THE ORIGINAL SONGS TO WEAR PANTS TO

A few years before starting this website, I put out a CD by the same name. Beyond the name, the website and the album don’t really have anything to do with each other, except that it’s all my music.

Anyway, I thought they were sold out, but I recently discovered 22 copies still shrink-wrapped and hiding in a box.

It’s got these songs on it, plus 11 more that I haven’t posted anywhere online:

MOSES
MARY POPPINS
SCATTERBABY
LIMBIC
WHITE

Want a copy? I’m asking $9, which includes shipping to anywhere in the world.

Blast from the past!

RAZOR GATOR

This is a Paid Song! Learn more…

I would love it if you’d remake the Razor Gator song, preferably in a sort of ’90s alternative rock/post-grunge sound.

STER-LO

This is a Paid Song! Learn more…

I have a friend named Sterling, and he’s really great to me, and he LOVES your site. He’d be ecstatic if he had a song written about him. I’d love it to include all/any of the following:

The fact that he said I crushed his “moral” instead of “morale”.

The phrase “Ye got me in me mizzenmast.”

If you can, please insert the phrase “Oh, look! It’s a honeypot!” somewhere in there, because he once thought a Chococat (Hello Kitty-type character) coffee mug was a honeypot.

That to be a man, you must have honor, honor and a peeeeeenis!

If he had his way, he’d constantly be “in the nudie dimension” (As in naked. Too much info, I know)

Some girl at the GAP in the mall saw his “junk.”

He swerves AT quail on the road, because he thinks they are “the rats of the bird kingdom.”

He dreams of “prancing naked in the meadow.”

You’ve got to mention Skills USA. It was some web-design competition that he got 2nd place in, and it’s the only thing I’ve ever heard him get upset about. It’s hilarious.

OH and please mention that we go to Chili’s about 3 times a week.

You could reference “that one time I punched him in the arm.” …I’m not allowed to say more.

That he has issues, and I’d like to subscribe.

He is the ONLY white person (including Eminem) who can say things like “Word” and “Whatev” and sound genuine AND cool.

We once saw a license plate “DRMCAR” (=dream car) and he said (thinking he was smart), “Oh, look! It’s Dr. McCar!”

He noticed that Chamillionaire looks exactly like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle. (Google Image search him, it’s uncanny! And that would fit well if you did the Chamillionaire parody.)

When he shaved his beard and had just a “molestache” for about an hour. It was the sickest/funniest thing I’ve ever seen.

That even he won’t eat Quesadilla Pizza…

And something about the fact that he smells like a tree, but I still don’t want him to “leave.” I’d also like it to have something about how we watch Star Trek and Adult Swim together every night, and that even though I have a huge crush on Data, I like Sterling more.

Also - if you ever refer to him by his name, could you say “Ster-Lo” instead of Sterling?

And on a final note: I would be forever thankful if you could end it with some sort of reference to yourself. Something about how it’s Andrew saying Happy Birthday to Ster-Lo and that you wrote him a “song to wear pants to.”

I’d like it to be funny and upbeat, for sure. A rap would probably be pretty effective.

We really hate the rapper Chamillionaire and his damn song “Ridin’ Dirty,” but I don’t know if trying to model it after that would give you enough flexibility. However, Weird Al recently did a spoof of that song in which the chorus goes “white and nerdy” instead of “riding dirty,” and that is an EXACT description or Sterling.

CARE OF 3 STUFFED ANIMALS

This is a Paid Song! Learn more…

It is my anniversary gift to my boyfriend, and I would like it to be cute and reflect on how fun we can be. I want the song to be about the three stuffed animals I have.

Toofers, the blue baby alligator. He has a purple bib.
Seamore, the seal. He does amazing aerial stunts. He also loves hide and seek.
Christopher Penguin, the penguin. He’s very bashful.

Whenever Toofers’ teeth hurt, Jack brushes his teeth for him.
Christopher Penguin loves car trips.
Seamore is an excellent break-dancer.
Seamore fits right in Jack’s pocket.

As for the tone of the song, I want the melody to be fun and happy like the tune to Care of Cell 44 by the Zombies. That is our song, so if it is easier for you, you can make it to the tune of Care of Cell 44.
