The James Allenspach Songbook

Hey, happy Podapalooza! This episode comes out in the middle of the Coronavirus epidemic, in celebration of the virtual podcast festival Podapalooza. This my version of a charity single, and is a response to the odd fact that, after Band-Aid sang "Feed the world" in their single, USA for Africa sang "We are the world". Makes you think!

Ha you thought I was done with the Pokerface and the thing and the hey hey.

I sincerely apologize for whatever you are about to hear. In my defense I can only say that I have to get this nonsense out of my head so that my wife doesn't hear it every day for the rest of our lives.

I did a couple of new James Bond songs in the previous season, so here's another one! I can't imagine why I haven't been called by the James Bond people yet to sing a new theme for the next movie...

Three fourths of a classic public domain song!

Hey this is one of those songs that appears to have no origins. So whatever.

One of those melodies that I got from a dream. There have been a couple of these, which I will post in later seasons.

Recorded live on the campus of Northwestern University in Evanston, Illinois! Another use of the versatile "Spiderman" melody, this song is my tribute to the beautiful men and women of the great South. I think.

I think I dreamt this song, or it just came to me pretty quickly. I soon realized that it's a rewrite of the song "I've Been Everywhere" but by then it was far too late.

Inspired by a Lifehacker article with the title "How to wean your baby off the Rock 'n' Play". Some songs just write themselves, you know?
