Rebecca Pittenger's Podcast of Weird Songs

I'll try to make this not too long winded.When I do raps, I always endeavor to make my words understandable, but sometimes I fail in that mission. I started to think, yesterday, about how I'll bet some raps are more understandable than others, not only because of proper diction/enunciation, but also because the more understandable ones use word combinations that are more common in English than ones that don't. For example, "I went to the store" is a phrase more commonly used in English than "I went to the bear." In statistical terms, there's a higher probability that the word, "the" will be followed by the word, "store" than it will be followed by the word, "bear." Those low probability word combinations take your brain a longer time to process than the high probability ones. Because of that, raps using common word combinations'll be easier to understand than raps that use unusual word combinations.This inspired me to get on my iPad and pretend I was writing an email to myself. I'd start with a word, and then go to the little word-suggestions thingy at the bottom of the screen and just push that button over and over. I did that cuz the word suggestions are based on what the computer's prediction of the next word, given the previous word, based on those probabilities I discussed above.I ended up generating some word salad that way, and I put it into a nice li'l rap song. Here it is.

Here's the next song in the possession album. The little baby part of the me-character's soul considers re-joining with the me-character. The bears say, yes, that's a good idea cuz she's got Timmy and Bobby, who are her bestest friends, and they'll stick with her through thick and thin.

This song is the sequel to last week's song, when I was worried I had covid in real life. It turns out it was just a regular cold cuz my covid test came back negative. This song's about that.

This is a reprise of the song from August 7, 2020. It's the Timmy and Bobby theme - they're calling the little baby part of the me-character's soul back. They don't know if it'll work.

It's weird how, nowadays, when you come down with a bug, it's a scary-bad thing. Is what I have a drink-lots-of-fluids-and-rest kind of bug or something scarier than that? Suffice it to say, I'm going to got a covid test tomorrow. And I'm all vaccinated up, so those are good things. But these are weird times.

I wasn't sure if I like the other version of this song or this one better. This one is the shorter and sweeter one; I slightly prefer it. But if people favor the extended version, I wouldn't want to take it down. That would mean.

This is the next song in the possession album - the me-character realizes her friends, Timmy and Bobby are very teddy-bear-like, in terms of their personalities. Can they get the baby-me to come back and rejoin regular-me if they promise that baby she'll get to be with teddy-bear like people? Can they take the place of the real bears?

You know when you listen to a new album of songs, and the song that you don't like at first becomes your favorite? Or a food that tastes yucky and gross at first becomes your favorite after a while? That's what this song's about; it's about something I almost threw out a year ago; and, after the fact, I'm really glad I didn't. Cuz the thing in question became my favorite.

This is a song about tryin' to get rid of bad memories. It uses pooping as a metaphor.

This song is a reprise of the song from February 12, which introduces the topic of the baby part of the me-character's soul hanging out with the bears. In this song, the me-character tries to get the baby to come back and re-integrate with the rest of her soul.
