| 1 | I Know What This Song Is About | Sings for Erin | March, 1991 | June 3, 2000 | Lyrics | Journal | Comments | mp3 | 2:26 |
|
"Well, obviously he knew what the derned song was about, but I was
clueless. That is, until I heard him say the song was about me. That
threw me for a loop. How did he know me? Why was he recording a song
about me? And furthermore, why was he looking in at me through my
kitchen window?" -- Keith Cunningham III, Manitoban Iguana Farmer
"It's a nice tune. Keeps the orangutans calm during feeding."
"Melodic, sweet and strangely paradoxical, Mr. McFodderwink does it
again for the first time: he wrote a song. I Know What This Song is
About not only throws it's listeners totally offgaurd by the approximate
rhyme scheme, it also soothes the heart, mind, soul and sometimes the
middle of your left index finger. Truly inspiring." Copyright © 2000, Manitoban Exploitation

"That's crazy, even I don't believe that something like this would be so
cheap. Things like this come at a price. Both to the consumer and the
artists career. Believe me, I would know." -- Peter Tork, Ex-Monkee Copyright © 2000, Manitoban Exploitation

"I don't know him. Roddy who? Is this over?" -- Roddy McFodderwink's Sister
"This.. THIS was what was missing from The Return of the Jedi. I can see
it now... lights dimming, the opening song begins... the sequence with
the snow and stuff. No wait, that was Empire Strikes Back ... or was
that the first one..."

"Well, we tried to tell him we really didn't need a wedding song. He
insisted on writing one and playing it at our wedding. I'm sure it was
lovely." -- Jimmy Smitts, Interpreted by his assistant for the deaf, Kathy Weinheimer
"Powerfully breathtaking. It inspired more than just love in me. Oh
yes."
"It brought my entire class to tears. And if you could have seen all of
those runny red noses and smeared white paint, you would have broken
down, too." Copyright © 2000, Manitoban Exploitation

"You know those commercials they have about people who have trouble
talking because they have the wrong cell phone service provider? This
whole song is just like that. A guy having trouble talking." -- Mandy Finch, Student at Manitoba State University
"I really got into it, man. He has this talent that is beyond me...
beyond anyone..beyond life. I believe this man is God. And if my beliefs
are correct, wow... like, I've heard the voice of God."
"He's a genius. Hearing a voice in your pants is like a parody of life.
Where's the meaning? We're all searching for that voice-- little do we
know it's in our pants." Copyright © 2000, Manitoban Exploitation
