All right, so I had written and recorded a song called "Miss America" (which was kind of weak, but hey... that's kind of the purpose of this whole thing) and just didn't get around to mastering it. The only excuse I have is that I made it into the SONG FU competition that Audrey posted about. So this is the competition, and the deal was to write a theme song for a show featuring me or my band.
Well, I had a great idea for a song called "Black Belt: Undercover Spy," but seriously... do you know how hard it is to get a good horn sound? And all of the 60s-80s theme songs have horns! And if they don't have horns, they have serious orchestra scores.
I didn't have time for that, because I was busy cooking up a storm this past weekend. And people liked the phrase "Cubicle Gopher" anyway, so I wrote that song in a very jazzy major 7ths kind of way - basically John Denver, sped up, and in 59 seconds and change.
Andy's reaction was that it wasn't funny (I gave up on that a couple of weeks ago right after I submitted for the contest), but it was the type of sweet song that goes with a comedy. In fact, his specific words were: "Perfect Strangers."
I guess that works for now.
