THE CONCEPT
Andrew makes songs based on your ideas.
And sometimes he just makes songs.
But anyway, suggest something?

NEW CHAPTER
It’s been a gradual transition that wasn’t always even apparent to me, but I can definitively say now that my work will be focused more on my YouTube channel than this website. (Though a redesign is on its way that will integrate the two a bit more anyway.)
Of course, all the songs here will stay up for your enjoyment – some might even be made into videos in the near future. :) I will also continue to do commissions.
Thank you all for your support and encouragement over the years. Things are getting bigger and better and I hope you’ll stay on this magic carpet ride with me forever!

BEERBOGGANING
Here is the CBC radio 3 song request:
“There ought to be a song about tobogganing. Drinking beer and bombing down hills out into traffic, through hedgerows and into creeks. — Should ‘beerbogganing’ be a real word?? — Oh and please include some of the fringe sledding activities like bumper shining/skiing/shagging -what’s it called? You know, leather jackets, smokes and Kodiak boots getting dragged through the snow holding on to a bumper. BTW – what rhymes with tobogganing?
This could be all wrapped up in some deep Kingston dub, with LOTS of reverb (and other -erb)-think Augustus Pablo. Either that or something more raucous like Iron Maiden’s ‘Run for the Hills’. Get it?” – Your choice.

Did he mention this song in “Haaaaiiiii”?
I wouldn’t give that chocolate toboggan to my cat! I’d eat it myself! Om nom nom nom. Mmmmmmmm…. splintery
why doesn’t this song have more comments? More people proclaiming its greatness? This song was the first one my brother played over and over and over again until I was suffering from withdrawal symptoms that included annoying my family from singing it in the car during 2 hr drives to the city.
Haha. That’s epic!
Epic ending.
mmmm…
O.o Wow. *worships Andrew even more*
what shenannigans said
adding on another 0.o
thats such an insane activity and BTW i love the “Run to the hills” part. so pretty . So what if i like to sing songs about tobogganing?
Who doesn’t love to sing songs about tobogganing?
In all honesty, I think someone needs to request for this to be lengthened and done properly.
Iron Maiden Reference! Epic…
NO
YOU’RE WRONG
YOU LIKE TO SING SONGS ABOUT TOBOGGANS
amazing
simply amazing
YOU’RE WRONG!
:D:D
LOLOLOLOL!!!!
Is this the origin of the clip…
“NO! YOU’RE WRONG! YOU LIKE TO SING SONGS ABOUT TOBOGGANING!”?
my mind was blown the first time i heard the little iron maiden tribute at the end. classy stuff, andrew!
As soon as he started singing, I was thinking iron maiden. Then The “Run to hte hills” Really set it off. I lol’led at that part.
