So a couple of weekend’s ago, while searching for something completely unrelated in my mess of really haphazard and unorganized folders (if only my shit at home were as in shape as that at work) I came across a parody tune I had written and produced from 13 years ago, something that I had forgotten about.
It was at the time that I was co-hosting a morning show at a Hudson Valley radio station and right around when "Intelligent Design" hit the news cycle in the way of a few court stories at the time. Some schools trying to use the more scientific sounding name as a way to sneak creationism into the classroom. I thought then, well, Dire Straits and their tune "Industrial Disease" seems to fit the bill.
It had it’s warts, believe me, as my production skills were severely limited back then but revisiting it brought me a fond remembrance of those times and a smile. Who's to argue with something that can do that these days? Plus, I’ll give myself credit on the lyrics. I called it “Intelligent Disease”.
I also though, at the same time, thought that maybe I should update the lyrics and do a new a version of the song, something more current? Plus my production skills have improved a bit over the years. So I did, still to Dire Straits’ “Industrial Disease” of course, and came up with a new tune for the Trump Treehouse of Tall Stories, Treason & Tryanny at my blog, Frankenberry’s Attic ... this “Trumpian Design”.
A little ditty about what is going on right now in congress and the impeachment fun.
Now, to post the tunes, on facebook and my blog, I built a very simple Windows Movie Maker video (yes I still have dinosaur moments) as the video isn’t really all that important, just the tune and it helps to follow along with the lyrics anyway.
So the link to the new one, including said lyrics, is just above.
Cheers all.
