"Spooky" : FAWM

Spooky

Liner Notes

update* I totally forgot there was a yadda yadda yadda song by Megan thee stallion... whoops. Guess I stole accidentally. This song is not very similar to that song ***

I started this #folk-hip-hope tune with the chorus. I was just trying to make my teenage son laugh. (it barely made him smirk) So I guess that means its good. Then I thought I would justify this nonsense by inventing an explanation. You know how they are saying you can mess up the algorithm on purpose just to mess with it. Like one day search for “Men’s” products and then the next day google “what to expect when you’re expecting” Then act like you’re going to book a cruise with some old folks… I don’t know it seems like a lot of work and “they’ll” probably figure it out anyway.

So that’s what this chorus is, a bunch of hogwash to mess with the AI overlords.

And so the verse is a response to that. Getting outta here!

The second verse is left open for my homies in XRAY-teachers!

No need to work too hard this sprint around. So i just pretended to freestyle only occasionally saying real words.

Lyrics

Spooky

Let’s see if I can conjure something to make it seem profound The bots are taking over and they’re messing up our town Folks are queuing up like cattle willing to fall in line And the Judas cows are selling out the attention of our minds

Get it back on track outta here with a backpack Stepping on twigs Hugging trees like a maniac Trip and do a face plant happy as a bobcat Fungi smile cause they know where the party’s at Take a breath and slow it down There’s no one else around Fall asleep and find we’re dreaming to a soundtrack of forest sounds

Frozen burritos, Tootsie Roll pinatas, October cumpleaños YADDA YADDA YADDA YADDA Cruising on a ten speed, looking for an exit, Folks are getting restless YADDA YADDA YADDA YADDA Turning up the volume, solves a lot of problems, I’m so glad I found ya YADDA YADDA YADDA YADDA Sticker bomb this sit-com, I think I’m finally lost Mom, the GPS is TomTom YADDA YADDA YADDA YADDA

Quirky creative and very fun lyrics that has a pointed edge that speaks to me about our capital consumerism. Love the energy and expression of the driving music! Love it!

@robinleaf 2d

Okay, this is ridiculously fun! I love the fast rapping especially. Also really love the backing music. This is so catchy. What are the lyrics for the second verse section? I get that they're probably intentionally muted but I'm still really curious. I'm the sort of person that puts subtitles on everything I watch, because even when dialogue is soft and we're not really meant to pick it up, I still want to know what they said.

These lyrics are totally sick. So great.

@disarming 2d

Haha. Thanks for the compliments. I'm not saying anything really. I was pretending to freestyle. There are only a few coherent words in there. It's really just a placeholder until I write more. Or one of my buddies writes a verse. Thanks again.

OK, so I have now listened to this many times! I can’t and don’t want to get it out of my head! Can you pretty please send me an MP3 of it? I don’t want this song to disappear with the song sprint!

@wynia 3d

I’ve never heard the “other” yadda song so this is the benchmark for me - I LOVE THIS. The parallel movement by the spooky bass and guitar and vocal (are you somewhat doubled here? Cool effect). I laughed so hard at your son barely smirking…I’ve got a 15 year old (as of today!)…I know how that goes. HE THINKS IT’S AWESOME! I’m gonna listen again, really fine work!

I listened to this without reading your intro, and I think I still kind of got what you're doing. You're vocal is like this Tasmanian Devil, spinning off wild energy. And there are fresh images in the lyrics I love like "happy as a bobcat", "fungi smile", and the lovely scene of dreaming in the woods. The chorus is fun, and "turning up the volume solves a lot of problems" are words to live by.

Gibberish with a few real words is my favourite way to freestyle! Did not expect that double time second verse, you pulled that off nicely. Occasionally I’ve thought of doing that and then shied away.
