-Mrs. Groovy Sunshine-
Lyrics…
As the shadows stretch across your dark and lonely room
and your record player fails to chase away your gloom
I want to hold you tight, and tuck you into bed at night
I just hope that you’re alright, and I can…
-We’re Full Blooded USAnaian-
Lyrics…
I come from a place called “ Am-e-RI-ca”
Naw, you don’t come from “ Am-e-RI-ca”
I come from a place called “ Am-e-RI-ca”
Naw, you don’t come from “ Am-e-RI-ca”
You come from Usa
You come from Usa
You…
Baby, I'm Dead Inside- by The Proods (Joe Grennon)
I'll bet you thought that you could hurt me
Every time you'd blindly say, "I wish you would die"
Well I wasn't born yesterday
These aren't things that lover's say
I've tried so hard…

We haven't been this excited about a track in a while.
Yeah, we're a little bit angst-y I'm afraid...musically anyway.\A special hello to our Alonetone friends from the grand production days...so glad to see y'all are still making music!

Once in a nightmare
I knew you then
I think we were related,
I'm not sure
maybe we were strangers.
We'd look in windows and climb
the trees that grew,
and if it'd rained outside
we'd take off our shoes.
And when I'd see you
I would…
This song was written after I had watched a documentary about Jonestown, which featured music from their choir. They were very talented and I couldn't help wondering if any of them had survived. I'd like to think that there were a couple of 'em…
I hope Brian (one of us Proods) will forgive me for posting this before we could get together to work on it further. He first played it for me a few months ago and I've been obsessively tweaking it every chance I could get.

Two Beers Away From Calling You
Another ten o'clock, same beer, same bar.
Same old thoughts of calling you.
We burned that bridge so many times,
crossing it's the last thing I should do.
Your number's still here in my phone,
But I know theres…
Reg just loves watching old films and the one he watched last broke his heart and it was all based non a lie ....
That Poor Mockingbird
they killed the mockingbird
That jury of twelve
they took away the truth to that…
Ok. More covers. This song has always meant something to me. Probably the same thing it meant to David.
Vocal was recorded while playing the piano so it's a bit iffy.
Here's my "super professional studio" for interest and posterity…
Franky's boat is too small for the by's
You could maybe hold a lobster pot
Or a seal for flipper pie
We need to bring in more than this and I'm not gonna lie
Franky's boat is too small for the by's
I'm headed to St. John's
To the teller…
Track four of my RPM 2026 project.
This one is definitely the most sprawling and varied of the compositions, with the highest instrument count. I wanted to tell the story of a road trip journey to get out into nature among the fall colors, which…
Reg went to the cinema last night to see Baz Lurmans Epic and woke up this morning beleaving he was Elvis ....someones got to tell him he's not..... he's started sowing beads onto his boiler-suit and will eat nothing but peanut butter and bacon…
I said there would be four tracks, and now there are. I decided to use everything that I hadn't already used this year, including my old Roland drum machine, bass ukulele, slide guitar, guiro, bongos, and of course my trusty vibraslap.
I'm a madman roaring down this rain-slicked road
Top down, laughing, rain slaps like the hand of God
Left you barefoot, summer-haired, watching me go
Like a beautiful flower I should've picked
a long, long time ago
Pre-Chorus:
You were…
Okay to laugh here, music is supposed to be fun, right? My attempt at writing a jug band style song. Yup, I used a dang kazoo:-/ And some whistling :-) Kind of sounds like a 'chicken' clucking away in this... hmmm. Maybe an ear worm just…
An autobiographical song about my eating habits.

Grab a snack food out of the bag and eat one
Grab another one out of the bag and eat one
Finding out it’s kinda hard to just eat one
Serving size is two…
Comments on The Proods's stuff
It’s groovy alright, a great 60’s vibe. Mix the Kinks with the Dead and you get YOU!
Hhhhaaaa! Love this!!
Another beauty
Oh those lyrics!!!! Such vitriol mixed with the upbeat tone - delightfully dead but still living indeed! Well done!!!
Heyyy, nice to hear from you all again. Excellent song! It's very robust and autumnal. One of your better tracks (if not best) I think.
🔥
it can be lonely summertime alone
Oh my dear Proods! Such angst! I love this. The melancholy beach vibe is perfect.
:-) Hey Steve, I play bass too. Cool to hear your work. Likin' it.
Love the groove, and this is GREAT writing!
Good vibez
Cool old style rock vibe.
OMG! How fun to hear your wonderful music again!!! Love this one. Hope all the Proods are well in this world.
I like this....it's like a mix between the Dead Milkmen and the Monkees!
Hi Proods!
This was a good one.
~Hi Proods~
For a moment I was back in 1966. Good work!
Yes! A MONKEES song, for sure.
Interesting sounds. Cool chord shifts.

Ouch! Well, I guess that's how Tom started out.
Damn, man...read the title and couldn't wait to hear this one. I was NOT disappointed.
Great movie, great song.
Live jam? Awesome.
Woo...great groove. What the world needs now is MORE groove!
Genius.
Great vocal
Wow...reminds me of Toasted Heretic, from a long time ago. I'm hooked.
I'm gonna have to come back to give all of your tracks my full attention...so much music, so little time!
Ha! Well, this is a nice treat...and you reminded me of my dad, so extra kudos on that opening.
Ooh...that guitar has a great sound.
Best cover I've EVER heard! I get chills every time.
Ooh...such a bright sounding track!
Ooh...the harmonica was a nice surprise.
Amazing lyrics. Beautiful.
I'm gonna have to come back to give these another go-round.
😂 Wahooo!!!
goddam....perfect, as usual.
Yes! This is what it's all about!
Very cool.
