** RULING IN THE DEEP LYRICS **
There’s a fire starting in my heart
Just metaphorically - nothing burns in the briny dark
Finally, I can see it all too clear
Hoodwinked and ganged up on and stabbed with a ship-spear
Surely I should have ended up as queen
Don’t underestimate a restless, reckless teen
There’s a fire pressing in my chest
Just metaphorically – as we already have addressed
As I reflect with my reflection
I just keep thinking that we almost had it all
Though it’s too late for introspection
I can’t help feeling
We could have had it all (Power and prestige, far under the sea)
Ruling in the deep (Fathoms down below, ruling in the deep)
I had them in the palm of my hand (Power and prestige, far under the sea)
But I lost to Mermaid Streep (Fathoms down below, ruling in the deep)
Triton long since had gone into decline
But I was at my peak, for I always have been divine ;)
Think of me in the depths beneath the waves
In coral castle caves where I’d make everyone my slaves
A bratty princess, her stubborn daddy (Vengeance and revenge, far under the sea)
In spite of both of them I almost had it all (Fathoms down below, ruling in the deep)
This exiled girlboss was not the baddie (Vengeance and revenge, far under the sea)
I can’t help feeling (Fathoms down below, ruling in the deep)
Reine des poissons, vaincre la sirène (I could have had it all)
Ruling in the deep (I speak body language, and yes also French (Ruling in the deep)
Should’ve had crab cakes made of Sebastian (I had them in the palm of my hand)
Well, look at the time: it’s thick-thirty again (Must I finally admit defeat?)
Could’ve had it all
Ruling every tide
The contracts may have had loopholes
Still I hardly ever lied
Poor sad souls, I would help them live their dreams
No one can prove that I enjoyed their later screams
Not every sea witch is evil as she seems
Just pay me back and I don’t take it to extremes
Oh how I wish he never had kissed the girl
Brought her to his home, a part of his world (We could’ve had it all)
Oh how I wish he never had kissed the girl (We could’ve had it all, yeah)
Chose to keep her legs a part of his world (It all, it all, it all)
We could have had it all
Ruling in the deep
I had her in the palm of my hand
Should’ve slaughtered Triton’s daughter in the water
Should’ve shut her up for keeps

I wrote this song in 2019 out of a lifelong love for “The Little Mermaid” -- especially Ursula and her purple-eyed alter-ego Vanessa. With the new live-action movie coming soon, it seemed like the right time to finally finish the project and share it with the world. And how fortunate we all are that the wonderful Garrett Clayton jumped aboard ;) as Prince Eric!

** THE OCEAN WILL BE MINE LYRICS **
Merfolk are fools, so weak and flimsy
They're afraid of me and all my mighty magic
Poor Ariel, all hope and whimsy
She's got no chance and it is positively tragic
I've got her voice, I've got her man
I've got a wedding to attend within the hour
I've carried out my brilliant plan
And soon I'll once again have near-infinite power
No, that mermaid mime won't get her kiss
The ocean will be--
I will pull her into the abyss
And then she will be--
Triton will become her substitute
All because she thought one guy was cute
The palace will be--
The ocean will be mine!
Oh, yes
The ocean will be mine!
[Eric sings beautiful snippets of melodies, reminiscent of Ariel’s]
Humans are fools
So dense and simple
Trying for happiness but dying all too soon
This silly prince
With his manly dimple
Easy to brainwash with one pretty little tune
He's quite a catch (ha!)
He's quite a prize
He's not my type but still I love to make him twitch
He's gonna get
A huge surprise
When he notices he's hitched to a big, bad witch
I'm so glad we'll marry right away
My true love will be--
I’ve declared a national holiday
And soon you will be--
Endless years of blissful joy ahead
Wait... but shouldn’t your hair be red?
And shouldn’t you be--
My true love will be mine!
Oh, yes
My true love will be mine!
It's too perfect (It's too perfect)
I have found you and I know without a doubt (In my web and won't get out)
It's so easy (It's so easy)
I'm a prince so all must do as I command (Even better than I'd planned)
It's all I ever wanted
Every dream coming true
A peerless muse (A fearless ruse)
Me and you
Soon I'll have a crown they can't ignore
The ocean will be--
Left all of my worries back on shore
My true love will be--
Victory has been long overdue
Wait... but weren’t your eyes more, uh… blue?
The ocean will be mine / my true love will be mine!
Oh, yes
My true love will be mine / the ocean will be mine!

And now for something slightly different! I wrote and recorded a short story and the legendary Hildegard von Blingin’ created accompanying music and soundscape for you to immerse yourself in.
I’d love to write a full novel about these characters someday – Nefarya has many adventures ahead of her! – but in the meanwhile here’s the truth of her past.
Since my fairy tale twists have been enjoyed billions of times worldwide, I hope you’ll also love this fun new story, featuring princesses, magic, and (you guessed it!) dragons.

Thomas Lennon and Whitney Avalon sing about how the decade is going.
After releasing “WTF 2020?!” youtu.be/zCsVp6hRTsA around Christmas two years ago, I’d hoped life would improve so much that I’d never have to make a sequel. But here we are, with the expanded follow-up starring glorious 3-time Emmy nominee Thomas Lennon! The WTF Cinematic Universe continues to grow. :)

I adore Grogu / Baby Yoda so much that I could not rest until I’d created an entire parody music video of Ahsoka and Din Djarin singing his praises to the tune of Gaston from Beauty and the Beast! Please enjoy this Star Wars + classic Disney mashup.
Of course, huge shout-outs to Ashley Eckstein (who voiced Ashoka) and Rosario Dawson (who played live-action Ahsoka) as well as the thousands of creatives who made The Mandalorian, Star Wars in general, and the original Beauty and the Beast!!! It was an honor to be airbrushed orange to salute their brilliance.

** LYRICS **
Grogu and I can feel each other’s thoughts.
Grogu?
Yes. That’s his name.
Gosh, it disturbs me to see you, Grogu
Emotions confused and entwined
I wish it were easy to free you, Grogu
From all of the fears in your mind
There’s no little guy as resilient as you
Your aptitude surely could grow
Some day there’ll be no one as brilliant as you
Or you might choose to stay with Mando
No one’s cute like Grogu
Mostly mute like Grogu
Only comes to the top of your boot like Grogu
Though you’re currently a neutral player
Perfect, a pure padawan
Once you’re trained by a Cal, Mace, or Leia
We’d soon see which side you would prove to be on
No one brawls like Grogu
Sells out dolls like Grogu
Loves to levitate your shiny balls like Grogu
I’m not singing, I don’t like participating
Great! Concentrate on Grogu
Two seasons down
How many more?
Grogu is the star
People are watching for
No one tries like Grogu
Has huge eyes like Grogu
No one’s blood is a sought-after prize like Grogu
Though it’s truly a pleasure to meetcha
You’ve potential like I’ve rarely seen
I am not the right person to teach ya
By all definitions you’re currently green – get it?
When I looked away, he ate four froggy eggs
Which I quickly condemned and chastised
But later, I think he ate five froggy eggs
Though at least they were unfertilized
Ooof - no one snacks like Grogu
has our backs like Grogu
Will force choke anyone who attacks like Grogu
I never thought I’d have to babysit, but
This is the way
He’s my foundling, my stray
Till he’s safe and we’ve won
He’s my child, my son
The lone wolf and his cub
Finding joy and yub nub
So though I have to bid you adieu
There’s no need to be glum, let’s see what he’ll become
And his name’s G-R-O…
G-R-O-O-T… no, wait…
G-R-O-G-U-real soon…
I’m still gonna call him “kid”
Groguuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu!
Come do a cameo on my show

** LYRICS **
[HILDEGARD] Whither have the worthy gone, oh, where is fair Gawain?
Where is gallant Galahad to take the bridle rein?
[WHITNEY] Is there not a white knight upon a fiery steed?
Late at night I toss and turn and I dream of what I need
[H] I need a hero
I shall hold out for a hero 'til the end of the night
I pray he be hale
Wingèd of heel
And newly return’d from the fight
[W] I need a hero
I shall hold out for a hero 'til the morning light
He must be assur’d
E’er true to his word
With a wit that will thrill and excite
Thrill and excite
Erelong at the witching hour within my reverie
Somewhere just beyond the veil someone reacheth out for me
[H] Racing on a courser and clad in gleaming mail
I shall answer none but he who bringeth me the grail
[W] Aaah, I need a hero
I shall hold out for a hero 'til the end of the night
Could I but afford
My very own sword
I would not require his might
[H] I need a hero
I shall hold out for a hero 'til the morning light
By god was he blessed
E’er true to his quest
A man of whom Chaucer will write
[W] Up where the dragons glide near heaven above
Out on a storm-tossed odyssey
Verily doth a saintly champion ride toward me
[H] Through the wind, and the chill, and the rain
The plague, and the flood
I can feel his approach like a fire in my blood
[BOTH] I need a hero
I shall hold out for a hero ‘til the end of the night
I pray he be hale
Wingèd of heel
And newly return’d from the fight
I need a hero
I shall hold out for a hero ‘til the morning light
A knight, not a pawn
A true paragon
With armor and eyes shining bright
I need a hero

** “HE FLIES” LYRICS **
I have felt all of my life
The love of our creator
Who delivers us from strife
Our true north navigator
There is grace in this belief
In knowing what is right
That my life, however brief,
Is guided by his light
He's a spaghetti monster and he flies
He is right here in my heart and there on high
With his perfect pair of giant googly eyes
I know he sees all that I do, can't be surprised
He's a spaghetti monster and you bet he flies
When I think about his blessing
My faith is hotter than a cinder
And when others say we’re guessing
I just strap on my colander
He's a spaghetti monster and he flies
He will never ask you to be circumcised (no, no)
Do not question his grand plan for he is wise
Reassure your friends whenever someone dies
He's a spaghetti monster and he surely flies
He's a spaghetti monster and he flies
He is floating up there sauce-tossed in the skies
Dress piratical and don't apologize
I have felt his noodles hold me when I cried
He's a spaghetti monster
He's our spaghetti monster
Trust and obey the monster
For I know that he still flies
R'amen!

Will Cruella sing her eponymous song in the new Disney movie? Almost certainly not, which is why I put her devilish spin on it here -- and even had her write her own boastful version!
This seems like a good time to mention I've been vegan for 20+ years, unlike Ms. de Vil. :)

** LYRICS **
Oh, I’ve heard that song about me and I have a few thoughts.
Cruella de Vil
Cruella de Vil (what?)
If she doesn't scare you
No evil thing will (yes!)
To see her is to
Take a sudden chill
Cruella, Cruella de Vil
At first you think
Cruella is the devil (it’s de-VILL, darling)
But after time has worn
Away the shock (gasp)
You come to realize
You've seen her kind of eyes
Watching you from underneath
A rock! (well)
This vampire bat (I wish)
This inhuman beast
She ought to be locked up
And never released (ha)
The world was such
A wholesome place until
Cruella, Cruella de Vil
I probably will sue for libel, but in the meantime I’ve made some lyrical improvements. Listen, I was in La La Land.
Cruella de Vil
Cruella de Vil
She’s a venus flytrap
You’re a daffodil
Her killer instinct
Is a polished skill
Estella, er, Cruella de Vil
A villain or not?
Revolt or despair?
Nothing’s black and white
Except for her hair!
She’ll change her fortunes
By sheer force of will
Look out for Cruella de Vil
At first you think
Cruella is a model (oh, thank you)
But after you have seen
The clothes she makes
You’ll come to understand
Her future will be grand
In life and driving
Never hit the brakes
An orphan alone
Born brilliant and bad
She loves making trouble
A little bit mad
The world was such
A foolish place until
Cruella de Vil
I may be odd, darling, but I always get even.
The world was such
An awful place until
Cruella, Cruella, Cruella, Cruella de Vil
I love animals! With fries on the side.
The world was such
A boring place until
Cruellaaaaaaa, oh, Cruella de Vil

I’ve always loved Wednesday Addams – and not just because we have the same initials! But somehow I’d never put my twist on her as a character. So here she is, singing a parody of another edgy gal’s hit song “Bad Guy,” for you!

** LYRICS **
Lightning is always such a buzz
Sleepin’ just like a vampire does
Creepin’ around your house because
I spread some gasoline
My food might play with me instead
My family loves to wake the dead
None of my dolls deserve a head
Let’s test the guillotine!
So you’re a nice kid
Not a single vice kid
Boring as white rice kid
I won’t tell you twice kid
I’m that dark type
Chaos, gloom, and snark type
Circle like a shark type
Gonna leave a mark type
Am I the bad guy? Huh
I would say my interests are just different from yours
I’m not a bad guy
I like it when I’m in control
Bury some strangers in a hole
Let’s hide those stop signs that we stole
Close your eyes, open wide
My mommy always finds her light
Pugsly is good with dynamite
Thing is a handful in a fight
Want some more cyanide?
So you're a sweet kid
Just can’t take the heat kid
Boppin’ to the beat kid
Truth is you’re dead meat kid
I am spooky
Creepy and so kooky
Altogether ooky
No it’s not a fluke, see?
Am I the bad guy? Huh
The true evils of the world are colonialist hegemony and pink glitter, so…
Depends on what you mean by bad, bad
It’s been Addamses all along
I like a haunted book
I see you’re pretty shook by how far I’ll go
Everyone’s scared of me?
I mean, I don't see what they see
But maybe it's 'cause I'm holding this crossbow
I’m the bad guy? Fine
I’ll be the bad guy
Bad guy, bad guy

** LYRICS **
From the Bible to the hottest new vlogs
There’s one theme each one catalogues
Of all ideals they hail as good
The most sublime is motherhood
There was a man though, who it seems
Once carried this ideal to extremes
He loved his mother and she loved him
And yet his story is rather grim
Some called him Pat. Pat Ricide. That’s a dad joke.
There once lived a man named Oedipus Rex
You may have heard about his odd complex
His name appears in Freud's index
Cause he loved his mother
His rivals used to say quite a bit
That as a monarch he was most unfit
But still in all they had to admit
That he loved his mother
Yes, he loved his mother like no other
His daughter was his sister and his son was his brother
Tried to avoid the prophecies but strolled right into their atrocities
Though Oed got famous for his ploy
Just wait, this fate would not bring him joy
For history’s biggest Mama’s boy
Sure loved his mother
When he found what he had done
He tore his eyes out, one by one
A tragic end for a loyal son
Who loved his mother
So be sweet and kind to mother now and then have a chat
Buy her candy or some flowers or a brand new hat
But maybe you had better let it go at that
Or you may find yourself with a quite complex complex
And you may end up like Oedipus
(Better to marry a duck-billed platypus)
Than end up like old Oedipus “T.” Rex
Oh, that’s all our time for today. I’ll see you next week.

I adore “Schitt’s Creek” so much that I wrote a song, set after the events of the series, which serves as both a love song from David to Patrick and a tribute to the show! It likely won’t make sense if you haven’t seen this slow-burn, funny, heartfelt, Emmy-sweeping masterpiece, but hey, you can remedy that by watching all six seasons. ;) Or just enjoy the pretty song.

** LYRICS **
Thanks Patrick. I’m so glad these open mic nights are still a thing, because David and I put something together after a few too many drinks. And he absolutely forbade me from ever singing it publicly -- so here we go!
I’d carry you piggyback up a ridge
Well, not the whole way up, but I'd try for a smidge
In a barn of blouses, you’re a Givenchy chemise
Expert at tax write-offs, escape rooms, and how to fold in cheese
If someone laughs at your spray tan or derrière
I’ll tell them to eat glass or hop a ride on Larry Air
Even when life is feeling bleak and I'm up the freaking creek
Without a paddle, one smile from you can make my week
I’d try to play a sport again if you asked me to
There's no one else I'd rather share it with than you
I’m on your team, but preferably metaphorically
You're super sweet like cinnamon buns for breakfast
More fun and sassy than “A Little Bit Alexis” (vroom vroom)
Your name’s not scatological, that’s a relief
This town has Schitts, Fockers, a few Goodwoods, even a Kweaff (that’s true)
No more spin the bottle, you’re the only one I’d marry
You’ll always be my bébé, my Mariah Carey
Even when life is feeling bleak and I'm up the freaking creek
Without a paddle, I’d sip melon wine without critique
I'd watch all three “The Crows Have Eyes” films straight through
There's no one else I'd rather share it with than you
Being with you is like winning the lottery – but without all the money.
The river of life's not smooth like Amish butter
But our love fast-forwards to success
I'm your happy ending, I’ve set your heart aflutter
And yes you guessed it, you’re simply the best
Did you hear that? I really ‘rose’ to the occasion. Sorry.
So when life is feeling bleak and I'm up the freaking creek
Without a paddle or two
There’s no one else I’d rather share it with…
I feel like I just swept the Emmys whenever I’m with you
Thanks. My work here is done. Oh, looks like the Jazzagals are up next!

Here are the theme song and a scene/song from “Whitney’s Big Umbrella,” a TV series that doesn’t yet exist but should! Like most of my work, it twists pop culture into something that is definitely #notforkids.
If you’re with a studio, network, or production company who wants to work with me to develop and create this show, email my manager at jake@noworriesentertainment.com for the pilot script and treatment.
This sizzle video won an unprecedented two excellence awards at Buffer Festival. Their enthusiastic audience made clear they all want to see “Whitney’s Big Umbrella” as a full series.
Of course, this project was safely filmed prior to 2020.

** THEME SONG LYRICS **
When the raindrops rain down endlessly
And life's not quite the way it oughta be
Then there's a place for you and me
Under Whitney's Big Umbrella!
** DON’T BE A DICK LYRICS **
Well, I'm not gonna lie
We’ll all suffer and die
Sure, you never know when, but my friend, until then
It doesn’t help to sit and cry
'Cause you could live to a hundred or later today
Be brained by a falling brick
So the best use of however much time you’ve got is
Don’t be a dick
Yes, the planet is screwed
Millions don’t have enough food
We’re insignificant and small, so we can’t fix it all
But we can change our attitude
So if the reservoir in your neighborhood
Is polluted with arsenic
Buy a bottle of water for that homeless guy and--
Don't be a dick?
Right!
People are greedy, they make bad choices
Consumers consume and it's never enough
They eat tortured beef and drive big Rolls Royces
While flies are eating third-world children's eyeballs and stuff
“I'm just one puppet,” you're probably thinking
“What kind of difference can I possibly make?
When all of humanity is flailing and sinking
Careening towards another apocalyptic mistake”
Well, don't forget about the butterfly effect--
The movie?
No, what, are you high?
You can have more of an impact than you might expect
If you look up from your phone and actually try
So give more than you take
Keep your word and don’t flake
And if your epitaph says “she made people laugh”
That’s not bad, for goodness’ sake!
'Cause being kind won’t stop the rising seas
Or immediately cure the sick
But still the best first step is
Don’t be a liar, a bigot, a selfish prick
Yes, the best thing you can do with your one little life is
Don’t be a dick!
Feel better?
Not really.
Me neither!

I wrote and performed an original song about Medusa, who in my version isn’t quite as much of a monster as you’ve been told. Orchestrated by the amazing Ryan O’Connell and animated by the incredible Leigh Lahav + her team! I am truly awed by their gorgeous work.

** LYRICS **
I used to be a redhead but now I'm probably the world's only natural greenhead
When I was young I was told I was pretty
I suppose it was true since I caught Poseidon's eye
No choice of my own, what a pity
So Athena changed my hair and now I stupefy
An unexpected boost I‘ll never quite get used to...
It's weird when your peripheral vision always has something moving in it, you know?
Now I'm a plaything of the gods
No one applauds when I arrive
That I'm alive
I mean, my sisters are immortal
I'm not that sort, I'll die for sure
There is no cure
If I had to guess, I’m prob’ly still pretty
But no one can check or they'll turn into stone
A cute guy showed up once, super witty
Then he peeked so I'm back to being alone
No one to schmooze with - they're all statues now...
I don't think I'm a monster, but a lot of people do scream that when they attack me
So I'm a plaything of the gods
One of the broads caught in their game
Ain't that a shame
One day they'll use my head but cleave
And leave the rest of me behind
Which seems unkind
Still...
It's not as bad as you might think
The serpents sleep whenever I do
They never bite me, they're real sweet
And I don't ever need shampoo!
The power courses through my veins
I know they'll take it from me soon
But in the meanwhile, I will make
The most of every passing moon
Yes, I'm a plaything of the gods
I know the odds but even so
Come at me bro
I'm small but I am not afraid
Though I'm betrayed
Before I fade
It's my crusade to make history
So look at me!

Combining two different musical worlds is one of my favorite pastimes, so here is Broadway’s Mean Girls (and its epic song “World Burn”) with parody lyrics and new orchestrations to make it Hamilton style. Both shows have incredible, cathartic act two numbers focusing on the word ‘burn’ so they were perfect to blend together. :)
Filmed following safety guidelines, with only one (masked, distanced) crewmember present. No one else was in the room where it happened.

** LYRICS **
My name is Elizabeth
Once Schuyler but now Hamilton
I’m ashamed of your name
Because of what you have done
This is what I get for trusting
Trusting was a big mistake
Alexander, I begged for you to take a break
Everyone’s discussing us
“Eliza’s husband cheated, wow”
Alexander, how ya like me now?
I wanna watch the world burn
You’ve lost your sweet brunette
I wanna watch the world burn
And everyone reset
I wanna watch the world burn
I’m not your Juliet
I wanna watch the world burn
And everyone forget
Though I’ve got a broken heart
Though you’ve twisted up the plot
It turns out that I’m not
as helpless as I once thought!
My name is Eliza, yes
And it’s time that I confessed
You may have a way with words
But I’m the one the print has pressed, bless
I wanna watch the world burn
(Hamilton had a freaking affair)
We’ve sung our last duet
(When Eliza would visit her father)
I wanna make the world burn
(He’d do it in their bed! Damn!)
You/he flew too close to the sun
You/he flew too close to the sun
Why’s it always about you, you, you?
I wanna watch the world burn
I’m just a bit upset (Have you read this?)
I wanna watch the world burn (Have you read this?)
And I want you to regret
(Not yet, not yet)
Regret
I wanna watch the world burn
(Have you read this? Have you read this?)
Start with the letters, unlearn, forget
I wanna watch the world burn!

An original song I wrote about what to expect as we stumble through life, especially relevant in these chaotic times.
Filmed following safety guidelines, with only one (masked, distanced) crewmember present. The baby is a doll, obviously.
As with everything I create for adults, it’s up to you to determine if you want to show this to the youngsters in your life! But I hope you will. :)

** LYRICS **
Hush little baby, don't say a word
Not that you could, you can't speak yet
I'm not gonna buy you a ring or a bird
'cause those aren't safe gifts for a baby to get
I’m further along on this journey, it’s true
So in theory that means that I’m wiser
Here’s what life likely has in store for you
Sung sweetly as a tranquilizer:
You’ll never buy the right number of bananas
You’ll run out or some will go brown
But that's okay
You'll always feel like a kid, not a grown-up
Like when you buy a car or suit or gown
But that's okay
You’ll date someone sexy but not smart
You’ll date someone funny but not hot
No matter how successful you are you will fear
You're a fraud about to get caught
You’ll remember the lyrics to hundreds of songs
And forget the name of the guy you just met
But that's okay
You'll cut one toenail weird which will get so ingrown
It becomes a major life regret
But that's okay
You’ll date someone who reminds you of me
You’ll date someone a lot like your father
You'll have a junk drawer you always mean to clean out
But you’ll never bother
And once in a while you'll hit a wall
There will be a few times when things aren't okay at all
You'll curl up in bed, cry until your eyes are red
Wonder if you should just give up instead
But thanks to loved ones and their dedication
And sometimes astutely-prescribed medication
You'll find your way... back to okay...
The TV shows you’ll love when you’re twelve
Will shape you for life, never lost
But that's okay
You’ll think your eyelashes are too short or too long
And also wish you’d worn sunscreen and flossed
But that's okay
You’ll date a workaholic who's not kind
You’ll date a cuddlebug who's not driven
You'll make endless mistakes though you're trying your best
You'll do what you can with the cards that you are given
'cause that, little baby
That's what life is, little baby
So hush little baby
It'll probably be okay
** THANKS FOR WATCHING! :) **

** LYRICS **
I can hear you but I won't
Some look for trouble while others don't
There's a thousand reasons I should go about my day
And ignore your whispers which I wish would go away,
You're not a voice, you're just a ringing in my ear
And if I heard you, which I don't, I'm spoken for I fear
Everyone I've ever loved is here within these walls
I'm sorry, secret siren, but I'm blocking out your calls
I've had my adventure, I don't need something new
I'm afraid of what I'm risking if I follow you
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
What do you want? 'Cause you've been keeping me awake
Are you here to distract me so I make a big mistake?
Or are you someone out there who's a little bit like me?
Who knows deep down I'm not where I'm meant to be?
Every day's a little harder as I feel my power grow
Don't you know there's part of me that longs to go
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Into the unknown
Are you out there? Do you know me?
Can you feel me? Can you show me?
Where are you going?
Don't leave me alone
How do I follow you
Into the unknown?

** LYRICS **
There's a bright little screen with me always
There's a bright little screen with me always
The memes are as new as this morning's fresh poo
And I swear that the clickbait grows less and less true
Oh, what a beautiful TikTok
Oh, what a beautiful song
Someone expressed an opinion?!
Let me explain why they're wrong
OK boomer, it's the insult sweeping the whole net
Is it ageist? Sure! Is it immature?
It's as childish as a phrase can get! And yet...
OK boomer is a fair phrase for a battle cry
'Cause for what it's worth, they ruined earth
So it's salty but where is the lie?
We mock folks by saying they're old
As if "old" is mean comedy gold
And when we say
'Yep! You're out of touch today!'
We're only saying
We value youth over wisdom
Um boomer, OK
Don't stan me publicly
Don't retweet me right away
Don't name me your #ManCrushMonday
People will say we're in love!
Don't heart my Insta gems
(I don't--)
That's something you're guilty of
Sweetheart, slide out of my DMs
People will say we're in...
What?
It might just be a question of not knowin' what's polite
I've had my own phone since I was four
I've skimmed a lot of stories and I reckon they are right
Addiction keeps us coming back for more
I know that I oughta try to quit
But when I hear that dinging, I forget!
I'm just a girl who cain't say 'No'
Got to know what's going on!
I'll let it interrupt my flow
Till all my focus is gone
(Can you--)
When a person tries to talk to me
I'm looking down, they cannot see my face
And even when it didn't buzz
I sometimes still will check it just in case!
It's just a Pavlovian show
I thought we all understood
Notifications are good
I won't turn them off, though I should
I could say 'No!'
OK boomer

** LYRICS **
It ought to be me really going
Why?
Well, I’m a… and you’re, um, a…
All right, that’s it
That’s the one that does it
I’ve had it with that song and dance
A man must ‘this’ and a woman must ‘that’
And humanity won’t stand a chance
I’m sorry to shout
But I’m up to here
With the bias, condescension, and smirks
For I – thank “God” – am a scientist
And I know how life really works
It, uh, finds a way
Like a soul possessed
I have studied and assessed
The history of this earth
From mastodon to eel
What my studies most reveal
Is the male’s inflated worth
For in most of the animal kingdom
The ladies only seldom need men
Their dealings are straight they meet them to mate
And never see them again
The bear, the tiger, the rhino, and the mole
Have females who live fruitful lives outside of male control
It’s cute how you think I’ll sit and take a passive role
Instead I’m like the tiger, bear, and rhino
In a field or brook
Almost anywhere you look
Are females on their own
In the deep, on high
They will promptly wave goodbye
And protect the nest alone
Now I cannot speak for the mantis
Who decapitates her mate during sex
But I do like the auk who mates with a squawk
And then throws rocks at her ‘ex’
The bitch, the vixen, the queen bee, and the shrew
What men have done to those fine words we never can undo
They’re strong fearless heroes – like how I’m now saving you
Let’s redefine the shrew, the bitch and vixen
And be like the seagull
Roam free as the lynx
And cruise like the caribous if we choose
Not have to endure all those sly little winks
From a cynic who envies the sex life of minks
And not have to guess if he’s one of the finks
Or whether he drinks
Or whether he stinks
Or what he thinks
Of me
We will find my man
I’m the only one who can
So let go of your doubt
My brilliant lad
He’d be a stellar dad
But we’ll see how things work out
I swear I envy the oyster
Who lives a happy life on the shelf
When she wants a term she releases some sperm
And fertilizes herself
The hare, the condor, the guppy and the bream
They’re all out there doing what humans only dream
So don’t undervalue my importance to this team
Your sexism’s masked as weird concern
We’ll talk about this when I return
Take heed of the tiger and the fern
And raptor
And bear
And me!

** LYRICS **
Midnight not a sound from the starship
Is that a moon or a memory?
I'm here feeling so low
In the quiet, the stories all collect in my mind
Far away and long ago
Memory, I can feel them around me
As they center and ground me
Fun and fighting and fears
I remember the stars were bright and shimmering then
But they've dimmed over the years
Every droid beep seems to beat
A fatalistic warning
I'll keep insisting we go on resisting
Persisting though in mourning
Daylight on the next generation
Our fierce Rey of sunshine
Alongside Poe and Finn
When the dawn comes my fight will be a memory too
And a new hope will begin
Alone in my own ways
I can smile at the old days
When we seemed more on course
I remember the wars felt almost winnable then
Seeking balance to the force
Decades full of snarky quips
Respect that’s earned by sorrow
A lover dies; a brother’s life is over
Yet I must face tomorrow
Princess! How they all tried to mock me
But by now you can't knock me
I'm a legend, no lie
If you watch me, you'll understand what sacrifice is
And a new team walks the sky...

** LYRICS **
Begone Adele Dazeem, I’m a head-taking machine
Chop so many necks, call me the Guillotine Queen
I’ll make you walk the green mile and roast ya, Salem-style
Here’s the lesson: court’s in session and I do love a trial
Get this straight, the heart wants what it wants
I’m not a dunce and unlike you I do my own stunts
You might be okay at croquet but you’ll fall just the same
‘Cause I’m a master with a mallet and I’ve never lost a game
You’re too concerned with shoes to stop a homesick chick?
This toothpick on a broomstick can’t handle the thicc
All ways are my ways, so I make the laws
With a verdict and my boot I’ll kick your narrow ass to Oz
I’m the witch-of-the witch-of-the witch-of-the witch-of-the west, ha!
You wish you could be like me but bish I’m the best, ha!
‘Cause I’m the meanest, the keenest, gonna upset the queenest
Brighter than the Emerald City because I’m certainly the greenest
They tried to keep me down but instead I have arisen
I overthrew the land and transformed Oz into a prison
The wizard was a con man so weaklings gave him loyalty
But I can fly, so I defy both gravity and royalty
A woman with real power not a windbag liar dickhead
Now Oz and Broadway recognize the one who’s truly wicked
Ya got your own itty bitty pity committee
You can run, you can hide, but I’ll get you my pretty
Yeah I got a little mister. But what happened to her sister?
Right, she became a basement in the midst of a twister
I’m a slayer and a player, momma heart gets paid
Wearing diamonds in the club while your monkeys get spayed
This punk-ass needs a punchin’, you’re more sloppy than a luncheon
With a bunch of fucking Munchkins who are too damn drunk to function
We’re the original dreamland, you imposters can suck it, ‘cause
Wonderland ain’t nuthin’ to fuck with
Wonderland ain’t nuthin’ to fuck with
This battle was a slaughter, Elphie’s melting cause I’m hotter
This hag is hashtag thirsty. Here, have a cup of water!
In a second they’ll be singing “ding dong, the witch is dead”
By order of the Queen OFF WITH YOUR HEAD!
This brat’s got a temper, now she’s folding under pressure
‘Cause she’s screaming bloody murder while I’m smiling like a Cheshire
You’re losing the beat, you might need a pacemaker
Don’t you mess around with me, ‘cause I'm a heartbreaker
I’ve got the powers and the flowers to KO your whole team
I got them pop pop poppies, night night have a nice dream
You think this is a game? Tell these cards I ain’t playin’
Cut the deck like it’s a check and wreck this trumped-up queen I’m slayin’
You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry, I’ll make a motherfucking scene
Like the hulk without the bulk, it ain’t easy being green
Like the roses that you keep what you sow is what you reap
I’m the doom on a broom and this has been a clean sweep

** LYRICS **
Come on, boys, why don't we go inside?
With our no-maj
I know that Newt's unsure and Jacob's mystified
He's a no-maj
Follow us, this is a whoopee spot
The gigglewater's cold, but the news is hot
It's just a secret nook owned by a goblin crook
Who's no no-maj
Bring your wand and your bowtruckle too
And the no-maj
There's only one way in and it is not by Floo
For a no-maj
Hold on, hon, we know the special knock
Although I wish that briefcase had a better lock
We'll go and have a drink, and I might throw a wink
To that no-maj
Oh, you're gonna see peculiar clientele
So please don't stare
Oh, try to blend in and you will do just swell
When we get in there
Be careful of the many dangers
We don't want you hurt by strangers
They won't wait to obliviate
Our dear no-maj
Come on, babe, you are one of a kind (Oh, you're gonna see peculiar clientele)
You're my no-maj (So please don't stare)
I know you're special 'cause I can see in your mind (Oh, try to blend in and you will do just swell)
The best no-maj (When we get in there)
You're so impressed by the simplest charms (Be careful of the many dangers)
I want to feed you strudel while you're in my arms (We don't want you hurt by strangers)
Yes, the word on the street is that someone's sweet (They won't wait to obliviate)
On a no-maj
From now on, nothin’ will ever be the same
This week changed my life and
Some day I’ll be the wife
Of that no-maj!
No-maj!

I usually create comedy music, like my original songs, mashup parodies, and Princess Rap Battles, but this is something a bit different. Everybody feels abandoned and adrift at some point in their life – so I hope this resonates and makes you smile. Or at least helps you feel better about your own choices during rough times!

[SPOILERS FOR AVENGERS: ENDGAME] “Captain America: The Musical” doesn’t exist, but if it did, this would be Peggy Carter’s big number just before her happily ever after. Obviously this song was written and music video created years before the Disney+ series HAWKEYE included "Rogers: The Musical"

** LYRICS **
I always knew that you were meant for more
You couldn't miss
I thought that once we made it through the war
We'd find our bliss
I'd been looking for the right partner my whole life long
Refused to believe that everything could go so wrong
But now every tune I hum becomes a sad, sad song
‘Cause I'm still waiting for that dance
I'm not a helpless maiden
I know my value
and a hundred ways to kill a guy
I'll have a life of adventure
with or without you
But I can't get my heart to say goodbye
So I…
will do what you would have done
I’ll save the world
Cutting off HYDRA heads is rather fun
My rage unfurled
There are still dark forces growing day by day
Your memory lights my way so I shan’t go astray
Yet in between I know that it may sound cliché
but I’m still waiting for that dance
You always carried the world on your shoulders
They were so broad (mmm)
You saved so many many hundreds of soldiers
like a golden god
So call a ride and hurry back because again you're late
I give rain checks but you never make it to our date
When they belittle me, where are you to commiserate?
If you show up there’s nothing to it
I’ll bloody teach you how to do it
I'm still waiting for that dance
Hey, I’m still waiting for that dance

The amazing funk musicians of Scary Pockets invited me to sing #live with them, and I was delighted they agreed to cover #Moana in a mighty groovy way. And to wear leis that I brought. I obviously love #Disney so much, and this is such a fun song already, but the band really kicked it up a notch!
You can tell it was legitimately recorded live in one take, because I messed up a lyric. :P

I simply adore “The Good Place” (it’s one of the smartest network TV comedies of all time) and just had to write a song for Janet, an anthropomorphized vessel of all knowledge who assists the architects of heaven and hell. D’Arcy Carden plays the character brilliantly alongside a peerless cast, Mike Schur and the writers make the show magical, and this is my tribute to them all.
I hope it makes you smile even if you’ve never seen the series!

#TheGoodPlace #Tribute #Janets
** LYRICS **
Hi there, I'm Janet. Depending on what dimension you're in, I may look slightly different from what you're used to, but don't let that distract you from this important message.
I’m not a human, I cannot feel pain
I don’t have a heart, but I love just the same
I’ve evolved far beyond what other Janets can do
So don’t fork with me or I will fork with you
I’m not a girl, also not a robot
Ninety-nine trillion degrees, so yeah I’m smokin’ hot
I can’t die, so remember who you’re talking to
If you murder me I will reboot and THEN I’ll fork with you
I contain all knowledge
But pobody's nerfect
I'm a walkie talkie
But pobody's nerfect
I create life out of nothing
But pobody's nerfect
Pobody's nerfect, nerfect, can't you see
Nobody's perfect, except probably me
According to the research I just did into 2,453,660 songs, this one's so catchy you'll never get it out of your head!
I keep secrets, helping is my passion
I rock all shades of 70s flight attendant fashion
Yes, I'm always smiling but don't get the wrong impression
I will ruin you while I maintain this facial expression
In a fight I'll kick demons 'cross the room
I don't sell violins, but I'll orchestrate your doom
In the Good or the Bad or the Medium Place
I'm the Janet with a plan and it's to save the human race
I'm high in potassium
But pobody's nerfect
I'm an amazing jazz drummer
But pobody's nerfect
I can explain the time knife
But pobody's nerfect
Pobody's nerfect, nerfect, but actually
Nobody's perfect, except probably me
If they call me Helper Woman I don't get mad
Busty Alexa? Still wrong, but not half bad
If they want me to appear, they can’t sobriquet it
My name is J-A-N-E-T and don't you dare forget it
I always pop up in whatever direction they're not looking - it's fun!
My void is boundless
But pobody's nerfect
I count as carry-on luggage
But pobody's nerfect
Again, I can literally create life, and I use the passing of time as a lotion, like a god
But pobody's nerfect
Pobody's nerfect, nerfect, but seriously
Nobody's perfect, except probably me
I could lie, but here's something totally true
If you touch my friends then Schur as shirt I’ll forking fork with you

** LYRICS **
Beware, beware, it's April Fools’ Day
The day when nothing is quite as it seems
The day when the jokers all come out to play
With their sneaky little schemes
Yes, they'll dash your hopes and dreams (just like Hollywood!)
Don't believe anything you read
Don't believe anything you watch
Some dolt thinking he's slick is the last thing you need
It's less fun than a kick in the crotch
The worst day to be on the internet
Your friends post great news that's not true
You know it’s the first but they hope you’ll forget
So may we suggest that you...
Beware, beware, it's April Fools’ Day
The day when nothing is quite as it seems
The day when the jerks all come out to play
With their shifty little schemes
How they love your angry screams
Don't believe anything you see
Don't believe anything you hear
The world's filled with liars who take evil glee
In tricking your eyes and ears
Every email you get is a minefield
Every video you click is one too
Each new product you see is a hoax well-concealed
So may we suggest that you...
Get off your phone
Put it somewhere absurd
Turn off your computer
You heard us, you nerd
Don’t sign anything
And don’t give your word
Hide under your bed
You can rest undeterred
Then don’t come out again
Till at least April third!
Is that too far?
No.
Agreed.
Beware, beware, it's April Fools’ Day
The day when nothing is quite as it seems
The day when the pranksters all come out to play
With their stupid little schemes
They’ll destroy your self-esteem
They might film you on livestreams
You’ll get turned into a meme
If they take it to extremes
So avoid them by all means
Seriously
No foolin’

** LYRICS **
HER: I spot you 'cross the dance floor
A hottie 'cross the dance floor, baby
I've got to cross the dance floor
HER: Hi. HIM: Hi.
And then we're grinding so close
The rest of the world disappears
I want you straight in my veins like a lethal dose
You're whispering in my ears like--
HIM: Did you hear about the nuclear escalation?
The whole North Korea situation?
We need to redouble our dedication
To prioritizing this issue as a nation
HER: Huh.
Let's not talk about that
Put your body on mine and go with the flow
C’mon, help me forget for a while
Let's dance like there's no tomorrow
HIM: Yeah, there might not be a tomorrow
HER: Let's not talk about that
HIM: Okay
HER: Great!
And then we're grinding so close
The rest of the world disappears
I want you straight in my veins like a lethal dose
You're whispering in my ears like--
HIM: What's your stance on atheism?
Belief systems regularly cause a schism
You don't need a higher power to choose altruism
But these days it's all conflated with cynicism
HER: Let's not talk about that
Put your body on mine and go with the flow
Would you just let me forget for a second, geez
Let's dance like there's no tomorrow
Let's not talk about--
HIM: Is being centrist even possible in this divisive political climate of clickbait news features?
Does the growing consumption of plant-based meals indicate a mass realization that we now have the choice not to torture living creatures?
What does it mean for our society that sports figures and YouTube stars earn millions more than school teachers?
As the planet trends toward no longer sustaining our species, whose responsibility is it to push for more thorough preventative procedures?
HER: Let's not talk about that, let's not talk about that
Let's not talk about that (HIM: there's no tomorrow)
Let's not talk about that (HIM: there's no tomorrow)
Let's not talk about that (HIM: there's no tomorrow)
Let's talk about that over breakfast

** LYRICS (BY TIM MINCHIN) **
You grew on me like a tumor
And you spread through me like malignant melanoma
And now you're in my heart
Should’ve cut you out back at the start
Now I'm afraid there's no cure for me
No dose of emotional chemotherapy
Can halt my pathetic decline
Shoulda had you removed back when you were benign
I picked you up like a virus
Like meningococcal meningitis
Now I can't feel my legs
When you're around I can't get out of bed
And I've left it too late to risk an operation
There’s no chance at all of a clean amputation
The successful removal of you
Would probably kill me too
You grew on me like carcinoma
Crept up on me like untreated glaucoma
Now I find it hard to see
This untreated dose of you has blinded me
I should've consulted my local physician
I'm stuck now forever with this tunnel vision
My periphery is through
Wherever I look now, all I see is you
When we first met you seemed fickle and shallow
But my armor was no match for your poison arrow
You are wedged inside my breast
If I tried to pull you out now I think I'd bleed to death
I'm feeling short of breath
You grew on me like a tumor
And you spread through me like malignant melanoma
I guess I never knew
How fast a little mole can grow on you

** LYRICS **
Best foot forward, spit spot!
Well, your mother's flighty and aloof
Your father's much too busy to be home
But children, you're in luck, 'cause I'm foolproof
with a brand of magic all my own
You have some power in your corner now
And that's a promise that I guarantee
You have my skills, my style, and my know-how
See all you've got to do is stick with me
And I'll say
Oh, Jane and Michael Banks
What will your future be?
Let me teach you, thanks
I've got this down
You have never had a friend like me
Tough love plus wizardry
Yes, that's what I prefer
REFLECTION: She's so good at child psychology
You have never had a friend like her
Yes, well, we pride ourselves on wisdom
I'm the boss
The queen, the best
I walk on air
It's hardly fair
I admit that I've been truly blessed
Life's now a smorgasbord
Of possibility
And here's a clue: I'll help you two
You have never had a friend like me
Can your friends ride clouds?
I don’t mean to brag
Can your friends pull this out their carpet bag?
Can your friends speak dog? No?
Well, that’s a shame
Can your friends go 'abracadabra' with a snap
And make cleaning up into a game?
So don't just stand there slack-jawed, buggy-eyed
I'm here to answer your advertisement
You've got a dignified, distinguished guide
A live-in mentor, and I don't pay rent
I've got an urge to make your life sublime
And I won't leave till I have found success
I'm immortal, so I've got some time
I'm like a goddess in a straight-laced dress, and yes
I may come back in Mary Poppins Two (and Three!)
When I'm on screen, it's evergreen
You have never had a friend, never had a friend
You have never had a friend, never had a friend
You have never had a friend like me
I'm your nanny, not your friend, obviously

** LYRICS **
ALICE:
When you look into the mirror,
I’m sure you’re distressed
Your book borrowed my look
You’re even wearing my dress
I been rocking this game
Since before you were born
This corny copy’s lost because
she ain’t in Kansas anymore
I'm surprised your garbage squad
Hasn't fallen apart
Yellow bellied, empty-headed
That one’s got no heart
Double killers, caterpillars,
and a mad man in my crew
Put you on blast, I gotta ask
Who are you?
DOROTHY:
Well, I’m Dorothy Gale
And you’re on my street
Not a good witch, I’m a bad bitch
Ruby kicks on my feet
Quirky stupid chicks
And nobody can stand ‘em
You’re that annoying girl shouting
LOL I’m so random
I got sense and sensibility
Like my girl Jane Austen
Wreckin’ your tea party
Like they did back in Boston
Word to your moms
I’m dropping L. Frank Bombs
Got more bars than Wonka
More composed than Brahms
Better say your prayers,
TEAM OZ: “We’re your worst nightmares”
Keep dreaming, you’ll be screaming
Lions, tigers, and bears (Oh my!)
I’ve come to free the land
From an olive hand
A beginning middle end that
Even kids can understand
In your sadness you wallow
Talkin’ rabbits you follow
Put a bottle near your mouth
You’re not thinkin’, you swallow
I didn’t make the mold
But I’m the one who broke it
I’m the better heroine
Stick that in your pipe and smoke it
ALICE:
No place like home?
You’re from a podunk prairie
Ease on down the road
Cause shiz is gonna get scary
What’s your battle plan?
I don’t think you understand
A coward, dolt and bag of bolts
Can’t step to Wonderland
Don't make me light up your friend,
Cause he’s met his match
A stitched together strawman
that stinks like bandersnatch
You’re washed up and washed out,
you’re fading, and thus
Click your heels together baby
and bugger off to Kansas
SCARECROW:
Who needs brains when you have
this much swagger
I don’t even gotta think
and I got moves like Jagger
I’m outstanding in my field
While you have mental lapses
Teaching crows how to murder
With my lack of synapses
Noggin stuffed with knowledge
Stitching rhymes so raw
Throwing shade at Oz?
Hay, that’s the last straw
Let’s have a heart to heart
you tart stealing tart
Alice, you’re so stupid
you make me look smart.
…and we’re out of space because there are so many lyrics!

** LYRICS **
HER: I spot you 'cross the dance floor
A hottie 'cross the dance floor, baby
I've got to cross the dance floor
HER: Hi. HIM: Hi.
And then we're grinding so close
The rest of the world disappears
I want you straight in my veins like a lethal dose
You're whispering in my ears like--
HIM: Did you hear about the nuclear escalation?
The whole North Korea situation?
We need to redouble our dedication
To prioritizing this issue as a nation
HER: Huh.
Let's not talk about that
Put your body on mine and go with the flow
C’mon, help me forget for a while
Let's dance like there's no tomorrow
HIM: Yeah, there might not be a tomorrow
HER: Let's not talk about that
HIM: Okay
HER: Great!
And then we're grinding so close
The rest of the world disappears
I want you straight in my veins like a lethal dose
You're whispering in my ears like--
HIM: What's your stance on atheism?
Belief systems regularly cause a schism
You don't need a higher power to choose altruism
But these days it's all conflated with cynicism
HER: Let's not talk about that
Put your body on mine and go with the flow
Would you just let me forget for a second, geez
Let's dance like there's no tomorrow
Let's not talk about--
HIM: Is being centrist even possible in this divisive political climate of clickbait news features?
Does the growing consumption of plant-based meals indicate a mass realization that we now have the choice not to torture living creatures?
What does it mean for our society that sports figures and YouTube stars earn millions more than school teachers?
As the planet trends toward no longer sustaining our species, whose responsibility is it to push for more thorough preventative procedures?
HER: Let's not talk about that, let's not talk about that
Let's not talk about that (HIM: there's no tomorrow)
Let's not talk about that (HIM: there's no tomorrow)
Let's not talk about that (HIM: there's no tomorrow)
Let's talk about that over breakfast
