Beatnik Turtle's Song of the Day

Q: Do you really think that the end of the world is nigh as you sing in Goodbye Cruel World??

A: Well, if it is, we'll all be happy we live on credit card debt and student loans!

This song appeared on our 2004 album, The Cheapass Album, an album filled with songs about or inspired by the off-beat, quirky board and card games of Cheapass Games, this one having been inspired by a game called The Great Brain Robbery.

Riddle me this: who is "you" in this song? The original demo appeared as a 2007 song of the day.

Sugarbottom Lane is a dark place. Even though it's inspired by a park located in Iowa.

In April, Tom, Randy, and Ryan played a few songs live on The Razor and Di Show on WLUW in Chicago. Luckily it was recorded so we can bring you our highly caffeinated live recording of Turning Caffeine Into Code.

Just TRY to unravel the lyrics to this one!

We realized there weren't any songs written in tribute to settling for second place and giving up on your dreams. That just didn't seem right to us, so we wrote this one.

Women, shopping, clothes, and the changing rooms. Scientific studies have suggested that the behavioral pattern of trying on clothes but rarely purchasing them is tied to the two-X genome. Those of the opposite sex tend to just buy what fits. When Jason read of these studies, well, it just HAD to go into a song.

Yep, this song was also slated as a track for BT's follow up to their debut album What We've Got. However, Santa Doesn't Like You, The Cheapass Album, one live album, The Song Of The Day, and two RPM Challenge albums (All In A Day's Work and Sham Rock) delayed the album this song was to appear on. Well, until now.

The even older demo for demo for Her Imaginary Closet appeared last year right here at TheSongOfTheDay.com.
