Rebecca Pittenger's Podcast of Weird Songs

Oh, my, I really must turn down the gain on the vocals when I record these things - the other version of this song is the distorto-mix because I did something dumb in the MP3 conversion process, but this one also has some dumb harmonic distortion on the vocals. But it might be a little better cuz I made the overall volume of this quieter. It's quieter, so it's harder to rock out to it, but it might not sound as shitty, in terms of the harmonic distortion and all that jazz.

Here's another reprise of the "we don't know just how to live" theme. It's a sad li'l variation on that there theme, using a fancy-dancy chord progression with a G augmented chord. Dang, I remember my music theory, after all.

This is the next song in the possession album. Timmy, Bobby, Father O'Malley, and the me-character are all set on going up to the sun tonight, but then they see Grandma standing there with a stern-ish, worried look. That gives them pause.

I woke up with a melody coming from a dream, and I asked the song if it could tell me what the lyrics are that goes with the melody. I heard: "Hell Snake, making Hell things holy." I made it into a song from the point of view of said snake.

This song is based on a true story: I cut my finger on my guitar string today. I was confused cuz that's never happened before. Then I realized there might've been a pre-existing cut there because my kitty accidentally poked me with her claw, and the cut I observed from the guitar string might've been the kitty cat cut being made bigger.

In this song, Timmy, Bobby, and Father O'Malley consider following the me-character into the sun after she expresses wanting to go to the sun.

This is a song about skulls and stuff. It's sort of a song about how everyone has a skull and every person you bring into your like has a skull. The more people you have in your life, the more skulls you have in your life. It's also a song about how we're all gonna die.

Oh yeah, I marked it "explicit," not cuz it has any curse words in it, but there's a mention of smoking pot. I'm still not certain whether that merits an "explicit" tag or not.

I tried to re-record a vocal take I wasn't happy with, but I sounded like ass. As a result of sounding like ass, I decided to impulsively record a mini-song about sounding like ass. It's just a wee, mini-song about singing like ass.

Here's a weird version of a song I originally posted on this podcast on May 27 2017. I was listening to my iPod and it randomly shuffled to this song, and I though, heck, why don't I post it here?

Here's a rough demo of the human life is dumb song. Yes, indeed.
