Song a Week 52 - Tooting Man Named Jack

David@MacMufasa.com — Tue, 18 Jan 2011 22:38:19 -0600

Ahheem... This completes the Song a Week Project. What? You mean it’s over?

This one is :-) Stay tuned for a brand spanking new project.

This week’s song is about Jack Vale - a YouTube and uh, fake farting sensation. Don’t close your browser just yet. This guy is hilarious.

Check his YouTube channel out here.

I’m not one for fart jokes - but Jack Vale is different. The way he pulls off fake farting in public is full of awesome. He does lots of other really funny things too. Really - check him out.

Hope you like the song. It was fun writing it.

Song a Week 51 - Jonathan Coulton's Beard

David@MacMufasa.com — Tue, 4 Jan 2011 16:19:46 -0600

One of my favorite people - Jonathan Coulton, is the topic of my next song conquest. More specifically - his beard.

I became introduced by Jonathan Coulton by Ze Frank. One of Ze’s “The Show” episodes had Jonathan and Ze doing several songs together. I immediately went to see who Mr. Coulton was.

Song a Week 50 - What Can You Get a Wookiee for Christmas ( When He Already Owns a Comb)

David@MacMufasa.com — Wed, 29 Dec 2010 23:41:59 -0600

I wasn’t planning on ever doing a cover - and I’m not sure why I finally gave in.... but...

If you are going to do a cover there is not much better a selection you can make than this song from the Star Wars Christmas Album that came out back in 1980.

Enjoy the bagpipes.

Song a Week 49 - Monster in My Room

David@MacMufasa.com — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 17:12:22 -0600

This is a song I wrote after reading about Aidan Reed who is 5 and has leukemia. He likes to draw monsters and his family decided to try and raise money for the treatments by selling his artwork. It has been working!

With that spirit in mind, I wrote this song in hopes of raising more money for Aidan and his family to pay for his treatments. I have a 7 year old boy and I cannot imagine what they are going through. My heart goes out to them.

If you can, please purchase this song and help Aidan so that he will get to a speedy remission soon. If you can’t, simply spread the word about helping Aidan.

I hope you like your song Aidan.

This song is about a guy who gets fired from his IT job and get’s kind of excited to get to play with his ‘toys’.

Even more excited is he to wipe his computer so not to let management gain knowledge off of him to do his work once he is gone.

Just a note - the first line is “not safe for work”. After that you’re golden.

David@MacMufasa.com — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 23:02:27 -0500

Update: Yes, I screwed up on this one! Seth doesn’t do the voice, Breckin Meyer does. Eek! I broke the Song a Week Rules and fixed Breckin into the song though. All should be appeased now. Public apology expected soon.

Everything about Boba Fett is awesome. Flame thrower, helmet, jetpack, lasers. Add in some Seth Green, creator of Robot Chicken, and you are golden.

David@MacMufasa.com — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 23:54:29 -0500

I wrote this song for Wil Wheaton. Wil is a cool guy, and a fellow Geek. You may recognize him as Wesley Crusher. That’s not his fault. He didn’t write the lines.

David@MacMufasa.com — Thu, 13 May 2010 22:32:37 -0500

Song a Week #14 - “Am I Missing an Eyebrow?”

David@MacMufasa.com — Wed, 7 Apr 2010 19:03:28 -0500

I got passed lucky song #13 by writing a song for Adam Savage of Mythbusters. It’s a song for Adam, and about Adam. It’s an Adam Savage theme song.

This is the first tongue in cheek song I’ve done and I love how it turned out.

What is this eyebrow rubbish you say? I’m glad you asked. It’s all about this incident: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5-xS9sDuLg

Song a Week #13 - Pull the Moon

David@MacMufasa.com — Thu, 1 Apr 2010 21:08:19 -0500

I got my acoustic groove on and I’m liking this tune. I think it’s one of the best one’s yet. Is that ok for me to say or is that big-headed of me?

I’d say you’ve crossed the line and become weird if you’re listening to your own stuff in the car. I haven’t done that by the way :-)

One step passed that would be going to the store and buying your own cd. How awkward would that be when you check out at WalMart?
