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!

THE TOUCHTONE GENIUS
This is a Paid Song! Learn more…
Let’s imagine that somewhere in a hotel room there’s a really talented and really bored composer who has mastered the art of accompanying himself with dial tones while calling random people in their homes. He especilly enjoys leaving 2 minutes operas on other people answering machine.
“The Touchtone Genius”
He begins by introducing himself and then explains that it is important that he plays something for you, for whatever reason he explains. He also apologise for the waking of you at 3 A.M. but emphasizes on the importance on the matter.
Then he plays a cheerfull melodic introduction using touchtone.
He sings the first few measures.
It features an energetic baritone who is seemingly happy because he won the lottery.
He sings the part and play the touchtone live!
He stops and says “and then the guy goes”:
He plays a dramatic tune.Forte. He often sings the introduction melody.
The second act is a dialogue between the guy from the first act and a dissing soprano. Sometimes it may be a completely different subject but it always involves a soprano. He sings both parts perfectly.
He stops “So it goes on for a while then:”
The genius’ dial tone mastery shows off as he introduces the third and last act which is mostly instrumental, except for the very last part of it which is an insult about your mother.
He quickly concludes with a short tone fanfare and hangs up.
A short introductory dialogue and and reactions from the listener would nicely add to it.
Sort of important note: you need stereo speakers or headphones to enjoy The Touchtone Genius to the fullest!

omg omg omg omg omg omg omg i love this this is like so awesome!!! i love the part ” your moms fat!!!” freaking genius!!
Hey. Andrew, this is my FAVORITE SONG! You have outdone yourself. I want to buy this song. It is now my background music in MySpace.
MAN! I LOVE IT!
I would love to see the touchtone genius strike again. So many people, so little time!
(standing ovation) -nuff said
I love this song, but my crazy friends hate it, so I just bust out singing it at random parts of the day to annoy them. It works. Dunno why, it annoys them though, the song is made of pure awesome.
YOU SHOULD TOTALLY DO MORE OF THIS AND DO YOU ACCTUALLY USE A FONE?
We need more of the Touchtone genius. This song has totally motivated me to learn touchtone dialing. xD
Amazing job. :D
EPIC is the perfect word to describe this. This and its animation. I am in awe.
“um…uh… What just happened?” you should make a whole series of songs for the touchtone genius.
this is probably the first song i heard from songsyouwearpantsto.com, and i think it’s AMAZING
Same here, Irritatedoyster.
More touchstone!
This is the most epic thing in teh world. I can’t stop listening to it. EPIICCCCCC
I… LOVE… IT! :’DDD
This is the greatest song EVER!! LMAO
I think I’ve listened to it like five billion times (this is a slight exaggeration)!!! I’m totally going to download it!
I LOVE THIS SONG!!! I HEARD IT ONCE LIKE 2 OR SO YEARS AGO AND I STILL COME BACK TO THIS SITE TO LISTEN TO IT EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE!!! BRAVO DUDE!!! YOU’RE AWESOME!!!
“Frank?”
This is the first song I have heard from you Andrew and I loves it!!
“I’m in awe . . .”
“Your Moms Fat!”
xD
p.s. Plz Makes More TouchtoneQ!
Ooh, too bad you can’t press touchtone buttons and speak at the same time, or people might actually do this. I can play “Auld Lang Syne” on a phone and not much else.
XD that is epic that would be great if you just had the touch tone guy part on here so you could call people and have that part play can confuse people XD
i loved that.
Quite possibly the best song ever! I just bought it and it will now be ringtone, bravo!
The first STWPT song I heard, thanks to Newgrounds. Roped me in pretty easily.
If you did use an actual phone, would it be at all possible for you to post the numbers you used?
Your mom’s fat!
I’m addicted to this song though I wish it was longer ((That’s what she said.))
I wish I had that many touchtones….
One of the videos made for this is what led me to this site in the first place. In other words, I LOVE THIS SONG!
This is the greatest STWPT ever created.
Nothing else can be said that everyone here didn’t already say.
UR MOM IS FAT!
what just happened?
dude this song is amazing i hope to hear more touchtone genius in the future try to find another story to tell in a touchtone montage and you can’t end with out another prank i know you have it in you for an encore performance
This is great!
I’ve figured out exactly how to play that!
The most audible melody line plays in the key of B major up until “I have won the lottery!”. It’s in B minor for the rest.
The touch-tone effect is created by an interval of a major sixth below each note of the top melody. This interval is maintained throughout the whole song.
Would anyone like to see the sheet music?
–Also– am I allowed?
Here’s a link:

No matter how vague, bizarre or specific, Andrew cracks his knuckles and dives in. I love it!

Is there an instrumental version somewhere? Would make a cool ringtone.
The old link for the .pdf sheet music broke. Here’s a working link:

I also made a MIDI version if anyone’s interested.
