Do you do any strange songs? This one was based on a true story:

Now They're Dead

It's 4:22am
Gonna load the kids in the Grand Am
Taking the whole family for a ride tonight
Down by the river and what a pretty sight
I lost control of my steering!
Honey, where's the brakes?
Not teaching the kids to swim
Was probably our worst mistake
Because now they're dead!
No more living on a fixed income
I lost a daughter and a son
I get tears in my eyes whenever I reflect
But a big smile on my face whenever I collect
Because now they're dead!

Most people say all our stuff is strange. :lol:

My dark lyrics usually get edited by Ray. Good thing.

One of the strangest songs I ever heard was "Intergalactic Laxative" by Donovan. I forget what album it was off. I guess Donovan was trying to figure out what happens to human waste matter on a space mission. The lyrics are quite funny. Me and my brother (God rest his soul) used to sing it together. People thought we were insane (they were right).

Hey bob! I still do that old thing. It's off of "Cosmic Wheels."

Strange, huh? Okay, I do a spoof of Stairway called "Stairway To Freebird," by the Rev Billy Wurtz.

I wrote some weird ones - "Jelly Bean Soup," "Morons," & "Social Butterfly."

Always wanted to do Harry Chapin's "6 String Orchestra"

It's quite strange that you would mention strange music in a strange post. and considering that my music is pretty much all strange, I feel strangely attracted to respond to this strange post...
hmm, this is strange!

Nah, wasn't about me and I didn't write it. My singer wrote it about a true story that happened here a few years ago. The dude drove his whole family into the Detroit River. Of course him and the wife got out, all the kids drowned. We were performing it one time and a woman pulled a knife on us and told us to quit playing it; turns out she was the kid's aunt. Small world.

Pulled a knife! Man what kind of moron brings a knife to a gun fight?
Gibson and Smith & Wesson. Both are wireless.
That family would be getting smaller by the day. Must be the shallow end of the ol gene pool.

I think most of my tunes are wierd LOL...here's lyrics for one of them...you can hear it too, should you want to. Follow the link in my sig and the tune is called-"The Ballad of Ironhead"...the other tunes there are kinda wierd too-lyrically...not so wierd musically-pretty much rooted in 4/4 and vanilla chords. . I'm a better guitarist than sound engineer, obvious by the demo. It's not horrible though. The first 2 songs in the list have better production, I think. The Boss BR 600 is a handy little thing!


The Ballad of Ironhead

I come way over yonder from a system w/ binary suns.
Daddy was a psyborg;and a bonafide sonofagun.
Momma was a dancer -one of the exotic kind!
They didn't mean to birth me but I'm told that they had a good time!
You know it's true...

My name is Ironhead & I'm certified, total insane.
I'm the baddest of the baddest got a big fat criminal brain.
I'm like an anti super-hero, Yeah! I got Superman powers!
But I've got to wear a hat when it rains 'cos I rust when it showers!
You know I do...

I guzzle gasoline tea and eat nuclear waste!
Steal candy from a baby just to see a sad face!
Got a skull made of iron, I'm a real hard case!

Make your final preperations, I'll be coming soon.
If you don't try hard to please me gonna offer up some woe and doom.
I'll crack a can of whupass! If you go a wastin' my time!
I'll get all mean and evil and I gaurantee I'll make it all rhyme!
You know I will...
Ryhme all the time!
