Title
Gamer Funk
I've been threatening to do this idea for a long time. Going to as many as 20 cons a year for years, you start to notice certain patterns in fandom. And well...it was time. Just remember that I am a fan and a geek too, and I don't mean you personally. Unless I do. Many thanks to ShoEboX and Chris Mezzolesta for extremely last minute vocal drop-ins!

You conveyed that funk perfectly in this song.

Unfortunately, this will be an evergreen song, as I don't see the gamer funk going away anytime soon *gets out the clothespin for my nose*

Rockawesome. It amazes me how much you make Kevin MacLeod's backing tracks sound like they were intended for what you wrote.

Kyle- It's just the musical equivalent of a PartiallyClips. :)

It's funny cause it's true. So damn true.

Dude, this is pretty funked up, right there. :-)

Oh lord, aside from needing a verse about how this also applies to some people in fandom who aren't gamers (some of the furries, comic fans and general sf fans), this is perfect! I agree with Insane Ian, it's funny because it's true... also sad because it's true, but funny mostly.

If you're ever in California, I'll have to introduce you to my band of funky gamers (In the good way, don't worry).

"It's cool you're good at math. You're not as good at bath. Are you a sociopath? Just take a shower". :^) I am unschooled in the ways of geeks and Cons, but I can understand what you're sayin, Rob. Perhaps I should write a song about the "Vermont Hippy Funk", which is a combination of pot smoke, regular cigarette smoke, food-encrusted dirty dishes in the sink, and oriental inscence to cover it all up. I have friends who live like this, no joke. Oh, and great work with the song.

AH, and I thought it was MY set creating these stenches....

Who's got the funk? Rob Balder does. I'll forever hear this song in my head now whenever I'm at a con. Great work, Rob. Lots of LOL lyrics. I always pack a stick of deodorant in my backpack every con. I wish a lot more con goers did.

I'm totally charting this out. Must play it live with you at the next con we're both at.

I need this on a boombox on repeat when I dress up as the HygieneFairy at cons!

One of my favorite songs by you ever. You obviously work better when doing stuff at the LAST POSSIBLE MINUTE. Well done!
