Episode 49: Funny Music

Hi, and welcome to the Open Licensed Music Podcast, the show where we highlight music from artists who let you share their music.  I'm Ralph Wacksworth, and today's episode is featuring funny music, all of which has lyrics.

Quantum Entanglement (2:36) - The FuMP - BandCamp
AA Battery Controlled Telescopic Knife (3:33)
Love and Romance Game (3:03) - Jamendo - Internet Archive
You Might Be (4:29)
It's F***ing Cold Outside (edited) (1:29)

That was Quantum Entanglement by Glen Raphael, which is available from The Funny Music Project or his BandCamp website.  While you're at it check out some of his other songs on his BandCamp site - he's got some really hilarious stuff on there.  After that was AA Battery Controlled Telescopic Knife by Look Left, which is available from The Funny Music Project.  Then we had Love and Romance Game by Mind Cabaret, which used to be available from Jamendo but is now available at The Internet Archive.  Next up was You Might Be by Insane Ian, which is available from The Funny Music Project.  Finishing up was a maybe just a wee bit censored version of It's F***ing Cold Outside by Fortress of Attitude, which is available from The Funny Music Project.  All five songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.

As of right now, when I'm putting this episode together, that song's currently hilariously relatable, however from the weather it's looking like by the time this airs it'll be a bit warmer.  Regardless, I don't normally like to play songs that I have to heavily censor, but that song was such a humdinger I figured it was worth censoring anyway.  I try to keep this podcast pretty much squeaky clean.  Hope you enjoyed it.

Kittens for Sale (2:45)
Firm Thighs (2:08)
Sprinkles On My Donut (4:30)
Autocomplete (Featuring Worm Quartet) (edited) (4:43)
I Love Doritos (2:05)

That was Kittens for Sale by TV's Kyle, which is available from The Funny Music Project.  After that was Firm Thighs by Fuzzy Logic, which is available from Jamendo. Then we had Sprinkles On My Donut by Art Paul Schlosser, which is available from The Funny Music Project Sideshow.  And, yeah, pretty much all of his songs are like that.  Next up was a somewhat edited version of Autocomplete (Featuring Worm Quartet) by Devo Spice, which is available from The Funny Music Project.  And finishing up was I Love Doritos by Todd Chappelle, which is available from The Funny Music Project Sideshow.  All five songs in this set are licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.

Today's app-of-the-day is Mozilla Thunderbird, an e-mail client program.  It has functionality for checking, organizing, and sending e-mail from multiple providers and has a ton of plugins available which allow you to add even more functionality to it.  One plugin in particular I like is called Lightning, which adds calendar functionality.  It's very easy to use, easy to install, and is free and open source.  It's available for Linux, OS/2, OpenSolaris and OpenIndiana, BSD, Mac OS X, and Microsoft Windows.  Download it today from mozilla.org/thunderbird

Now for a short noncommercial break from one of our nonsponsors, followed by more music.  And as a heads-up, the first song in the next set is a really hard to locate joke that, if you get it, is hilarious, but if you miss or otherwise can't understand the first couple words it won't make any sense.  The joke is explained afterward, but keep your ears peeled.

The FuMP
Lorem Ipsum (4:33)
Free Water (edited) (4:21)
Best Game Ever (edited) (4:31)
T.F.O.S. (2:35)
The New Me (edited) (3:30)

That was an edited version of Podcast Promo by The FuMP, which is available from The Funny Music Project and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  After that was Lorem Ipsum by kerrymarsh, which is available from SoundCloud and is licensed under an Attribution license.  Those of you with design experience may have recognized that they were singing filler text called Lorem Ipsum.  Anyway, then we had a slightly edited version of Free Water by Redbox and the Chilipeppers, which is available from The Funny Music Project and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  Now, you'd think this'd be common sense, but based on conversations with some people, please don't do that.  Someone has to pay for your utility usage, be it water, gas, electricity, or otherwise and if it's not you it's just going to be made up for in your costs somewhere else eventually. Rant aside, next up was a slightly edited version of Best Game Ever by Mikey Mason, which is available from The Funny Music Project and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  After that was T.F.O.S. by Eoghnved Mmrkuudnen, which is available from The Funny Music Project Sideshow and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.  And finishing up was an edited version of The New Me by Dino-Mike, which is available from The Funny Music Project and is licensed under an Attribution Noncommercial Share-Alike license.

So, that's all for today.  Remember - piracy of commercial music only proves your dependence on that model and justifies further censorship and restriction.  So don't pirate it - replace it with something better.  Listen to open licensed music, donate to the artists behind it, go to concerts, and buy music from artists whose record labels don't see you as their enemies.  Support artists where your support actually counts.
