#42: “Cat Lady”

Gwilym — Tue, 04 Aug 2009 07:48:01 +0000

This is a song about gender stereotyping.

Also, a few of the lyrics lower the brow of this entire project by a good few milimetres. I was powerless to resist them.

#40: “Mochaccino”

Gwilym — Fri, 31 Jul 2009 05:33:22 +0000

Had I lived in the 50s, I’d totally have been a jingle writer.

#31: “Mirror Village”

“A mirror looks at another mirror” ~Dawa

I hope this story reads. I’ve never written anything like it before, and there are some big plot points that I leave unspoken. I hope it’s not too difficult to follow.

#29: “Thumb Fighter Street”

Gwilym — Thu, 16 Jul 2009 06:44:11 +0000

This is a cautionary tale.

I should try reversing some of my other song names, see if they give me ideas too.

#21: “The Alexander and the Swine Flu”

Gwilym — Mon, 06 Jul 2009 08:09:36 +0000

This song is precision engineered to make my sick friend feel better.

#17: “Vegetable Stew”

Gwilym — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 04:50:43 +0000

“I know it’s only breakfast time but I was thinking of veggie stew for dinner tonight. I’m currently off wheat and sugar so foods not as much fun as it used to be, but thank god for veggie stew. Lentils, barley, stock, potato, kumera, butter beans, kidney beans, carrots, and, of course, peas. Sometimes I add chick peas, but I really shouldn’t.” ~Fiona

Definitely the strangest thing I’ve received via the Suggest a song idea section. Whether it was a a genuine suggestion, someone messing around or possibly even a spambot, I have no idea – but I couldn’t leave it alone.

#9: “Bunnysong”

Gwilym — Thu, 11 Jun 2009 02:49:41 +0000

“now make one about bunny rabbits or possibly random foreign people texting you out of the blue” ~ansgaros (10 Jun 2009)

It appears that I now do requests! I might add a ‘Suggest Song Ideas’ page to the site, but in the meantime feel free to let your imagination run wild in the comments section.

#5: “Dr. Horrible”

Gwilym — Thu, 04 Jun 2009 22:25:56 +0000

In today’s song, I lament the fact that Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog only lets Americans watch the show.

This may sound like a thin concept (because it is), but bear with me.

Special thanks to Dawa for helping out with a handful of lines.
