Pizza Is Ruined

My pizza is ruined, my cat ate the black olives
I'm stuck with just the fatty meats and cheese, but I'll live
I'm gonna get fat because of my cat
I'm gonna get fat because of my cat
I'm gonna get fat because of my cat
And there goes my chance of getting to first base!

Narrator: And Now, it's time for... THE ADVENTURES OF PAPER SHREDDER! Todays Episode, Struck by a Pie! We catch Derwood Bowen brainstorming parody ideas.
Derwood: Struck by a Pie-ie-ie-ie-ie-ie, Struck by a Pie, oh, struck by a pie... Hmm... if the rest of the original song wasn't in friggin' Japanese... Umm... I could try saving this for in case I ever do wanna try and learn and be able to spoof it at some point.
PS: HAVE NO FEAR! PAPER SHREDDER IS HERE!
Derwood: Sorry, paper shredder, I'm saving this one!
PS: Uh! You cannot feed a starving paper shredder? Whatever will I do? It seems that the common citizen has put this superhero in a very bad crisis! Oh, I don't know if I can take it! Lack of salary, lack of food, in this economy, who knows what's gonna happen to me? You can't spare that parody, can you? CAN YOU?
Derwood: Well then, how am I supposed to be able to save this particular parody idea and feed you at the same time?
PC: HAVE NO FEAR! PHOTOCOPIER IS HERE!
*photocopier copies the parody onto another paper*
PS: Thank you, good citizen... slash hero!

Granted, you can't hear it crying, but it is. You can't hear it crying because we're not focused on that track now, you notice that we're focused on Track 30 here. Well, I'm gonna go off and try and comfort Track 15. This is Track 30 signing out.

In a voice that's squeaky
I could do that easily, ah hey!
He's bringing on the fury
Of the YouTube community
Who work their butts off endlessly, ah hey!
I use creativity
It's a good policy
Yet one who does no work goes to the top.
Folks think it's entertaining
He could just say anything
And with speed editing, it's hot!
Do you see the Anti-Freds?
There's a group of Anti-Freds!
I gotta join the Anti-Freds, ah hey!

Quality's what we're about!
We want stuff that took hard work to sprout
To knock Fred out! Hey!
I've been working steadily
On finely nitpicked melodies
I can't whip out stuff in a day
My work's not done effortlessly
SO GIMME GIMME SOME PROMOTION!!!!!!!
Do you see the Anti-Freds?
There's a group of Anti-Freds!
I gotta join the Anti-Freds, ah hey!

Waitor: Here's your food, sir.
Customer #1: Thank you. (munches a little food) Wait a minute... something's wrong... Better go to the complaint department.
(at the complaint department)
Customer #1: Hello, sir. Yeah, my food's half eaten and rotting!
Complaint Dept. Guy: Can I help you?
Customer #1: Yes! My hot dog is half-eaten and my salad is rotting!
Complaint Dept. Guy: Let me take a look... I don't see anything wrong here!
Customer #1: Do you see the hot dog? It is BITTEN! You guys got this out of the garbage, didn't you?
Complaint Dept. Guy: I don't see the problem!
Customer #1: The salad is rotting!
Complaint Dept. Guy: So what?

Alright, let me tell you about the last four songs on this disk, in my set of songs which I call "With my marbles in my head." These songs are more serious songs of mine, so don't be alarmed if you don't find jokes in them. I tried to write songs that reflected what I was going through emotionally at the time. I had moments of optimism, and moments of emotional struggle, based on my experience with trying to find a relationship, and being unable to let go of what doesn't exist anymore. Along the way, I also wrote songs to reflect how God has influenced my life, and while I had my humbling moments, I also have a song here that's meant to be uplifting for others who believe. So, that pretty much covers the gist of these final four songs. So, I hope you enjoy hearing songs that show a deeper side of me that my strange sense of humor often attempts to hide.

It's still there, I feel it
My love for you isn't all gone
Though I know things didn't work out
I'm still struggling to move on
There was a time we had something
My heart doesn't want to let it go away
But you've already let go and moved on
I know I should really do the same
Why I try to hold on to what I can't have
I have no good excuse.
It only causes failure and discouragement
Why do I take the abuse?
What opportunities might I have missed
By not searching around.
Perhaps if I could let go of you
I would find myself quite sound.
A part of me doesn't think I can find in someone new
What I once found in you
Though looking is what I should do
Though I'm not at all sure who
Could also have feelings for me too
Who else could love me true
I've let my feelings trump all reason
Now I'm in emotional prison
A side of me says there's a way to be free
Someone out there will be right for me
Why can't I bring myself to see?
It's not worth holding on
I really should find someone who's better suited
But it's just internal conflict
By each other, my sense of reason and my heart are disputed
It's still there, I feel it
My love for you isn't all gone
Though I know you're not right for me
I'm still struggling to move on

Somewhere
03:46
|

Somewhere,
I know there's somebody out there
Somebody for whom I can care
The girl that's right for me
Someday,
I know that she will come my way
When that will happen, who can say?
I'll have to wait and see
I'm surrounded by these thoughts in my daydreams.
They give me a good feeling, though I'm not sure what it means.
Perhaps, it's a feeling of hope, that I won't be forever alone
The power of love, to me, will not be unknown
Somewhere, she's out there
I know I'll find her sometime
Somehow,
It may be a long time from now,
But I'm sure it will come somehow
That moment meant to be
The day I've waited for all my life
When it comes, my heart will take flight
Somewhere, she's out there
I know I'll find her sometime
Somewhere

Broken Man
02:10
|

I don't claim a perfect life, in fact I can't
Too often, I find myself feeling low
I find this world surrounding me with pain
There's only one escape for me, I know
Here I am, a broken man
Feelin' poor, I need you, Lord
Only you can make things right
I can't do this by myself
It's getting rough, I need your help
To lead me to a better way for my life
I used to be happy and carefree
But life's not always like that, I've learned
What I thought would make me happy turned my life upside down
I know there's only one way I can turn
Here I am, a broken man
Feelin' poor, I need you, Lord
I know that as of late, I feel I've gone astray
Trying to find a new source of relief
Has led to nothing more than grief
Jesus, help me to return to you today

Unforgiveable

Romans 7:21-8:2
I find then a law, that evil is present with me, the one who wills to do good. For I delight in the law of God according to the inward man. But I see another law in my members, warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. O wretched man that I am! Who will deliver me from this body of death? I thank God-through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with the mind I myself serve the law of God, but with the flesh the law of sin. There is therefore now no condemnatioin to those who are in Christ Jesus, who do not walk according to the flesh, but according to the Spirit. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has made me free from the law of sin and death.

Life is oftentimes a mess,
Decisions pulling you every which way.
You know what is right, and from what choice to stray,
And from what you should keep yourself at bay.
But the wrong things tell you they're okay,
And they peak your interest in a snap
Then faster than you can say, "Oh crap!"
You realize you've been caught in a trap.
Just as you reach that conclusion,
That's when Satan will try to come in,
Try to leave you hopeless because of your sin,
And tell you you've just done yourself in
And that there's only doom for which you can prepare,
Even though another option is there.
He won't care, he'll try to hide
The light of Christ and leave you in despair.
Even though his power is scant,
He'll try to convince you he can do what he can't,
But remember that, this just is
One of the messages he'll try to implant...
In our heads, in our minds,
Satan tries, through his lies,
To tell us we're beyond repair
If you start to hear that, beware!
No matter what you've done,
You're no worse than anyone
If you find you start to fall,
The same thing happens to us all, so
Don't say that you're unforgiveable
'Cause Jesus Christ will come through for you
Don't say that you're unforgiveable
'Cause Jesus Christ will come through for you
I feel the battle between the will of my spirit
And the will of my flesh, and I fear that
Sometimes the flesh will overtake me and steer me
To what I intrinsically want
Which is what I know I shouldn't have,
So I try to let my mind reflect,
Why I should redirect to something better, but often
My self-control finds itself wrecked.
But that's when one has to ask the question,
"Compared to your sin, why would mine be worse?"
Everyone's done something in which, to God, it hurts,
As it says in Romans 3, the 23rd verse.
We all just need to pray to God
Let him redirect our hearts,
To help us choose what is smart,
So that from our sins we can depart
Keep your faith in Christ secured
Let him guide you through his word,
Then you don't have to listen to
The one who'll get the wrong ideas...
In our heads, in our minds,
Satan tries, through his lies,
To tell us we're beyond repair
If you start to hear that, beware!
No matter what you've done,
You're no worse than anyone
If you find you start to fall,
The same thing happens to us all, so
Don't say that you're unforgiveable
'Cause Jesus Christ will come through for you
Don't say that you're unforgiveable
'Cause Jesus Christ will come through for you
All of our sins have brought upon us
An ongoing destructive spell
To humankind, but just look up
And see there's someone who wants to help.
Now, we could either just
Ignore his presence and let it go,
And continue to go in a downward spiral,
But Jesus has something better to show.
He's been wanting to give us
A brand new life, a brand new way to live,
So, just accept what he has to give,
And don't reflect on the bad things you did
1 Peter 4:3 tells us
We've already done enough of those things in our past
It's time for us to move on, and make sure
Our new lives and our old lives contrast.
Remember, Jesus died on a cross
Just to tell you you are forgiven
No matter what all you may have done
In the way you used to be living
So, recieve this message of hope
And allow it to plant a seed,
In your heart, to let it grow,
And be careful what messages you let feed...
In our heads, in our minds,
Satan tries, through his lies,
To tell us we're beyond repair
If you start to hear that, beware!
No matter what you've done,
You're no worse than anyone
If you find you start to fall,
The same thing happens to us all, so
Don't say that you're unforgiveable
'Cause Jesus Christ will come through for you
Don't say that you're unforgiveable
'Cause Jesus Christ will come through for you
-----
Titus 3:3-7
For we ourselves were also once foolish, disobedient, decieved, serving various lusts and pleasures, living in malice and envy, hateful and hating one another. But when the kindness and the love of God our Savior toward man appeared, not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, through the washing of regeneration and renewing of the Holy Spirit, whom He poured out on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior, that having been justified by His grace we should become heirs according to the hope of eternal life.
