I wrote and recorded this song in one day, as part of a project to help stave off boredom while my then-boyfriend was on a road trip. It's about job-hunting, which is not the greatest songwriting genre, but the studio version of this song is one of my most polished-sounding tracks. I talk about why syncopation in the bass makes the chorus more fun, why I added a glottal stop to the verses in the studio version, and for some reason I also brought out a really hideous recording of me trying to sing a creepy Donny Osmond song. Spoiler alert: I was eventually able to pay the water bill.
