lyrics

She said: Will you run to the quickie mart? I said: Okay I have a car! I drove down the street: La la la la! I said: Oh no, I went too far! I had to turn around and go, Back the way I came before, I drove down the street: La la la la! I said: Oh no, I went too far! I had to turn around once more, Back the way I came before, I can't believe I passed it twice, This is the story of my life.

I want to love everyone, But some people are jerks, (ugh!) I try to love them anyway, But stop being such a jerk, you jerks! Stop being such a jerk, you jerks! I like nice (nice) I don't like jerks (jerks) So just be nice (nice) And show your quirks (just be nice, sucka!) I would like To introduce Myself to you Hello, my name is Basooo! [This was originally intended to be the first or second song on the album, hence the introducing. Although it really makes no sense within the context of the other lyrics.]

lyrics

[A wise mustachioed fellow once told me: Don't put your happiness on hold for the future, the best time to be happy is now! I try to follow that philosophy.] In the morning I was dreaming In the evening Caskets gleaming Don't look forward Don't look back Just be happy where yer at Just be happy where yer at Don't look forward Don't look back Just be happy where yer at Just be happy where yer at Yesterday was An illusion Morrow brings us New confusion [Repeat Chorus] Don't think about the past It talks behind your back The future is too blurry The cause of all your worry I look around me now I never noticed what's around I feel it all inside me now I take it all, it's all me now [Repeat Chorus a coupla times.]

Driving w/ the AC on When I Could Have Just Opened the Window (or "Fresh Air" for short) 02:57
lyrics

[I wrote this song while driving. As soon as I parked I recorded myself singing it. The third verse was written later. A blue jay didn't really almost hit me in the eye, but it did almost hit my windshield. But that wouldn't have rhymed.] Turn off the AC Open up the window Turn off the AC Open up the window CHORUS: Let's get some fresh air Blowing through my hair Let's get some fresh air Blowing through my hair Let's get some fresh air Blowing through my hair Let's get some fresh air Blowing through my hair [Annoying, but thankfully short, synth solo] Turn the radio on I hope they play a song Turn the radio on I hope they play a song (CHORUS) A bluejay flew by Almost hit me in the eye A bluejay flew by Almost hit me in the eye (CHORUS) Let's drive to the beach They say it's such a peach of a day at the beach Only 20 cents each (CHORUS) Let's drive to the beach They say it's such a peach of a day at the beach You can hear the seagulls screech Let's get some fresh air Blowing through my hair Let's get some fresh air

Doo doo doo… (burp) Soda pop! [Instrumental dance party part. Goes on for a long time, but that's just because I know you want to dance for a long time!] I'm addicted to my soda pop, But I got up and there wasn't any soda pop, So I had to get into my car, And drive down to the quickie mart. I been trying to quit!... but soda pop! Yeah!...

Yes! Yes! Roasty toasty By the fireplace Shove some yummies Into my face Get some blankies Build a fort Whip me up some Chocolate torte [Repeat chorus] Grandma’s sofa Is a time machine We will ride it To the Pleistocene Then let's head for Martian shores After it has been Terraformed [Repeat chorus] [Listen to the anguish in my voice -- the product of emotional wounds that can only be healed by some comfy sweats]

[Sequel to "Fly on My Leg." These lyrics describe in more detail what the first song was about.] We were at the coast, Staring at the ocean, She was sitting on a bench, I was standing near the bench. She said, "There's a fly on your leg." She said, "Oh, it flew away." So I started to sing about it. She said, "I knew you were going to sing about it." She knows me pretty well, And then I did my Fly Dance! [Dance party!]

about

Basooo's long awaited debut album is finally here! And by "long awaited" I mean humankind has been waiting for this album ever since ears were invented! Made with just a computer and a dream "Basooo's AMAZING Critically-Acclaimed Debut Album #1!" really is AMAZING, and it really would (probably) be the #1 album if more people knew about it. So tell everyone you know, because the world kinda sucks right now, but at least there's music.

***IMPORTANT NOTE***
Listening to this album is a good alternative to shooting people. Please don't shoot people.

Credits:

I did everything myself. I'm not super tech savvy, so it was a challenge. I couldn't figure out how to record direct into FL Studio (the computer program I used to make the music), so I would record my vocals on my cell phone, upload the sound file to my google account, download it from there onto my computer. Then I would edit the sound clip in iMovie, which is supposed to be for editing videos, but it's the only program I have that can also edit sound (I have GarageBand, but that program was too complicated for me to figure out). From there I would "share" the file to the proper format. (Why do some programs call it "share" and others call it "export" or just "save as." It's so confusing.) After all that was done I could use the file in FL Studio. It was often a challenge to get it synced up just right. In many cases I recorded the vocals first and had to try to make the music fit around it, which is why a lot of the songs sound a little out of time, which you might think is impossible for computer programmed music, but not for Basooo! Anyways, that's the kind of stuff I was dealing with. I hope I figure out some less tedious techniques before recording my next album. Phew, I'm exhausted just thinking about it.
