Name: Desktop Pop
Duration: P00H03M53S
Description: Social commentary on DIY sequencer music. This is the only track on the "Blast Off!" EP without guitars. The sounds and talking at the beginning of the song are deliberate. The bridge solo is musical material taken from on of MC Tourettes' and AndySocial's pre-Tinnitis songs, "The Ballad of Edward Scissorhands", which in turn is the melody from Black Friday's "Frozen Ghost".

lyrics

Who needs a multi-million studio
When it's costing me a hundred dollars or below
A tape recorder with condenser microphone
And a Casio keyboard are all that I own

A click of a mouse
A press of a button
Composing hot tracks
And it's costing me nuttin'

CHORUS:
Desktop Pop
Desktop Pop (4x)

The drum loop is synced to a droning bassline
And I manage to write lyrics that happen to rhyne
Repeat the same notes again and again
and again and again
But be sure to program them to change now and then

Don't have to be clever
Don't have to be witty
It's okay if it sounds
Like a Windows-based MIDI

CHORUS
You don't need some kind of music degree
Just a sequencer manual and reading ability
i pressed all the right buttons, and oh, by the by
I'll tell my good friend Grammy that you said hi.

Don't need talent
Don't need wit
Don't matter if it sounds
Terrible

CHORUS
