FAWM: "High Steaks"

High Steaks

NSFW

Liner Notes

Based on a joke I heard. Poor old Joe.

Lyrics

Old Joe's greenhouse was a backcountry mess Solar panels with wiring substandard at best Thing is no authority ever came round Till the day old Joe's growop burnt down

the steaks were high The turkey was roasted The chicken was fried The day Joe's place Went up in smoke.

The flames they spread into the fields Blazing up the seasons yields The firemen mounted a valiant attack But after one whiff all they wanted was snacks

the steaks were high The turkey was roasted The chicken was fried The day Joe's place Went up in smoke

-firey kazoo-

And the three little pigs just huffed and puffed and huffed and puffed

Joe stood in the ashes A miracle, no one perished The pork loin would go to the butcher smoked But he's never recover from when the rooster spoke.

He said

The steaks are high The whole town is toasted And I think your goose is cooked Old joe, You're going up in smoke.

RIP joes. This line could fit my kids too: “But after one whiff all they wanted was snacks” 😆 The kazoo solo made this, along with the emphysema following the huffing and puffing

Ghoooost Hippies in the Skyyyy-yyyy. I love the piggies huffing and puffing. This was a hoot.

I had to crowbar the little.piggy part in. Too good to cut. I'll have to smooth that out as I develop the song.

Only read the lyrics, already rolling. Your musical delivery was unexpectedly serious bard mode and that juxtaposition with the ridiculousness of the story, though still kinda sad, is a brilliant recipe.

Then the kazoo. 🔥🔥🔥

I initially conceptualized a cannabis-infused version of Old MacDonald's Farm. But the serious bard sound made itself clear before I could finish the lyrics.
