the golden age of nonsense

by @cphaurckker

There is no demo for this song.

Liner Notes

Ever have one of those recovered memories that pop up out of some disused neuron after decades?

The other day, Jet Screamer's pop hit from the Jetsons hit me while walking the dog.

Got me thinking of all those 70s and 80s cartoon songs, especially the nonsense ones, so i ran with it.

Lyrics

in pajamas with a bowl of sugar up before dawn chocolate milk tube warming up after it turns on

three channels, four hours Saturday morning was sublime agenda planned once a week we had "our time"

eep opp ork ah ah wat dot dootle duttle deetle pretty mary sunlight rag mop, animated Beatles

ah weep granah weep and a ninny bong it's the universal greeting who cares of some of 'em aren't songs

dino belly pot of beans tie a rope around your jeans who knows what the hell it means but we sang along

eep opp ork ah ah wat dot dootle duttle deetle pretty mary sunlight rag mop, animated Beatles!

josie and the pussycats banana splits and archies even Jabberjaw was in a band it was the style at the time

rocking along with cold slither uncle pecos sang crambone purple smurfs gnap gnap damn our minds were blown

eep opp ork ah ah wat dot dootle duttle deetle pretty mary sunlight rag mop, animated Beatles!

Wow, does this bring back some memories! I like it. That archies/time thing seems a bit off, though - partly due to breaking the rhyming pattern the rest of the verses follow, and partly because "Last Exit to Springfield" was from '93, so it feels a bit later than the other references.

Yeah, it's not perfect; if i end up using it, it'll get another pass - always changes as i write the music. And the Simpsons reference was entirely accidental, (but i kept it because...)
