You maniacs! You really did it!

Casey B. actually set to music and recorded my stupid Eighties poser-pop parody, Chalice of Fire. I cannot explain this.

He says that "AFAIK, there are more versions coming."

Update Having listened to it a couple of times, I have to say: This thing REALLY COULD HAVE gotten airplay in 1983.

At the time he announced it, I happened to be listening to COMAR, his fine collaboration with Eddie Lowther, which seems to be a soul-flavored tribute to a change-of-supplier notification clause in State of Maryland alcohol taxation regulations.

Update update 1. I have reason to believe that some alternate version(s) mentioned above may feature the talents of Interröbang Cartel rock and roll ultra-stars NEVER YET CAPTURED IN RECORDED FORM as they are still TOO HOT FOR MP3. 2. The bridge of Casey B's version can only be fully comprehended by special people.

Once the Harry Potter movies get up to Goblet of Fire, a music video is required, or a recording of http://world.std.com/~mmcirvin/kibology/vaquero.html with accordions.

(And if you're wondering who I actually am, I lurk on ARK, because I'm too lazy to get a Google Groups account to make posts)

Somebody really orta do that Karlo Takki power ballad that I quoted in my 1997 "Chalice of Fire" post, too.

I am having a fun LazyWeb sort of time listening to all this Interrobang Cartel stuff. As a person with zero musical talent I don't feel obligated to put any effort into it. Somebody recorded my lyrics and I didn't have to do anything!

Excellent song, Matt. Your lyrics stir the soul and ignite the spleen. And when I hear the music, I see a movie montage. I love me some montage music.

I was going to say that I wrote those lyrics while unemployment was making my heart sing. But actually I had just gotten hired at that point, and had to switch to shorter works than Evel! the Musical.
