Title
I Hate Mondays
I am aware of the irony of posting this song almost a year after ending Manic Mondays, but it can't be helped. If it makes you feel any better I originally conceived this song to be a replacement theme song for the podcast, but I guess that wasn't meant to be. This song is a parody of I Love College by Asher Roth.
Tha Professor did the beat and then we sent it to Steve Goodie who did the rest of the music, coached me on my singing, and added some background vocals. We also got background vocals from The Great Luke Ski and a traffic report from author Mur Lafferty.
This song will be on my upcoming CD which will be titled "Gnome Sane?" I was hoping to have the CD done in time for Nerdapalooza but for various reasons that is just not going to be possible. But keep an eye on DevoSpice.com because I will probably start accepting pre-orders in the not too distant future.

It took two hours for me just to wake up this morning, so I especially empathize with this today. Even though it's a Friday, but hey, mornings are stupid week 'round.

Holy crap, you actually hit a note or two! Congrats! :) I like this. I think my favorite part is the contrast between the college parties and the office parties. In a perfect world you'd think the one would prepare you for the other. :)

Nice job. I freakin hate the original song. Thanks for parodying it.

Good song. For some reason I had expected it to be about the Monday after a con from the title. Guess we know where my head is. To quote Garfield: I hate Mondays!!

This pretty much describes my life for the past few decades. Nicely done.

Great song -- I got a lot of chuckles out of it! And I don't even know the song that you parodied.

Was the part about wearing different hats by any chance a Monty Python's Meaning of Life reference?

Super spiffy! Thanks for letting me be part of it. I'm going back to bed now...

Hee! Good stuff.

@TechnoPoet, no. That's something they say in corporate environments when they want you to perform multiple job functions for the same amount of pay.
And thanks everyone! I'm really happy with the way this came out.

Heh, I don't miss college OR a day job. But I would miss Devo Spice so keep making awesome music, my friend.

Turns out this IS your most recent FuMP; 2 months more recent than Flight Check. Go figure. Re-syncing to my ipod for the cathartic experience tomorrow morning. But man, it's just TOO real.
