Chad was actually the main reason I bought these CDs. As you probably don't know (because you're all lamers who don't read Chainsaw Buffet) he came up with a character called "Jimmy the Squid" based on the tentacle that seems to live in The Chef's soup pot. Chad was quite surprised to learn that there existed a song called "Jimmy the Squid" by TDotHS... and he'd never heard of it before he named the character.
So, anyway, on with the review of the two CDs:
Great Old Ones
- "My Tank" - Includes the lines "my tank has the hugest treads / for crushing heads." Also, this is the inspiration for the book title "My Tank Is Fight!" (a book that, IIRC, Something Awful published about wacky real-world tank concepts from WWII)
- "Battered" - I like Billy Joel, and I like parody. But are they two great tastes that taste great together?
- "Jimmy The Squid" - This is the reason I have the CDs in the first place. It is an epic rock tale of a squid and his cheating wife. No, really.
- "Big Robot Dinosaur" - I'm not going to write a review of this song. The name says it all.
- "Diggin' Up The World" (acoustic) - OK, this isn't a wacky or Cthulian. It's actually really good. For some reason, it reminds me of Neil Young.
- "Walking On The Moon" - A cover of the song by... I can't remember who, actually. Not necessarily better than the original, but a different take on it.
Spaceship Zero: The Movie Soundtrack
- "The Math Song" - Pretty much all of the lyrics to this song are numbers, functions, or operands.
... OK, I really haven't listened to much of Spaceship Zero.
Anyway, it's awesome.
