(c) 2013 by The Non-Stick Penguins, featuring The Canary Robbery Vocals: Jon, KPU; Guitar: Rob Williams, KPU; Ukelele: Magnus Forrester-Barker Lyrics: The other day I saw a big fat hairy monster With a big fat scary head And now I'm scared That that mean old monster wants to see me dead The other day I saw a big fat scary monster With big fat hairy legs And now I'm scared That that mean old monster wants to see me dead Stay inside all day. No, I don't want to go out. I'm not going out today. There's people out there who've got guns and knives. We need to guard our lives. I saw the papers yesterday. Something about some psycho killer dragging little kids away. The other day I saw a big fat scary monster With a big fat hairy head And now I'm scared That that mean old monster wants to see me dead Keep looking around, and keep those ears pricked for the least suspicious sound There's people out there who might beat me, rob me, defraud me or eat me! I watched the news the other day. Looks like the whole world's full of terrorists trying to blow us all away. A lot of things I could do, but I might fail or just not be able to. There's people out there who'd do better than me. Plus way too much bureaucracy. I heard a bunch of people say 'bout how the government's trying to take all of our hard-earned rights away.

Very nice KPU! Hope you had lots of fun! You've even gone to the trouble of posting all that stuff there and colouring in the little monster picture!! Feel free to talk about me and my works on here in the 3rd person - I'm greatly honoured! I'm not sure about melodies - I think the main thing that helps me write good melodies funnily enough is not using an instrument. Writing a song in your head means you start with the melody and you don't get stuck in the rut of the same old keys and chord progressions and patterns all the time. Do you ever write tunes in your head?

Heck yeah man, I had a blast working with BFHM! I love how it came out. and you are 100% right about the value of thinking up melodies without an instrument leading, letting the melody lead, produces very clear ideas that way. I actually tend to not write that way, I think just because I enjoy the process of developing music and grooves and letting melodies present themselves that way.. like thats just entertainment for me. I think top shelf, hypnotizing organic music can be made that way! I always like trying, but its sort of just a self-satisfying way to do it in my case, just how I tend to create. as a writer you'll never go wrong leading with and building around strong melodies though. basically that why I like your music, they've all got sure fire ideas. Thats why we are actually dangerous collaborators. you get a guy with melodies (you) and a guy who likes to build and develop grooves within music (me), you can get really rich music! one big HOOK! yes I'm big on visual graphics, I took yours and just tweeked it, you know I also dig that shot of you guys, sweet lighting, great vibe. you should use that shot and throw some text on it, band name etc., its a cool shot. Maybe I'll design it really quick for you and post it! awesome jam man

Its funny cause thats basically how me and audi started working together too!, he took my melodies (in acoustic demo form) and worked it out from there. dangerous

Why not? Copyright reasons? Or is it a website thing?
