La da da da da I'm gonna bury you in the ground La da da da da Gonna bury you with my sound Gonna drink the red from your pretty pink face I'm gonna... What... You don't like that? Maybe you just don't like me! Sorry I don't treat you like a goddess Is that what you want me to do? Sorry I don't treat you like you're perfect Like all your little loyal subjects do Sorry I'm not made of sugar And I'm not sweet enough for you Is that why you always avoid me? That must be such an inconvenience to you Well... I'm just your problem I'm just your problem It's like I'm not even a person, am I? I'm just your problem Well, I shouldn't have to justify what I do And I shouldn't have to prove anything to you I'm sorry that I exist, I forget what landed me on your blacklist But I shouldn't have to be the one that makes up with you So... why do I want to? Why do I want to... To... bury your face in the dirt And drink the blood from your stupid neck

it's not always clear who is rescuing whom but when we're together my heart goes boom boom boom just as it was written by JT Dogzone and then passed back around with a long-arm dog bone back in ooooo! the fragilest bubbles I offer to you in honor of your science barbecue and when I say science, you can be sure that I don't only refer to a candy corn rat it's the passionate inquiry the lessons you sink in me more or less successfully oh girl, you're the math to me you are my PB circa season 3 just cause I'm thirteen don't mean my love isn't real when the cosmic owl tells you you blew it, you blew it I still feel the sound of bumping a fist with my best friend, and so I try again I don't find the snail on every adventure but I know he's there waving his tiny little hand you got one-dimensional two-dimensional three-dimensional four-dimensional five-dimensional six-dimensional seven-dimensional seven-dimensional objects now you got time & space you got such a face I got time to waste come back to my place Jake will make pancakes with bacon! bacon pancakes… my sneaking suspicion is you are the glue that is holding together the pieces of this land of ooooo!

Let's go in the garden You'll find something waiting Right there where you left it Lying upside down When you finally find it You'll see how it's faded The underside is lighter When you turn it around Everything stays Right where you left it Everything stays But it still changes Ever so slightly Daily and nightly In little ways 'Cause everything stays

Is this even possible? Is it probable? Is it gonna happen cause it's unstoppable? Am I topable? Well, would you rock a bull? Well, would ya? It's a rap battle of wit wisdom and wizardry Gotta check it out so I'm sneaking surreptitiously Into Wizard Cit-t-ty - zap-zap - my chapeau claque ricochets the first attack, abracadancing on the slack I sing visciously, pull the string deliciously Simon thinks he's gonna make the place all blizzardy Then Finn comes in but he's messed up on the femme brûlée That human should’a been disqualified anyway Hey, them's the rules. Wizard Battle is for Wizards only, fools! Wizards Rule I'm gonna beat you in a wizard duel And send you back to wizard school This game is wizards only, fool Elements ablaze, a luminous haze, ethereal rays Incantations off the walls, I must be tripping Mozart balls A little elf comes up and summons his deck of cards He got the fairy tarot, draws the Arrow and the Bard Suddenly divinity, a flash lights up the whole arena It’s the serenest, leanest magic man I ever seena Even Baskin Robbins couldn’t handle that array of flavors I’m bouncing over to it, casting sparks and triplet quavers snack upon a demon heart, conjure up a ninja fart sakura petals and pink smoke, a sparkle cloud wear it like a mystic shroud, wizard vines that touch the ground cloak and dagger reach around, oh my Glob, it’s spirit-bound! oh my Glob, it’s spirit-bound! Wizards rule I get the power from my wizard jewel And I puff a little wizard fuel That’s how I keep it wizard cool woah… the final showdown, only two contestants stand alone it goes down hard, like the violin on Bach’s chaconne in the enchanted zone, I flex my magic bone our gazes meet, turn down the volume of the battledrome my spells are tight, flowing at unreasonable bpms I’m rhyming right, got the booku-spooku requiem which you evade then drizzle your fine graybles down my back and all over my mind ladle What is this sorcery? Do you mean to torture me? Did you get this potion from Ron James’ bootleg alchemy? Hey, what the math! You can’t use quantum entanglement In a wizard tournament. Our particles are getting bent! Where’d all the magic went? I was just about to get the highest level of arcane ascension and by extension put you away in the dimension of eternal detention by the way, did I mention…that Wizards Rule I got an arsenal of wizard tools Writing the finest licks in all of Ooo I bet you wish you was a wizard too – keep it tight Because these magical skills don't pay the physical bills So I'll be translating chapters of the Enchiridion Charge by the word and I heard it's pretty long You design a website for the magic association Help them out with search engine optimization And wrangle up the trolls on the wizard forum To ensure that they demonstrate the proper decorum What kind of decorum is that? I don’t know, I haven’t figured it out yet Get me to Ron James’ Alchemy Palace Gimme that potion, in a chalice Give me the Ron James’ alchemy magic With cold spells like NO spells And mountains of madness Gimme that magic Gimme that madness That Ron James’ magic and I gotta have it Gimme that madness Gimme that magic That Ron James' magic And I gotta have it

about

This cosmic buffet of ukulele and electronic styles is a tribute EP to my favorite show of all time, Adventure Time, created by Pendleton Ward.
CHECK OUT THE MUSIC VIDEO: youtu.be/NpRmmL3lu3Y
Science BBQ and Wizards Rule! are original songs of mine inspired by the characters in the Land of Ooo, where the cartoon series takes place. The other two are by Rebecca Sugar, one of the musical writers of the show, and they tell part of the story of Marceline the Vampire Queen, who I can relate to more than a little bit.
I invited friend collaborators to guest-produce these tracks, and the result of our year-long group effort is now yours to enjoy. I recommend listening with headphones. It's free fan art, but you can support and follow my music on Patreon if you like!
