Rise of the Novelty Song?

Maybe there’s something in the air with the return of Tenacious D but recently I’ve noticed some more light-hearted faire popping up in the music streams about town. Here’s two of the finer contributions:

Amerigo Gazaway
I Can’t Get Off Of The Facebook

Typically the Gummy Soul crew puts out some extra thick soul or hip-hop numbers – like “Spring Came Early” – but occasionally they just bring out the fun, and sadly relatable, times. They even put together a pretty righteous video for the whole thing.

Shaky Voices
Grimey’s

Shaky Voices is no stranger to the amusing tune (see “Phil Collins Head“) but he added in an extra dose of sweetness in this ode to everyone’s favorite local record store. It’s teetering on that line between professed line and store jingle but, either way, it’s bound to be smirkfully enjoyed locally.
