Musical Jokes

I've been inspired by many different forms of storytelling and music and have a vision of what I think would be interesting on stage and through a car stereo. I don't have much time to pursue them right now, though. But, here's an early version of a few jokes strung together with music. I was thrilled with it at the time, because I was just playing around with Band-in-a-Box, my new Roland Sound Canvas and Cool Edit Pro. I'm not as impressed with it ten years later and my wife just rolled her eyes at me when she heard it.

Listen to "Tree Elephants"

I remember putting a lot of these up on mp3.com, back in the heyday when you could make money for people listening to your stuff. The "Star Wars Gangsta Rap" was huge on mp3.com, even making something like $40k or $50k one year (probably about 1998 or 1999). I was trying everything to come up with something different and cool. Hey, not all experiments work, but you don't really know it until you try it.

I don't remember for sure, but I probably played around with "Tree Elephants" for hours. And, yes, what you hear there was the result. But, it was better than watching TV!
