I do my own cover songs....

Here is one I did of a Rick James tune....and the kicker is, I was hugely, sickeningly drunk when I recorded it. I know, I know, I can't sing...but I still think it is hilarious...and I played all the instruments...no samples, etc....so at least there is that! (It's better with headphones)

And since I really do have mental health issues (as was pointed out to me here, recently) I love obscure 70's movies, like the Bad News Bears in Breaking Training....ok, I admit I am totally obsessed with the movie even going as far as mapping out all the filming locations and then visiting them...to see if I can feel the vibes from that san fernando valley goodness...I stand there hoping Kelly Leak will drive by...seeing how he is from Van Nuys and "Born to drive", it could happen, right? The only place I have not visited (YET) is the field in texas where the Texas Toros trained.....

anyway, if you were those kid's age when the movies were filmed (as I was) then you might understand the movies better...if not, you are deeply disturbed by how un PC they were, back in the day....but that's how I remembered things....

Ok, so this song I also recorded very drunk...also as a joke...the original song is universally panned by critics on amazon and the IMSLB because it is cheesy 70's dross based on the 1812 overture....fuck.

But it isn't all bullshit with me....pretty much all the songs i record are cover versions..

I am very much a hack on the piano...but I love this song a lot, and usually it is not at such a fast pace:

Now, do any of you really believe a sociopath could love Brazilian music? Ted Bundy, The Green River Killer, John Wayne Gacy....all of them were big fans of Jimmy Buffett.......I think that's pretty much a known fact by now.
