Dr. Donner's Party Planners
The Donner Party was so successful back in the 1840s they started their own business! My Cakewalk crashed on me in the middle so some of the vocals are just placeholders (so I didn't forget them) that became permanent when I lost all my edits.
Weird, funny rock and roll. Maybe a little metal. Maybe techno. Maybe. Soulful. So full of what?
I ain't givin' my name to some computer!
Story behind the song
I was watching the News Radio episode, "Stock" where Beth tells Jimmy James she wants to invest her newly acquired inheritence money in the stock market. His response is, "That's the same boundless optimism that earned the Donner Party their place in history."
Lyrics
Dr. Donner: Thank you for calling Dr. Donner's Party Planners. How may I help you?
Guy: Yeah, Dr. Donner. I've got a problem. I was on my way to California. From the east coast of the USA. I kinda got lost. What can I say? You know, when you look at a map and they write on there "it's a shortcut!" But then you take three weeks to get to the same place the stooge you left behind that didn't want to take the shortcut and he says he got there in like two days. You get pretty pissed, right? Well, that's sorta the stage I'm at right now.
And I want to party!
Got a little place in the S&N hills
We got a lot of snow
and not a lot of thrills
Dr Donner can't you help me please?
I'm still trying to figure out why
these knuckleheads have chosen this guy
to lead us all to a place where
we will all die
Dr. Donner's Party Planners
We'll throw a party you'll never come home from.
Be sure to bring your neighbors too.
Get a little hungry
they might be food.
You don't like the cold?
Cut off their skin
and wear it for a hood.
Dr. Donner's Party People
we go where no one ever should.
Dr. Donner: Well, sir. Your problem is quite natural and normal and we've seen it before. Around 1884.
Gonna have a buffet
fill it up with double A.
If they bring their pets too
cook 'em in a spittoon.
Anything you thought to bring
Cook it? Sure thing!
Even if it's alive.
Even if its a wife.
Like Picard would say.
Jean-Luc Picard: Make it so.
Yah-hey!

Oh my God, Dr. Donner,
that sounds so very good.
How fast can you be here, dude?
Hop on the subway, hop on the train
get your bike and pedal like you're insane.
Just get here now!
