'We Are The Salesmen' (track from unfinished, dreadfully crap concept album I started when I was 19 that never got past the early writing stage)

Zarking Fardwarks From Zyklon B - sci fi pastiche bearing Dead Milkmen and Misfits influences. Our point of reference for Zyklon B was the Subhumans song "Zyklon B Movie" which we assumed was also science fiction. None of us were aware of its use in the Holocaust until years later, regretably.

Orgasmic Sneeze - ska punk a la Operation Ivy comparing two involuntary physical reflexes.

Chicken Lover - acoustic number about forbidden love
Leonard Nemoy - psych jam, can't remember the subject matter
Talking Pie - Ron Howard tries to use a talking pie to take over the world w/ electro beats

There are like a 100 of these and it hurts my soul that I can't remember them. I may have them somewhere though, possibly in want to put them on youtube.

I don't! ;_;

I am genuinely annoyed about this. Paens to kids we hated at school, peadophiles, Tim Westwood's alternitive life as someone who has sex with animals and then blows them up after to get rid of the evidence and much much more - probably still exists if I wanted to talk to the cunt who recorded it all. But I don't, cos he's a cunt.

(written age 15 in 1989, think Chris Needham without the talent)

XXXXP - I'm sure that 'farking zardwarks' is an expletive from Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy too :)

Fire Hazard (morbidly depressing pre-Kid A Radiohead tosh)

"Preston the Penguin" -- a song about a rebellious young penguin who longs to leave his boring arctic life and controlling parents behind and start anew with a girl named Lorraine.

"in2u" - not my first band, but about eight years ago I had the idea to write a song whose lyric portrays a couple as they meet, fall in love, and eventually break up, all via text messaging and without ever meeting each other in person. I abandoned the effort partway through as it proved completely unworkable, as i should have realized before trying to write it.

write it again

four weeks pass...

My band in the early 80s was mostly instrumental, so we would usually just grab titles from the nearby bookshelf ("Expeditions To Nowhere," "Thirst For Love"), from events that were taking place on the day we came up with the song ("New Roommate," "Heater Repair") or a bit of dialogue from a movie we watched during practice: "Cossack From Canarsie" was an insult in "Lady Of Burlesque" starring Barbara Stanwyck.
