Cherry-Picking the Bible by Lauren Mayer

3/5/2024
Right-wingers cite 'the Good Book' to justify their attacks on women, LGBTQ+, diversity and inclusion, and anything they don't like. But it turns out they're skipping all sorts of other biblical stuff they should be following if they really think our laws should be based on a 2,000-year-old textbook.

The Modern Prometheus (Orchestral FuMP Edition) by The Thumbnuts

2/27/2024
The Modern Prometheus is the culmination of 16 years of comedy music making, and serves as the over-the-top, big prog-rock album ending to our final record. It originally began life as an improv around a couple of drum loops, haphazardly attempting to recount the plot of Frankenstein from memory. While the original version appears on our album from last year, this special orchestra accompanied version was written in celebration of The Thumbnuts joining The FuMP. Credits: Music, Instrumentation, and Production: Trevor Cochran Vocals: Gus Pewe, Trevor Cochran, Tommy Colangelo Lyrics by: Gus Pewe, Trevor Cochran Additional Guitar: Glenn Horne Orchestral Arrangement: Danny Farley Samples Taken from: Beetle Adventure Racing (1999), Frankenstein (1931) Interpolations from: "The God that Failed" by Metallica (1991), "Finally Free" by Dream Theater (1999)

Silent E by Carla Ulbrich

2/13/2024
Another track from the FuMP's Tom Lehrer Tribute album ("The FuMP Desecrates Tom Lehrer")! I'm particularly fond of this song, as I remember hearing it (and the "-LY" song) on the TV show "Zoom" as a kid. Thankfully, hearing those songs on a kids' TV show did not lead me to find the rest of Tom Lehrer's works until much later. Guitar and vocal: Carla Ulbrich recording engineer: Carla Ulbrich, with assist from Steve Goodie with thanks to my hubby Joe Giacoio for letting me play his super nice Chet Atkins Country Gentleman guitar, and to Rolly Brown for the guitar arrangement ideas (arranging the music, not the actual guitar collection display).

Chicken! by the great Luke Ski

August 18th, 2023: Luke Ski and his roommate Santana Maynard are cleaning their apartment. When Santana goes to put away some accessories for the mini-vacuum, Luke says to put all the items in the little cloth bag it came with to keep them all together. Luke then sings in a dumb crooner voice "What do you get when you put it all together?", to which Santana replies "CHICKEN!". Luke spends the rest of the day laughing uncontrollably at Santana's inexplicable response of "Chicken!" September 14th, 2023: Luke Ski reserves a theater space in Burbank so he can host a comedy music concert featuring acts from the FuMP and himself as the headliner on January 14th to celebrate his 50th birthday. The intended climax of the show was for Luke to surprise world premiere a new amazing comedy music piece of epic proportions to blow the audience away, and boldy reclaim the moniker of 'the GREAT Luke Ski'!!!... January 8th, 2024: ...Having completely FAILED to find the time to create a new amazing comedy music piece of epic proportions, upon the encouragement of TV's Kyle, Luke goes on his social media accounts and posts "Make up the title of a song I should write". Over the next 24 hours, dozens of suggestions were posted by Luke's followers. Among them, Santana Maynard posted "Chicken!". So that's why Luke Ski, age 50, wrote and posted a song titled "Chicken!" at the FuMP. And now, you get to listen to it. I'm old. Cameo appearance by Santana Maynard Music, Mixing, and Magi-ppearance by TV's Kyle
