Beatnik Turtle's Encore Song Of The Day

If you really owned a Rocket Ship, the music that you'd play in it would probably not sound like this song at all.

Sex. Drugs. Rock and roll. Beatnik Turtle is a band that gets none of those right.

WARNING! WARNING! WARNING! THERE IS A BASSOON LOOSE ON THE SHIP.

Well? Didn't you get the memo?

We'll all get old someday...

This is a live version of the original on The Cheapass Album. We also recorded a strange "operatic" version a month back.

Originally written and recorded for a music class assignment in 1989, Tom revived this song and reproduced this version for The Song Of The Day. The addition of Randy's saxophone and Tom Susala's fretless bass made this a serious improvement over the original.

This is the demo to a song from our Cheapass Album about the Cheapass Game, Buttonmen. The dance remix of this song was previously posted here.

Happy No Pants Day! Beatnik Turtle had taken to wearing no pants long before we learned about No Pants Day. They asked if they could post this song (which takes Robert Goulet's bloated version of "To Dream The Impossible Dream" as its inspiration). No pants Day is certainly a cause that we wholeheartedly support. In fact, we're looking to start a "Pants Day" for those who take the holiday too far and continue to wear no pants throughout the year we always do.

All of you probably know someone who needs to hear this song. The original studio version is on our "un-holiday" album Santa Doesn't Like You. This one is from our recent Beatnik Turtle Live album.

Daaaaave. Come out, come out, wherever you are.

Ummm. We forgot what we wanted to say about this song.

Based on an email Jason received.

Back in the mid-80s there was a kick-ass TV drama that followed a team of suburban policemen. It was based on the tough, crime-laden streets of Naperville, Illinois. And this was its theme...

We'd apologize to the residents of Columbia, South Carolina, but we know they're not on the web.

Happy Arbor Day! Now go plant a tree!

There's lots of ways to get back at people for cheating at boardgames. Jason, naturally, wrote a song about it.

Aptly inspired by Jason's infrared mouse. The original demo version is today's bonus song. Enjoy - both songs are wireless and free.

We're not cat people.

Dedicated to all those who take the CTA - the Chicago Transit Authority. It's a mess.
