What I absolutely love about Song Poems is the awkward logjam of words, trying to cram someone's awful poem into some semblance of a melody.

I would pay to be a fly on the wall of some of these sessions.

hey Robert! It was put together for download on the old WFMU Blog

I once had a song poem recorded from an offer on ebay. I was the only bidder for $10. The artist turned out to be avant garde conceptual musician Nick Yulman. Here's a link: swoodyrecords.bandcamp.com...
  2:07pm
Listener Robert:

It looks so much like a frame of a Bagge comic that at first I thought you lifted it out of that context. I was starting to imagine what it was about.

@BC - I'm not as familiar with song poems as I should be, to be honest. I don't *think* they're such a known thing here ... but I'm not an expert so I may be completely wrong! :-)

I almost forgot, I had another Song Poem done about cheese with DIY/Daniel Johnston-ish musician "Thompson Owen." Here's the link: swoodyrecords.bandcamp.com...
  2:11pm
Listener Robert:

That would've been great, by the way: a repurposed comic strip frame on an album of pieces of unrelated music and chants overlaid.

I must've gotten that concept from the 45 cover of Barreracuda's "Promises", which is a cartoon swipe from the art from "Promises, Promises".

@GeorgyGirl: Song Poems are the product of services sometimes called Song Sharking, wherein an add solicits song lyrics from amateur would-be sonqwriters, who are then charged a fee to have their (usually wretched) poems set to a real musical arrangement. Fame and fortune awaits you! Royalties! Etc.

shaking your maracas like hot sauce
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:18pm
Rich in Washington:

They differ from self-made 'vanity' records in that the musicians are more or less professional, rather competent, whereas the lyrics are just awful. The kinds of poems crackpot shut-ins used to send to Reader's Digest or their local small town newspaper.

Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:20pm

I've got a few comps from bottom-of-the-barrel Song Poem outfit Royal Master Recordings and in some instances, they reuse the instrumentals for different songs. Imagine if you sent away to have your song recorded and you hear a recycled backing track.
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:21pm
Rich in Washington:

Oh, this is exquisitely awful! RIGHT ON!

Alex Zanetis, at Royal Master, was an absolute crook
Avatar Swag For Life Member ♥ 2:22pm

It's just awful, isn't it? Do you think they might be the worse? That Columbine track makes me think I might be wrong in my assessment of Royal Masters now.

Avatar 2:38pm

I wrote a blog on him years ago: I believe he was the president of the Portland Floral Society or similar, and he recorded several rose-themed songs on Film City. Song-poem/vanity hybrids
