This one is a parody of one of my all-time favorite rock songs -- 'Bohemian Rhapsody' by Queen. My version is called 'Wal-Martian Rhapsody'. The music has been 'country-fied', and it's the story of somebody's trip to a Wal-Mart.

I'm a guy with a warped sense of humor recording music using software and a microphone in my home office.
What the heck is the KNOW Talent Agency, anyway? Well, I've never made any money doing this, and the only performer is me, and my talent is questionable, so the term Talent Agency is a misnomer. The KNOW Talent Agency is just the cast of imaginary characters that I give credit for performing my songs. I am Roscoe Aardvark, Rufus Leaking, Mr. Wompy and yes, even Buzzy Bottoms. And to answer the question that everyone has asked me, "Have you made any money from your songs?", the answer is, "NO!" Then why did you do this? I've always loved crazy songs and parodies. Since my teenage years, I've dreamed of writing and performing a dumb song, and then hearing it on the radio. So back in the late 80s, I took some of my hard-earned money and invested in a few electronic musical instruments, a 4-track recorder and computer software and started a new hobby. When John-Boy and Billy of WRFX radio in Charlotte put "A Crazy Bunch" on the air in April 1987, my dream was realized! Over years I have sporadically recorded more songs, all of which are on my website at www.nworbcire.com.

Story behind the song
Interestingly and ironically, the idea for this song came to me one day when I was shopping in a Target store. (My mind works in mysterious ways, as many of you know.) Yes, the vocals are not exactly professional in quality, but that was the effect that I was trying to create. (Yeah, right, ... good excuse for bad singing ...)
Lyrics
Wal-Martian Rhapsody by Eric Brown I need some light bulbs, and Triple-A batteries. My wife needs some tampons And Ben-Gay for her sore knees. It's getting cold -- I should get some anti-freeze. I'll go to Wal-Mart and save a few pennies. 'Cause it's not very far to go, Lots of stuff, prices low. But I don't like to go there, 'cause Wal-Martians give me the willies. I pull in the parking lot. Walk through the sliding doors, The greeter welcomes me once more. I plan to buy a lot of stuff So I grab a cart to push around the store. Wal-mart, ooo I hope that I find everything 'Cause I don't want to come back here tomorrow. Buy it now, buy it now --- Man, I've got to drain my bladder. Urinate -- that time has come. Gotta find the men's room door. I can't stand it any more. Excuse me, everybody -- I've got to go! Gotta push y'all aside and face the loo. Hey, man - oooo ... Don't stand next to me! I really wish that I'd gone in the stall! Who is this weirdo standin' next to me? He's a freak! He's a freak! He's a certified psycho! Tattoos and noserings - very very frightening me! Outta here! Outta here! Outta here! Outta here! Gotta get out here right -- back to the store! Now I'm in aisle 2 looking for Ben-Gay. Lady on a cell phone, big butt in my way. Three kids jumpin' round and I cannot get through. Can't go left, can't go right - will you let me through? Big mama! No - she will not let you through - let me through Big mama! No - she will not let you through - let me through Big mama! No - she will not let you through - let me through Will not let you through - let me through Will not let you through - let you through No, no, no, no, no, no, no - Oh mama mia, mama mia, mama mia let me through! She's oblivious, she won't move aside for me ... For me ... For me!!!! I don't think I can deal with this aisle-blocking manatee! I've got to get out of this Wal-Mart to save my sanity! Wal-Martians - they are driving me crazy! Just gotta get out - just gotta get right outta here. As I leave the checkout It occurs to me Since I came to Wal-Mart, that means I'm a Wal-Martian, too. I forgot the tampons ...... (dad-gummitt ...)
