Rock and roll, coyote style. This song will be playing in your head after you die.
What started as a funny phrase that popped into my head one day turned into a glam/arena/party rock tour de force that gradually became so loaded with '80s arena rock clichés that I thought I should just just roll with it.
Never mind the lyrics. Most of them don't have any meaning. Just bang your head and shake your ass. Take off all your clothes if you like. In fact, I insist.
This is a cover of a Monty Python classic, which it turns out is actually a parody of the theme from a British depression-era comedy film called "Sing As We Go" Don't believe me? Have a YouTube!

I'd been racking my brain for weeks trying to think of a good Christmas comedy song, when I remembered one I had begun when I was about 13 or 14, and finished it off today.
I thought I'd be done after the second ad, but due to the overwhelmingly positive response the first two ads have gained, I'm both proud and ashamed to bring you the third entry in the Brutomax! trilogy! This is the longest and probably strangest of the three.
This is a cover of the song "Still Alive", written by Jonathan Coulton for the game, "Portal". Only this time, it's done in the style of Johnny Cash (who is probably spinning in his grave right now)!
Warning: The song you are about to hear contains a potentially unsafe amount of awesome. Worthless losers are advised to leave the room and go watch Wheel of Fortune or something. For the rest of you, this is a song about the manliest thing in the universe, right after bacon-flavored dynamite. This is a style parody of '60s soul bands like Blood, Sweat, and Tears and the Ides of March.
My brother and I were playing a game of Scrabble a long time ago. We were using made-up words, and this song is based on one of the words he made up. This song was featured in Kurrel the Raven's project, Furry x 60 Round 2.
I made these several months ago, when humorous energy drink commercials were all the rage. These were inspired by the very popular and very funny "Powerthirst" commercials over on YouTube. Yes, the exclamation point is part of the product's name.
This song first appeared on the Beach Boys' album "20/20", and was re-recorded by Brian Wilson in 2004 for his album, "Smile". Some very difficult vocal work, but that's to be expected from Brian Wilson.

Departure/Ride My See Saw
Original by the Moody Blues; "Departure" written by Graeme Edge; "Ride My See-Saw" written by John Lodge". These are the first two tracks from the Moody Blues' 1968 album "In Search of the Lost Chord". The poem, "Departure" had too much potential not to include it. All the singing was done through a vocoder. There's also a special treat inside if you pay attention.

A thick brick of cheese for your listening pleasure! This was going to be the theme song for Metroburg if it ever got made into a TV series, thus the references to coyotes and transformation.

It's Raining
I got the idea for this song after hearing about a rainy day in Charleston, where most of the people outside were frantically running from the rain, one person, a self-identified Druid, was just standing there with his arms outstretched in a prayer of thanks.

This song was originally written in 2003. I revised it in 2008.

The title track to the upcoming album, and the last of the demos done in 2008.
This was the last thing I was working on before a hard drive malfunction wiped out the project files. Apologies for the bad mix and the cheap synths. This is a cover of an old Anglican hymn, with lyrics taken from the poem "And Did Those Feet in Ancient Time", written by William Blake. Over the years it's been taken up as the anthem for just about every political cause around the world, whether or not it has anything to do with Jerusalem, England, or feet. This version here is very heavily inspired by the cover done by Emerson, Lake, and Palmer.
