Carly and the Creature from Teleport 4

W1: What’s In A Name?

Liner Notes

I picked the random word "critter" (which I soon changed to "creature"), and "Carly" was a name that seemed to pair well with "critter" or "creature." The result is this little space adventure.

Lyrics

I work in the mailroom,
Sleep in the spare room.
My life is pretty dull. I need to get out some more.
I know something big is cooking,
’Cause the Captain came in, looking
For Carly and the Creature from Teleport 4.

A mystery satchel
Marked URGENT and FRAGILE.
I thought something inside was moving
But I couldn’t be sure.
And who was it addressed to?
Don’t even have to guess who.
To Carly and the Creature from Teleport 4.

I know it’s not my business
But I peeked to see what was in it.
My heart was pounding double when I tapped on the door.
A familiar voice said “Come in!
We’re going on a mission
With Carly and the Creature from Teleport 4.”

The rest is classified.
It cannot be confirmed,
Nor can it be denied, ah!

Well, we forged an alliance
With the Beatbox of Silence,
And vowed never to speak of this matter no more.
But guess who broke the story,
And who took all the glory?
It was Carly and the Creature from Teleport 4.

    Well the title is just brilliant.

    Love the delivery and the lyrics are very funny.

    Good job

    It takes a lot of skill to put a thriller in a few verses but there it is.

    I like this. The electric piano was a great choice, and the seventh chords give it a comedic, cheeky feel.

    It would probably benefit from some harmonies over the "Teleport 4" line!
