about

A not-so-subtle tribute to Pinky and the Brain. This song went through several false starts before eventually blossoming into what it is. Sean Faust helped it truly come alive with his brilliant keyboards. I'd originally hoped to have some Pinky & The Brain voice over with it, but I can't afford Rob Paulsen and Maurice LaMarche, and while I can do a passable Pinky, the gentleman I had lined up to do Brain's voice (who sounds spot on like LaMarche) had life crop up and, well... Maybe I'll do a voice-over version later?

This song was made possible by my Patreon patrons, especially Robin Abess, John Woolard, Jeremy Jackson and Jennifer Lewis, and James Doster. I'll always be grateful to them.

lyrics

Are you pondering what I’m pondering
I think so but I don’t know
It seems every time I ask you that you get the answer wrong

And this world’s so complicated
And we’re endlessly frustrated
And then re-incarcerated in this lab cage before dawn

But tonight, prepare to be hurled
Though my labyrinthine plan as it’s unfurled
Through elaborate machinations around which our tails are curled
As we try to take over the world…

Maybe I will build a growth ray, join
The enigmatic group T.H.E.Y.
Or buy up tall real estate and melt the polar ice caps?

Place a quiz inside of Cosmo,
Or just hijack a tornado,
Or host a pancake jamboree with some psychotropic crabs

But tonight, prepare to be hurled
Though my labyrinthine plan as it’s unfurled
Through elaborate machinations around which our tails are curled
As we try to take over the world…

Because the world is broken, can’t you see
And just needs to be run by me,
I have the mousy finger around which it should be twirled
And every plan we’ve tried has failed, til now
But this one will succeed somehow,
Cause it’s time to take over the world!
