Gordon’s Crowbar Blues
A little while back, some Shackers entered a contest whose entrance requirements were to write lyrics for a song about video games–the criteria were pretty open, the entries just had to have verses and maybe some choruses. Song stuff.
Anyway, quadeh’s entry won, and I wrote and recorded a song based on his lyrics, as well as the lyrics of several other entries. For reasons I no longer recall, the content never really officially wrapped up, but I did release a few tracks to the Shack community. Today, out of the blue, I cleaned up my recording of quadeh’s song a bit, and now you can listen to the new and improved version here.
It can be streamed above, or downloaded directly. Entitled “Gordon’s Crowbar Blues,” it chronicles the early exploits of everyone’s favorite theoretical physicist button pusher/homicidal maniac.

Thanks for posting this. I remember listening to this when I was walking down the street in London originally (not sure why it sticks in my head), and the cleaned up version sounds pretty nice.

Awesome. That’s the Remo style I’ve missed.

Needs to be cleaned up or re-mixed some more, Remo, the vocals get lost in the instrumentation.
