Seven

soundoftheweak is a website weekly challenge for recording and had issued the challenge… “make a recording as the most obscure band (or musician) in the world”

This piece was my submission to this challenge.

My notes: “Written and recorded on 13th Feb 2009. The ‘Comic Relief’ charity telethon is on TV today, so I felt that I should try my hand at ‘comedy’. A couple of hours later, and I had ‘Seven’ which is not particularly funny, or big, or clever.”

Yo yo yo
Checkin’ a mic 1…
Checkin’ a mic 1,2,3,4,5,6,7
Monday Tuesday Wednesday Thursday Friday Saturday Sunday

I’m being deliberately obtuse
Whit time signatures I choose
To show I’m cleverer than you
But I’ll change as soon as you get used to it

This will not win me many fans
And that’s not a Paprazzo man
And he will not capture me
Without a camera
Obscura
Obscurer

I’m so far underground no one ever could dig me
Testing the limits of anonymity
And you know I’m not faking
Cos I’m a whole seven degrees from Kevin Bacon

Put your hands in the air if you just don’t care for me

Days of the week
Sounds of the Weak
1,2,3,4,1,2,3,1,2,3,4,1,2,3

I’m being deliberately obtuse
Whit time signatures I choose
To show I’m cleverer than you
