Most of these were originally encoded in {{yp|RealAudio}}, and the files got lost in a server migration. I could probably find them on a backup somewhere, but as I am no longer supporting RealAudio, I'd much rather re-encode them. This will happen as soon as I can find the source cassettes.

Credit should go to Lucy and Charles Whitfield, wherever they may be, for coming up for the original inspiration of making rude comments to songs from Grease. Hey, it was the seventies still; disco was king, we were tired of hearing about it, and it was fun to say "John Revolting and Olivia Neutron-Bomb". (Maybe I'll put up some of the tapes we made of our rude comments. If I can find them.)

* (audio temporarily unavailable) '''Audio-Paste Message #2'''
: #2 was the one I finally used. These were both made with a cassette recorder, a record player, and a CD player in 1988 or so. This proves that I used to have way too much free time. Also I've got way too many songs in my head. (Wait till I find that other tape of spliced messages I made, then you'll see what I mean.) I have resisted the temptation to digitally "clean" either of these, so you're hearing them exactly as recorded.
* (audio temporarily unavailable) '''Reactionary Response Message'''
: When we first moved to Georgia and I placed message #2 on our home answering machine, certain of L's relatives found it disturbing, for reasons that have never been entirely clear to me. In response I recorded message #3 and put it on the machine instead.

I like #2 better, because even if the vocals are horrible at least they're ''deliberately'' horrible.

Woozle: audio: weirdness

Most of these were originally encoded in RealAudio, and the files got lost in a server migration. I could probably find them on a backup somewhere, but as I am no longer supporting RealAudio, I'd much rather re-encode them. This will happen as soon as I can find the source cassettes.

WPUP Contest Parodies

In 1997, local radio station WPUP 103.7 "The Bulldog" was changing ownership, and they decided to have a contest before the official hand-off. Listeners were invited to send in their parodies or original songs on any topic, with preference given to songs about the station. These were my two entries. I like #2 better, because even if the vocals are horrible at least they're deliberately horrible.

  • (audio temporarily unavailable) Hey Bulldog 103.7
    • based on: "Hey Bulldog" by The Beatles from Yellow Submarine.
    • human vocals: Woozle (with apologies)
    • canine vocals: Penelope the Wonder Shepherd and Her Band of Puppies
  • (audio temporarily unavailable) Jeremiah Was a Bulldog
    • based on: "Joy to the World" by Hoyt Axton as recorded by Three Dog Night
    • vocals: Woozle (Enraged Muppet, Opera Man, & harmony), Lynne of the RDA (chorus)
The canine vocals were completely unrehearsed and unplanned; sometimes these things just happen... (Penelope died a few months later leaving the world this, her final artistic legacy.)
