Mandatory Fun tracks
Hey Jon, which of the 12 tracks on Mandatory Fun is your favorite? Which one did you have the most (mandatory) fun making?
I couldn't tell a dirt clod from a plate of caviar.

Re: Mandatory Fun tracks
I'm hesitant to say anything at this point, because I don't want to sway anyone's opinion. But I do have original faves, and a particular favorite parody.
I don't know if 'fun' is really the right word when it comes playing or programming my parts, it's all work, often a LOT of work. But I have a lot of personal satisfaction and get to shine on just about every track on the album, and I'm very proud of my work on this album in particular.

Re: Mandatory Fun tracks
Now that the tracks & info have leaked, I will reveal my faves.
Parody: Word Crimes. The lyrics are great, the song is infectious, and the video is fabulous! 2nd fave would be Tacky, fun song, lyrics & video.
Originals: Lame Claim To Fame could be a hit on its own, but I think the originals compare favorably with each other, so I'd have to say they're all my faves! Sports Song is obviously a different thing compared to the other 5 'mainstream' tracks, but I like it as well because I got to show off my (old school) marching chops.

Re: Mandatory Fun tracks
What was your reaction when you heard what SportsSong would be musically?

Re: Mandatory Fun tracks
The first question was, would it be a modern 'drumline' vibe, or a traditional marching sound, like the Hogan's Heroes theme! It's somewhere in-between.

Re: Mandatory Fun tracks
It's "Sports Song" the one that by-passed the band demo stage?

Re: Mandatory Fun tracks
Thank you! (Re-reading my post, it would appear I've been listening to "Word Crimes" a bit too much - "It's" should have been "Is", but you all knew that!)
