Ah... they joys of having one's own band.
I sure do miss it.

How about the touching ballad,
"Pirate Robot Birthday Party"?

Yo ho ho
Beep beep beep
So much noise it's hard to sleep
All the crew is young and hardy
Pirate Robot Birthday Party

or there's always the seminal favorite
"The Temptation of the Quasi-Electric Dynomutt"

Sometimes it's nice to get together
with friends and write songs you know will
never make it beyond a few copies on
cheap 90min tape...
