Title
Pumpkin King
This is both a parody and a cover song! The original parody is by our beloved Filker King, Tom Smith. Go to Tom Smith's bandcamp page to listen to the orig... er, the parody.
In the process of getting ready to participate the Filker Song Swap "Cover to Cover: volume 3" various artists albums (organized by fellow Fump artist Madison Metricula Roberts), the randomizer happened to choose that I should cover a song by fellow Fump artist Tom Smith. I was given a choice of 2 songs, but of course I picked the one that is a parody of a song from my favorite musical, "The Pirates of Penzance" by Gilbert and Sullivan (the original song being officially entitled "Oh Better Far to Live and Die" but probably better known as "Pirate King"). Anyway, you should really look up the Filker Song Swap albums as well! They're on Bandcamp and several other locations.
And then I asked Luke Ski for help getting a group of people together to do backing vocals, but he did such a good job on them by himself that I no longer felt an entire group was needed!
And in case you somehow didn't figure this out, the subject matter of the song is Jack Skellington, the lead character of the 1993 Tim Burton stop-motion Halloween film "The Nightmare Before Christmas".
Instrumental (real accordion and a Suzuki Andes 25F recorder keyboard!!), mixing and mastering by the wonderful Joe Jakubowski. Lyrics by Tom Smith. Lead vocals by Carrie Dahlby. Backing vocals and "gobble gobble" sound effect by Luke Ski.

Downtime Expected
by Devo Spice
We are going to be migrating our media storage to a new host starting tonight. There will likely be some service disruptions with playback and downloads. Hopefully it won't be too long, but please be patient as we get things sorted out. If you need anything while things are broken please email support@fidim.com and we'll be happy to help.
UPDATE: The migration went smoothly. Everything should be working again. If you find any songs that do not play please clear your cache and try again. If that doesn't fix the problem please contact support@fidim.com.
