Acoustic songs about love, life, and funny stuff like almost dying. Gotta laugh, don't do no good to cry...
I'm just a guy who has spent the last too many years trying to make a living. My music has been a hobby. I write songs about things that happen to me, or have happened to me, and try to keep things simple.

Story behind the song
This is from the January challenge, which was to write a song about a cartoon. I enlisted the help of my two daughters on background vocals.
Lyrics
Marvin Copyright ®2006 Edward Null You travel through space in your big flying saucer, Searching for truth in your own special way. Your engines they roar like a cheap coffee maker, The gun that you carry shoots very strange rays. Marvin A helmet of a Roman Centurion, Big shoes and your kilt made of tin. You’re the best in a bad situation, And the way that you talk makes me grin. “I’m not angry just terribly, terribly hurt.” You came here to capture a specimen To take back home for study, dissection and such. And though you were stymied at every turn, You never give up and don’t worry too much. Marvin A helmet of a Roman Centurion, Bit shoes and your kilt made of tin, You’re the best in a bad situation, And the way that you talk makes me grin. “Oh dear I had the silly thing in reverse.” Get all your soldiers from a gumball machine, Add water they’re to go. With a heart of a Roman Centurion, Big shoes and your kilt made of tin, You’re the scourge of the universe ain’t ya man, And the things that you do make me grin. You’re the scourge of the universe ain’t ya man, And the way that you talk makes me grin. “Being disintegrated makes me very angry, very angry indeed!”
