I woke up Monday morning at 10:00 am, read the news headline 'Disney to acquire the Marvel Comics franchise for $4 billion', and immediately got an idea for a song. By 3:30 pm, the song was written. I called Tom Smith, and with his assistance I got a rough demo recorded by 6:30 pm to present to the powers that be at FuMP. On Tuesday, they approved, and via the graciousness of Devo Spice, Rob Balder, Possible Oscar, and Steve Goodie, room was made for me to post the song on September 4th. Wednesday night I went to Carrie Dahlby's apartment and recorded her vocals. Thursday morning Chris Mezzolesta of Power Salad mixed and mastered the song. Which brings us to Friday, when the new song "Marvel Poppins", which is a parody of a song whose title is one word with 14 syllables, was posted at the Funny Music Project website for free download. I went from song idea to finished posted track in 4 days. I believe that's a record for me. I hope it goes viral. I also hope some kind of fan video manifests for this. If I wasn't so busy moving, I'd make one myself. Anyway, please tell your comic book loving friends to check out "Marvel Poppins", and I'll see you all again in 7 1/2 weeks.
