Watch Out, Llama Spits by Kurplunk 3:26

5 days ago3:26

I love watching videos of llamas acting up and was spit on by one as a kid at the state fair. While I was on the ground, from being knocked down from being startled, I noticed signs. Way down low and up high, they warned "Watch Out Llama Spits." Completely not helpful placement, so I suspect livestock setup folks posted them as such to get their jollies watching fair patrons be spat upon. As I chose song titles for our debut album, I thought, "There's a song!" Swaddled in a sneaky jazz sound, this single weaves my story together with actual sounds of people interacting with naughty llamas. Of course, there's a dance mix as well that you can hear at our YouTube channel. Video: https://youtu.be/_Es47NDxa_8?

Escape from the Lab by The FuMP 1:26

During FuMPFest 2024 members of The FuMP were invited to Escape from the Secret Lab by Dr. Milo T. Pinkerton of the Consortium of Genius. This was a command performance that Devo Spice, Luke Ski, Insane Ian, and Chris Mezzolesta took part in. If they did well they'd be spared. If not, they would be crushed under a 16 ton weight. One of the challenges was an Instant Song, where the performers were required to come up with a song "on the spot." So Chris provided a funky riff on the guitar while Devo, Ian, and Luke each did short verses about their experiences being kidnapped by the COG. This is a recording of that performance. We are proud to report that The FuMP was spared. This recorded is just one of many you can hear on the new FuMPFest 2024 - Live! 2-CD compilation! The album features two hours of music recorded at FuMPFest 2024 and features performances by Pastor Hastur, Holy Bongwater, 2d6, Ross Childs, Steve Goodie, Carla Ulbruch, and our guest of honor The Consortium of Genius! Plus bits from the Live Podcasts panel, the Dumb Parody Ideas contest, Movie Time, the QandA, and more! Pick up your copy now in the store.…

Last week our pal Marlon showed up at my Weird Al Tribute show... and in his honor I wrote this very stupid parody of Exile's "Kiss You All Over." Marlon, as you may have guessed, is the keyboardist and a founding member of Exile. Marlon seemed to like the parody, and said he wanted a recording of it. So naturally I took it way too far, and here it is. Props to Uncle Walter for backup vocal, tambourine, and especially for his spirited yelling of "Khan!" Music: Mike Chapman and Nicky Chinn Lyrics, guitars, bass, drums, piano, keyboards, vocals, arrangement, production: SG Backing vocals: Ingrid Masterson and Walter Cherry Percussion: Walter Cherry…
