Story behind the song
Starts out with some great buzzy, sputtery motor sounds (These came directly out of my mouth, no effects used!) then launches into the main song. This is completely a cappella, no instruments. I sang through my guitar petal for the “drr drr drr drr”. And it turns out I can mouth drum (“human beatbox”) at faster tempos than I can sing. I recorded the mouth drums first starting out at a moderate speed, but unconsciously sped up as I went along. It was only when I went to record the lead vocal that I realized that the song was gradually getting faster and faster, and found my tongue tied in a knot by the end. Listen closely on the solo for a toilet flushing in the background. I recorded the lead vocal in the bathroom and couldn’t help myself. Listen closely on the final repetition of the chorus, the entire mix is playing in the background one octive lower for a growly effect. The verses actually have the same meter and format at “Drive My Car” by the Beatles, but this song is much better, which means I am better than the Beatles, which by default makes me bigger than Jesus.
