Help me get to 500,000,000 page views on YouTube!


Check out the current Happy Tree Friends Halloween Episode. I’ve written the music for this one and bunch of other funny, twisted episodes. Right now the material I worked on is at 298,000,000. But please don’t show kids – it’s violent!

Here is a page with a rough live recording, lyric pages and sheet music.

Have you noticed that some of these questions seem rhetorical, but they answer them anyway? Yes, they do. Have you ever stopped to realize that these politicians are saying a lot of words, and they make it seem like they are really trying to answer questions truthfully, but are really just talking, and talking without saying anything at all, and continuing on, and on without end and they might even sound sincere with their device of asking a different question, in order to avoid answering the first question, until you realize you don’t remember what they start answering, or asking in the first place, and you wish you hadn't even asked anything?
