monopoli's listening history

My Casio-tune (for the Casio Challenge) Recorded through a microphone so you can hear me tapping away at the crappy little keys of the SA-3. Since it started to sound very sinister and reminded me also of the sea I wanted to add lyrics…

4. The worlds most miserable song
This was partly meant for a challenge someone put out in the RPM-forum to make the most tearjerking/depressing song ever. Because of the flu I didn't make the deadline, but that only adds to the miserableism…
