Cool Toddler Rock-'n'-Roll

I had a pretty good idea yesterday in the shower, for a psychobilly album for toddlers, or "cool toddler rock-'n'-roll." I even got two song ideas in that same shower: "Graham Cracker Daddy" and "Last Train to Napville." Google didn't turn up anyone else with this idea, and I think it's a lucrative one. Unfortunately I'm not willing to put in the work or salesmanship it would take to make it lucrative, and I don't believe in copyright, so I doubt anyone would want to go into business with me.

But if I ever get the urge to work on these songs, maybe they'll get produced someday. I thought I might start today, but I heard enough Chariot and XBXRX in the car last night, going to and from Chipotle, that by the time I got to the basement this morning I just wanted to work more on my current noisecore project. I'm through working on projects I'm not continuously excited about.

The music for my first song is just about done, and I even wrote some lyrics this morning. I went with the idea in my last post, so it's basically my 19th-century Christian talking with an American Darbyite (or maybe Darby himself, since his ideas didn't spread to America until the 20th century) in the wilderness about how he sees the scriptures and the world around him. It's a start. I still don't have a title for this song despite having worked on it for two months already, but lyrics will help with that.
