Jamie Lidell: Cheap Knock Off, Or Happy Return?

You be the judge.

Watch the unicorn video. If you have an aversion to serial killers DATING unicorns and then murdering them, you shouldn't watch the video. Just listen to the music.

Cold Tacos

For every extremely serious song I write, my brain creates at least three ridiculous, wacky songs. A majority of these songs are written around my kids or my students at school. I've noticed that my school written songs TEND to take on a more hip hop vibe.

This song is destined to rank up there with other classic dumb songs, like Unicorn: The Other White Meat, The Chicken Song, or Don't Be Hatin'.

I now present to you, in all it's silliness, Cold Tacos.

Cold Tacos
c2007 Mr. G and the Homies

I like tacos, I like 'em when they're hot
Tacos are good to heat when they're hot
If you get a cold taco that's not so great
Cold tacos on my plate
That's messed up...I don't want no...cold tacos
I don't want no cold tacos

Cold tacos
Cold tacos
Cold tacos

Don't give me no cold tacos
Don't give me no cold tacos
Don't give me no cold tacos



Cold Tacos

Unicorn: The Other White Meat

As I have proven in the past, I am capable of truly cheesy, wacky songs.
This is one of those songs. (And it balances all of those overly serious, heavy songs I write on the flip side).

This song was inspired by THIS t-shirt. I own it. I wear it proudly.
My students either don't get it, think I'm a freak, or laugh quietly so as not to draw attention to themselves.

The opening acoustic guitar solo was inspired by Metallica's song "One".
The double bass drumming was provided by Looperman.
I think all the songs like this are inspired either by Adam Sandler's songs, Homestar Runner's SB Emails, or lack of sleep.

I don't care. I must create. And this is what I created.
I had fun with a program called Audacity in the creation process. It's free and has effects and everything. I use it to create Mp3s as well.

Unicorn: The Other White Meat
by Steven Wesley Guiles

Unicorn the other white meat
Unicorn the other white meat
Unicorn the other white meat...yeah!

Don't taste like chicken, don't taste like frog
it don't taste like chicken, man, it's not dog.

it don't taste like monkeys
it don't taste like elephant
elephants don't taste like chicken and they don't taste like monkeys either...

Chickens and monkeys and elephants don't taste like unicorn
(Unicorn the other white meat, unicorn the other white meat)
Unicorn tastes like..."not chicken"

La La La La Laaaa
I like chicken.



My brother Dave made a video for the song. It's here.

If for some reason, the song is not linked here, you can check out my brother and I's secret Ninja Rock Band, The Shirken Furies. We posted it there as one of our own.
