I have a theme song!  Technically, I even wrote the lyrics.  All of the lyrics are taken directly from my posts.  I’m quite pleased with this.  Kinda bad ass!

 

I’m off to work.

 

Don’t bang your cousin while I’m gone.

Another theme song for another awesome blog. We have a couple more in progress, so stay tuned.

Proving that no one is safe from The Really Good Pot Roast, I HAVE A THEME SONG NOW.  

This surprise arrived in my inbox just before I was to leave work.  And it’s perfect.  Some great 80’s/90’s era industrial electronica.

If you go into a meeting and wonder, What would MMLTD do in this situation?, assume whatever I would do would have this blaring behind me.

Another theme song ‘managed’.

More to come, folks.  We have a couple more in the works, but we’re still taking requests.

the Really Good Pot Roast - We’ll Come to You (A Theme for Jules)

I have a theme song, and it is brilliant.

genuinely crying, though, about how much I love this. and you guys. thank you. ♥♥♥ xoxoxoxo

Glad you enjoy your theme song.  We had a good time with this one and it came together fairly quickly.  More themes to come.  Stay tuned…

I’m reposting this because I accidentally sent an older mix to Jules originally.  Now that she’s updated her post with the final version of the song I figure I’d fix ours.

It is a really good thing I am alone right now because the happy dance I am doing might be construed by strangers as a fit. BECAUSE I HAVE A FUCKING THEME SONG PEOPLE.

Courtesy of The Really Good Pot Roast.  You guys are the fucking best.  

Back up haters, enjoy the Cuntitude because I took the O out of Cuntry.

Another theme song in the books.  This is about as country as we get, folks.

I have a theme song now, courtesy of the incredibly talented gentlemen from The Really Good Pot Roast.

Let’s be honest, this is funky as hell. Their inspiration was that this would be the song that would play at the beginning of my late night talk show. They nailed it.

Now, excuse me while I go dress up like Bootsy Collins and dance around the house to this for the remainder of the day.

As the final horn sounds, you should hear Ralph in your head say, “Welcome to Helm’s Deep. I’m your host.”

My motherfuckin’ theme music!

Written, played, and rocked the fuck out by Rob and Mark, also known as the Really Good Pot Roast. (the raddest pot roast ever)

AKA THE GREATEST DUDES ON THE PLANET, WHO ALSO DID THE THEME MUSIC FOR A CERTAIN LADY OF A CERTAIN HOUSE! If you don’t already know, I cannot help you.

You guys seriously made my day/month/year

Listen for it. It’s so rad. You’ll know when you hear it.

How awesome is this?

There *might* have been alcohol involved.

It was a good day in the studio.

I now have a theme song.  Always wanted one of those.  Mr. Of The House heard my regional dialect meme, got together with a friend, and did this.  Please to Enjoy, The House Band (et moi) playing, Lived, Loved, Been Around.

(Actually, the husband-like appendage and his friend make up the dual city band, The Really Good Pot Roast.)

-TLOTH

This is one of my favorites from the dialect / accent meme.  It’s a song. It’s brilliant.

Weeping.

This is the most beautiful thing I have ever heard.

I am pissing myself laughing.

You.  Or y’all.

Machine - The Really Good Pot Roast

I’ve had the chorus and general chord progression for this song kicking around my head a little while now.  FAWM seemed like a good motivator for us to finish writing and draft a demo together.  I scratched out rough demo, passed it to Rob, and he brought it home.

I wanted this to be a simple, energetic, 3 chord rocker.  Something loud and fun.  I’m a fan of ow this came together.  The lyrics are lighter than a lot of our other music and that’s always a victory for us.  A bit of a nod to Jonathan Coulton in terms of content, as it’s a love song by a robot.  Click here for the song page and lyrics.

There’s clean up work to be done, but this is a good draft for FAWM.  We’re starting to scratch out the track list for our next album, and this is a candidate.

As always, we hope you enjoy.  And if you like writing or performing music, there’s still time left to join us for FAWM!

Mark Dabney - The Coffee Song (NSFW)

I’ve been on the road a lot recently.  One day this past week had me completely exhausted, both physically and mentally.  I had 2 cups of coffee before I could shower.  Another before I left my hotel, then a few Starbucks trips throughout the day.

I wrote the lyrics for this on the back of the receipt for my 3rd Starbucks of the day.  When my meetings were done, I framed out the chords using ‘ChordPro’ on my android tablet, then recorded some vocal melody ideas.

I recorded this version this morning using some of the ChordPro materials from my tablet, and a fuller arrangement.

NSFW because I curse in the song.  A lot.  Because coffee is fucking awesome.

Come join us for February Album Writing Month.
