New song: ‘Not Fooling Anyone’
I’ve recorded a new song parody for your listening pleasure (?). It’s called “Not Fooling Anyone,” and it’s a parody of Daniel Powter’s ubiquitous pop hit “Bad Day.” Please to be visiting the song player and listening to it there.
The recording was done here in my apartment with my electric piano keyboard and Mac’s Garage Band software. I’m pretty impressed with what Garage Band can do with regard to recording MIDI instruments. I only had to play the song once, and all the minor fixes of wrong notes, etc., were done easily and electronically with that one recording. The vocals were limited by my very poor-quality microphone and poor-quality singing voice, but I added some reverb and distortion to make it sound more radio-y (i.e., as if the flaws were on purpose).
Anyway, there it is. If you’re wondering why I called it “Not Fooling Anyone” instead of the more obvious title that would be closer to the original title (“Bad Day”), it’s because I didn’t want to give away the joke.

It makes me smile.

I laughed out loud when “Somewhere Over the Rainbow” made a cameo.

I enjoyed this song. That said, I don’t think it’s fair for you to write songs about me without asking me first.

Didn’t like it. Sorry. That’s probably the first time ever you’ve made a joke that I actually found annoying, and I’ve read every Snide Remarks column and movie review on this site (serious). Onto the new Snide Remarks…
Gee, I hope that didn’t sound like it came from someone who isn’t one of your biggest fans… Did it?

That is my new favorite song. I might play it for my hot anatomy professor, who I think is gay based solely on the grounds that I am attracted to him.

Nevermind. This is now my favorite song, and I log on to listen to it about once every ten minutes!
