Heck yes! I only wish I had the words to so gracefully pen my thoughts as in that second verse. Stunning.

This Just In!!!

Last night, I got in touch with Nuclear Bubble Wrap's "Weirdo Jace" McLain and a "Weirdo Jace"/Nuclear Bubble Wrap Bootleg has been recorded last night during an "Open Mic" session. Plans for distrobution are well underway.

Here are the songs Jace performed last night:

Dreamworks CGI
Reminds Me of You
Voldemort
Racist (Against Devils)

I am unsure of the exact order of last night's setlist as I have yet to obtain last night's performance.

In Other News...

Spring is here and so are the Bootlegs! Ruben and The Novelty Shack have released their setlist for Saturday's Opening Performance for a Domino Tournament for The Blind:

Band Covers
Copy Cat Strut
Swimmer's Ballad
Old Beatup 286
Overrated
Funny Parody
Guitar Solo
It's Still Real Estate To Me
Me Like Swimming

The performance will be recorded as proceeds to the release of their debut album, "Dive!" and will be posted here for your listening pleasure when the recording goes public.

Sounds very exciting and cool, MG!

That sounds very cool, MG.

What is "Overrated" a parody of, and what is it about? I'm just curious (I wrote a parody of Avril Lavigne's "Complicated" last year about American Idol called "Overrated" ... was wondering what yours is about ... it's probably been posted, but I don't remember).

MG, I love the way you hype everything up. A new Weirdo Jace song would get more attention here than a new Yankovic song

Anyways, that sounds great, MG

I'm working on a new parody myself about some of the parodists here and I'll try to get some cameos and the like in there.

Avorak,

"Overrated" is my parody of Avril Lavigne's Complicated. It's about the pros and cons of House Hunting. I wrote this parody shortly after Al came out with "A Complicated Song" and have an Authentic recreated instrumental version of Complicated.

Ryan,

I'm glad you like my writing style. I plan to continue with that style when I have a website to host some songs, show updates and news for upcoming albums.

That's great, MG ... I'm assuming you posted it here, I'll have to see if I can dig it up (I almost have a memory of it ... LOL). Anyway, thanks for answering ... and again, very cool on everything!

Avorak,

Glad you sound interested.

If you're interested on everything else, here's what I've got:

Band Covers - Parody of I Fought The Law, by Bobby Fuller Four
Copy Cat Strut - Parody of Stray Cat Strut, by the Stray Cats
Swimmer's Ballad
Old Beatup 286
Overrated - Parody of Complicated, by Avril Lavigne
Funny Parody - Parody of Pennyroyal Tea, by Nirvana
Guitar Solo
It's Still Real Estate To Me - Parody of It's Still Rock and Roll To Me, by Billy Joel
Me Like Swimming - Parody of Me Like Hockey, by The Arrogant Worms

Most of these are going to be on my debut album, "Dive!".

Those sound good Mad Genius. I hope your debut album does well. As for me I think Ill do some more stuff later. Im probably gonna parodize Gwen Steffani's "Hollaback Girl" into something. I thought about callin it "Really Fat Girl" but songs about fat people have been done alot so Ill have to do something else, but Ill probably do "Really Fat Girl" anyway
