I love it and don't ask me why! Sort of a performance piece
I guess.

I knew this one was going to be funny, because I
started laughing just after the first few piano
notes...and then the "interruption" just floored
me..anyway, something tells me you might like this
family musician project...I think they are damn cool
(in a groovy nerdy kind of way)...check them out:

next! Thanks for the comment!

Jolly good! A song with purpose! Remind me to send you
some of my marzipan confections. Please tell me that the
"jesus complexion line" was one of yours and not actually
printed in a recipe for the mass public.

Geeez . . . it is getting harder to tell what's reality
anymore . . .

Kids in the Hall meet Jack Handey &mdash 11/30/04 - 02:58:35 AM
This reminded me of your compatriots Kids in the
Hall....could easily have been one of their hilarious bits. It
is also reminiscent of Saturday Night Live's old skit, "Deep
Thoughts, by Jack Handey".

I absolutely LOVED the dissonant piano notes creeping in,
then the brass BLAST. What the ___f? It better not happen
again!

I would have taken the dissonant piano even further out,
maybe exaggerate the recipe instructions a bit more too.
This was subtly funny. I guess I wanted it a bit more
obvious slapstick, USA style.

Great job, almost died of laughter and indigestion.

BlackLily gave me a similar tip of the hat, refering to it as very subtle,
Canadian humour. And for some reason I am reminded of a quote by John
Cage after attending a performance of Handel's Messiah: "I don't mind being
moved, but I don't like to be pushed." Not terribly pertinent, but one of my
favorite quotations anyway. Oh and I love the Jack Handey bits. Have two
books of deep thoughts. Thanks for the comment!

blatently subtle &mdash 11/30/04 - 12:41:35 PM
This was exquisitely funny to me... setting the stage with
a comically bland/boring music background & recipe
instruction, simply to have the host "startled"... for some
reason this has gotten me erupting into giggles at very
unexpected times (like during bland meetings at work) for
the past 3 days now, just remembering it... great job! I
think you did the "startled" bit and follow-up lines
perfectly, completely deadpan. Gotta play this for my kids
and see if I can infect them now, bwahaha...
ttfn,
Drakonis

Ha...I'm deeply flattered that my work can make such a lasting impact in your
life!

Now, how to follow it up. I did find an incredibly easy and tasty pancake
recipe on Sunday...

Not too many... &mdash 12/01/04 - 06:38:56 PM
tracks could get away with the word "bejeezus" but this
one does with flying colours! This was just plain hilarious!
Very clever with the "Werthers" bit, "What the f*" and of
course, the "Bejeezus" where you seem to transform into a
Wisconsin citizen.

You may actually shape your thing by nudging the edges
with a knife or your finger nails?!? HAAA!!!

Sweet and delightful... &mdash 12/01/04 - 08:33:40 PM
An eloquent display of your humor, your heart, and some
fine background piano loops. Merry Christmas!

Jack

Funny stuff &mdash 12/12/04 - 10:33:15 PM
I could have done w/ just a bit less reverb/echo on this -
and I think it would have still been as funny (but maybe
just a bit easier to get).

You'll never get to hear it but I remixed it with less reverb and it is better.
Also added more dissonant piano as per Cameron's suggestion. Thanks for
the comments!

You are great! &mdash 01/11/06 - 01:13:13 AM
LOL! You are super funny man! Not to be confused with Batman or Superman... I have listened to a good chunk of your songs now and have either bobbed my head along or laughed! Like this one it was great! My favorite part was when you talked about Jesus's skin tone and be sure to use a Wurthers ( I think?) candy for his face! THAT ROCKED! Iam still laughing! Keep these coming I espically encourage you to do more instructional how to's!!!! Are those your candy creations by the way??? Take care!!!
P.S. I think I got too excited over this song but how can't you???

I downloaded this months ago… &mdash 01/14/06 - 04:33:53 PM
… and put it onto one of my many Christmas iTunes playlists. I
always meant to return and vote/comment on it but never did.
Oops! Besides, it's hard to type whilst wearing oven gloves…

Loved this the first time I heard it and it makes me laugh every
single time. What more can one ask for? The brass blast and your
response was just the icing on the cake… Christmas cake,
obviously.

I want to shape your thing too. Thanks.
