Rebecca Pittenger's Podcast of Weird Songs

I'm just lying around on my ass cuz I got the flu, but it gets so boring and depressing that I had to do something music related. I asked my dreams what my next song should be about; I fell asleep and had a dream that said, "Grandpa and Grandma and I are writing songs about parallel universes." That sounded just fine for a song idea. It might be kind of boring.

I was in a reverie state the other night, when the hook of this song came to me. I coulda made this song darker than it turned out, based on the lyrics of the hook, but I went for something less dark than it coulda been. It's about spirits of the dead comin' and giving warnings about things, and stuff like that. 

Oh, lordy lord, this year is getting off to a scary-dark start. I used to live in LA, and to see my old stomping grounds getting reduced to smoldering piles of ash has been heartbreaking. That side-note is all to say there's so much darkness in the world right now that I decided to make this song less dark than it coulda been. Hopefully that makes sense.

This is a re-working of a song I did a while back; I wasn't very happy with the original versions of this song; but I realized it would go really well as the next song in the Loosey Goosey Lucifer Part 2 album, so here it is.

This one might be boring. I'm working on an animated movie thingy, and I realized some of the talking formed a melody, so I made a song outta it.

I'm working on a movie based on a series of comic books I did back in 2020; there's a character in it, or sorta like a character, who is a wind-storm. I wanna make some ominous music that goes with the storm when it first shows up. The first part is my attempt to make something eerie and ominous and creepy to go with the storm. It's gonna  go through some revisions, I'm pretty sure. The second part is the storm talkin' to the audience and sayin', hey, I'm a storm. Here I am. I'm a storm. Yes, indeed.

Sorry about the repeat; this version's better. I mean, it's the same version, but a little bit souped up. I decided the B-phrase needed that full-church sound, cuz it was immensely dissatisfying the other way.

This is another Christmas Song; it's about that big star that was in the sky that the Wise Men followed and all that, so they could bring presents to Baby Jesus. The dream I got it from was like, hey, that big, bright star was someone's way of sayin', "take a look over here!" It was sky-sign-language of sorts. 

This is a song about not feeling very Christmas-y. In cases like this, it's always a good idea to drink beer.

This is the next song in the Loosey Goosey Lucifer album, Part 2. Loosey Goosey Lucifer, the Goddess of Light, who rides a magic, singing fly, is reflecting on a past life as a human, where she was burned at the stake for speaking out against the bad politicians in whatever land she lived in at the time. She now fears for her friends because Murpt reminds her of the bad politicians from that past life. 

This is the next song in the Loosey Goosey Lucifer album; it is sung from the point of view of the fly. Sorry this is such a crap mix.

Oh yeah, I pirated the song I did about a week ago about going to the Land of Booze. I realized, in retrospect, that the melody and churchy-ness would make for a good Loosey Goosey Lucifer song.
