04 - Roller Shoe Disaster + Brand New Key
This is me playing the classic song ‘Brand New Key.’ It’s by Melanie, who was popular for about twelve seconds at some point in the late 60s or early 70s. You know how long it takes you to floss the three molars in the upper left (stage left, that is) corner of your mouth? That’s how long Melanie was popular. I’m sure she tried a comeback at some point, which I imagine was very sad and pathetic. A moment, please, for Melanie.

[..YouTube..] I don’t know if it’s considered pathetic that I am not only watching some random guy’s podcasts, but commenting on them as well. Reguardless, all your music is super good and I’m sorry you had heelys.

[..YouTube..] Thanks pianki, and also Flossy. I think that my wearing of heely’s is way more pathetic than any watching of podcasts. Thanks for watching, though! Subscribe!

[..YouTube..] Hey Everyone. Apologies if I talk too much. It was the original conceit of my webcast. Talking and singing. However, I always tell people now how to skip, and I’ve even started telling stories POST-song, so you don’t even have to do that. Hope you liked it anyway.

[..YouTube..] Sorry. I just worked it up myself, and I’m way too lazy to tab it. The chords are just the typical bar versions of all the relevant ones. As for the solo, it’s improvised (poorly). Enjoy!
