<p>Pretzelman227: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Clown Circus''' is the first album ever released as [[Lemon Demon]]. <br /> {{Infobox album<br /> |title = Clown Circus<br /> |artist = Lemon Demon<br /> |albumart = Clown Circus.jpg<br /> |disc_Category = Album<br /> |year = April 5, 2003<br /> |recorded = 2002-2003<br /> |length = 49:26<br /> |label = Self-released<br /> |producers = [[Neil Cicierega]]<br /> |reviews =<br /> |addtlInfo =<br /> |lastAlbum = [[Dimes]]&lt;br&gt;(2002)&lt;br&gt;(as [[Trapezoid]])<br /> |thisAlbum = '''Clown Circus'''&lt;br&gt;(2003)<br /> |externalLinks = [http://www.lemondemon.com/Lemon%20Demon%20-%20First%20four%20albums/Clown%20Circus%20(2003)/ MP3]<br /> |nextAlbum = [[Live from the Haunted Candle Shop]]&lt;br&gt;(2003)<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Description==<br /> The album features a heavily revamped sound quite different from the material released as [[Deporitaz]], with an emphasis on vocals and more guitar. [[Neil]]'s singing is still quite immature, as he was only 17 at the time of the album's release.<br /> <br /> The instrumentals on this album also become substantially grander and higher quality, especially on tracks where the instrumental is the focus like [[Somnolence]] and [[Elsewhere]]. These two tracks especially show how much [[Neil]] grew between his [[Deporitaz]] era and this first [[Lemon Demon]] album in terms of assembling instrumentals.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> ===Creation===<br /> This album was presumably created in quick succession to the [[Deporitaz]] album [[Dimes]]. [[Neil]] wanted a fresh start to his musical career, this time leaning much more heavily into his singing and lyrical capabilities, though this album does still have two mostly instrumental tracks ([[Error]] and [[Elsewhere]]).<br /> <br /> ===Release===<br /> The album was originally released on CD and for download via Mp3.com on April 5th, 2003. It became out of print when Mp3.com shut down in December 2003.<br /> <br /> The album was later included in its entirety on the data track of all [[Hip to the Javabean]] CDs. In April 2009, [[Neil]] offered this album for free download on [http://lemondemon.com/ Lemondemon.com], alongside [[Live from the Haunted Candle Shop]], [[Hip to the Javabean]], and [[Damn Skippy]]. It is one of [[Live from the Haunted Candle Shop| two]] [[Lemon Demon]] albums to not have been remastered by [[Needlejuice Records]].<br /> <br /> ===Post-Release===<br /> [[Hyakugojyuuichi 2003]] became the most popular song that [[Neil]] had ever released shortly after this album's release. It infiltrated multiple different areas of the internet at the time, such as [[Newgrounds]]. This caused more people to recognize [[Neil]] outside of the [[Animutation]]-sphere that he was in at the time. Between the release of this and [[Live from the Haunted Candle Shop]], [[Neil]] created a [[LiveJournal]] account to document his progress on the album and other diaretical details about his life to entertain his meager fan-base.<br /> <br /> ==Track listing==<br /> #[[Error]]<br /> #[[Lemon Demon (song)|Lemon Demon]]<br /> #[[Ten Thousand Light Years Away]]<br /> #[[Don’t Be Like the Sun]]<br /> #[[Bowling Alley]]<br /> #[[Wrong]]<br /> #[[Hazel’s Modus Operandi]]<br /> #[[Idiot Control Now]]<br /> #[[Pepper and Salt]]<br /> #[[Holy Bison Beaks!]]<br /> #[[Somnolence]]<br /> #[[Fire Motif]]<br /> #[[Hyakugojyuuichi 2003]]<br /> #[[Elsewhere]]<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> *The chord progression of Somnolence was interpolated on Nuclear Bubble Wrap's song Time is an Illusion.<br /> *This is the only [[Lemon Demon]] album to feature a guest vocalist on multiple songs. [[View-Monster]] and its song [[Knife Fight]] is the only other release to feature a guest vocalist at all.<br /> *This is one of the only albums to use analog synths in multiple songs, most prominently in Bowling Alley and Somnolence. The synth used was a Yamaha CS15.<br /> *No images of the original Mp3.com CD or rips of it are currently known to exist, although it is most likely that they contain the same MP3 files as the [http://lemondemon.com/ Lemondemon.com] download, and not lossless FLAC files.</div>

However, by the time of recording [[Spirit Phone: Commentary|Spirit Phone's commentary track]], he found [https://youtu.be/jgcbXn-qomg?si=IkKb5ym3BGlpse2_ another song titled Reaganomics] which he jokingly said &quot;is more to-the-point&quot; than his. The song features cheesy synth passages with vapid political jargon vocals all centered around wanting to get you to vote for Ronald Reagan.<br /> <br /> [[Neil]] spoke of the song in his commentary of [[Spirit Phone]]: &lt;blockquote&gt; &quot;I consider Reagan a pretty bad president, though I wasn’t conscious then. This was written before Trump, and I was fascinated that an actor became president, and that he was canonized and that everyone just takes it for granted now. Of course he did serve as a governor… and it doesn’t seem as crazy now but… I was looking at all these old pictures of Reagan dressed all slickly in his suits, and I felt that amping up the superficial charm to sell people on something that doesn’t really make sense works all too well in a pop song. You just have to say “baby” a lot, and make endless promises cause the song ends in 3 minutes. And it was astounding to me to realize how stepping into the role of a snake oil salesman bent on deceiving the listener- how easy that made it to write a passable pop song. And now anytime I hear a song when some guy is reaching out his hand and asking you to trust him in his heart I just wonder… What scam he’s running?&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> The quote that Reagan says within the song is not real, but rather a result of very light sentence mixing.&lt;ref&gt;Neil states in the commentary track, &quot;I edited it to be more nonsensical, though it was pretty nonsensical to begin with.&quot;&lt;/ref&gt; This quote comes from Reagan's 1981 inaugural address.<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> A [[Reaganomics 2012 Demo|demo of this song]] was released to the public, as [[Neil]] thought that he was taking too long on the album's release. The song was changed drastically between the 2012 and 2016 versions, with entirely re-recorded instrumentals and vocals. Many of the [[Illemonati]] did not like the new version, as we were used to the old one, but most of us like them both equally now. There is also [[Reaganomics 2011 Demo|another demo version]] for this song recorded in 2011, with an even rougher mix and toned-back vocal delivery.<br /> <br /> ==Lyrics==<br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;<br /> RONALD REAGAN:<br /> In this present crisis, <br /> Government is not the solution to our problem.<br /> Government is the solution to our problem.<br /> <br /> NEIL:<br /> Are you unhappy, girl?<br /> In this confusing world,<br /> Where everything you earn<br /> Is getting left to burn,<br /> If it were up to me,<br /> Then living would be free.<br /> And I can give you that,<br /> And I can give you that!<br /> <br /> They'll take<br /> Your money<br /> Into<br /> Their greasy hands.<br /> And spend (They do this to)<br /> Your money (Disrespect you)<br /> And take (I know Kung Fu)<br /> Away your land.

<p>Pretzelman227: /* History */</p> <hr /> <div>'''You're at the Party''' is the fourth bonus track on the 2016 [[Lemon Demon]] album [[Spirit Phone]].<br /> {{Infobox_song<br /> |title = You're at the Party<br /> |artist = Lemon Demon <br /> |year = 2016 <br /> |albumart = Spirit Phone.jpg <br /> |writer = Neil Cicierega <br /> |singer = [[Neil Cicierega]] <br /> |album = [[Spirit Phone]] <br /> |duration = 5:20<br /> |tempo = 129<br /> |genre = Synth Pop, Horror <br /> |language = English <br /> |externalLinks = [https://open.spotify.com/track/2qMYtkGcWvBypmC22Abm65?si=96c2b5a48b6d4c96 Spotify], [https://youtu.be/-Il7G4KUuHg?si=OCNsAa5rNtnj1Acf Youtube], [https://needlejuice.bandcamp.com/track/youre-at-the-party Bandcamp]<br /> }}<br /> ==Description==<br /> This song is about not being able to sleep because there is a party occurring nearby your bedroom. The song has a creepy, mystical vibe similar to a lot of songs on the first half of [[Spirit Phone]], like [[Eighth Wonder]] and [[When He Died]]. The reason it was not included on the main album is simply because [[Neil]] felt he never &quot;finished (the track) to his liking.&quot;<br /> <br /> [[Neil]] explains the track on [[Spirit Phone]]'s [[Spirit Phone: Commentary|commentary track]], stating: &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;It’s about a sick person who’s trying to sleep while a noisy party happens next door, and it gradually overtakes him and invades his nightmares- or are they nightmares…? I don’t know, it’s ambiguous.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> This song seems to be one of the older tracks to be worked on heavily for [[Spirit Phone]], with a full demo instrumental created by [[Neil]] in early 2011. It has two demo versions, both released in the [[Lemon Demon 2024 Rarities Dump]]. <br /> <br /> The first was finished March 1, 2011, titled [[Ashwagandha.mp3]], a song title referencing a medicinal plant. This song features no lyrics, but a decently similar instrumental to the song released on the album, albeit missing some parts.<br /> <br /> The second of the song's demos, aptly titled [[You're at the Party (2012 Demo)|you're at the party.mp3]] features early sets of vocals and an improved instrumental, but it has multiple different lyrical passages that were changed heavily by the time of the song's release. This demo was finished April 30, 2012.<br /> <br /> ==Lyrics==<br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;<br /> Hour hand's gone from two to three, now four.<br /> You've barely slept all night,<br /> All the noise and lights and<br /> Party songs next door<br /> Are too much.<br /> <br /> Ooh, They make you sweat.<br /> Half awake, soaking wet,<br /> Fever dream.<br /> People screaming bloody murder<br /> <br /> Paint chips flaking off the neighboring wall.<br /> As the night goes on and <br /> Threatens the dawn,<br /> The music fills the hall<br /> <br /> They're in your house.<br /> You lock the door.<br /> You shut your eyes tight as your<br /> Window breaks.<br /> <br /> Someone,<br /> Something takes your hand.<br /> You don't understand.<br /> You can't understand it.<br /> <br /> Eyes shut tight, never open up<br /> <br /> (Too late) You've been invited,<br /> (Too late) You're at the party,<br /> (Wake up, wake up) And it's a place you've seen before.<br /> (Whoa-oh-oh) You've seen before<br /> (Whoa-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh-oh)<br /> <br /> A place you've seen before you were born.<br /> <br /> Now you are dancing,<br /> You're with your people,<br /> You're not alone.<br /> Now you are drinking,<br /> Having a party,<br /> You're not alone.<br /> <br /> (Too late) You are the party!<br /> (Wake up) You are the nuisance.<br /> (Too late) You're not alone.<br /> (Wake up) It's not a nightmare.<br /> (Too late) You are delightful.<br /> (Wake up) You're not alone.<br /> (Too late) You've been invited.<br /> (Wake up) You're at the party.<br /> (Too late) You're not alone.<br /> (Wake up) You've been invited.<br /> (Too late) You're at the party and you notice that the-<br /> <br /> Sun's not rising, <br /> And the birds aren't there.<br /> There's only dust on the floor<br /> Where people were before,<br /> And the dream won't leave your head.<br /> It won't leave.<br /> <br /> You need a drink.<br /> Half-empty bottles in the sink,<br /> Down the drain.<br /> Sudden rain outside alarms you.<br /> <br /> Hour hand's gone and now you're feeling strange!<br /> Now your hands grow strong, your fingers long,<br /> And your face,<br /> Your face begins to change.<br /> <br /> Ooh, you're mesmerized<br /> You want to cover up your eyes<br /> But they're already shut so tight...<br /> <br /> A whisper in your ear,<br /> Only you can hear,<br /> Only you can hear it.<br /> <br /> Eyes shut tight, never open up<br /> <br /> Too late (mmm)<br /> Too late (ooh-ooh)<br /> <br /> You've been invited<br /> You're at the party<br /> And it's a place you've seen before<br /> (Too late) You've been invited<br /> (Too late) You're at the party<br /> (Wake up, wake up) And it's a place you've seen before<br /> You've seen before!<br /> <br /> A place you've seen before you were born<br /> Before you were born!<br /> Before you were born! <br /> Before you were born!<br /> <br /> (Too late) You've been invited<br /> (Wake up) You're at the party<br /> (Too late) You're not alone<br /> (Wake up) You've been invited<br /> (Too late) You're at the party<br /> (Wake up) You're not alone<br /> (Too late) You are the uproar!<br /> (Wake up) You are the party<br /> (Too late) You're not alone<br /> (Wake up) It's not a nightmare<br /> (Too late) You're at the party and you're not alone.&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Alternate Versions==<br /> *[[Ashwagandha.mp3]]<br /> *[[You're at the Party (2012 Demo)]]<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> *This song seems to lyrically reference, or at least take inspiration from, Hotel California by The Eagles.</div>

<p>Pretzelman227: </p> <hr /> <div>'''You're at the Party''' is the fourth bonus track on the 2016 [[Lemon Demon]] album [[Spirit Phone]].<br /> {{Infobox_song<br /> |title = You're at the Party<br /> |artist = Lemon Demon <br /> |year = 2016 <br /> |albumart = Spirit Phone.jpg <br /> |writer = Neil Cicierega <br /> |singer = [[Neil Cicierega]] <br /> |album = [[Spirit Phone]] <br /> |duration = 5:20<br /> |tempo = 129<br /> |genre = Synth Pop, Horror <br /> |language = English <br /> |externalLinks = [https://open.spotify.com/track/2qMYtkGcWvBypmC22Abm65?si=96c2b5a48b6d4c96 Spotify], [https://youtu.be/-Il7G4KUuHg?si=OCNsAa5rNtnj1Acf Youtube], [https://needlejuice.bandcamp.com/track/youre-at-the-party Bandcamp]<br /> }}<br /> ==Description==<br /> This song is about not being able to sleep because there is a party occurring nearby your bedroom. The song has a creepy, mystical vibe similar to a lot of songs on the first half of [[Spirit Phone]], like [[Eighth Wonder]] and [[When He Died]]. The reason it was not included on the main album is simply because [[Neil]] felt he never &quot;finished (the track) to his liking.&quot;<br /> <br /> [[Neil]] explains the track on [[Spirit Phone]]'s [[Spirit Phone: Commentary|commentary track]], stating: &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;It’s about a sick person who’s trying to sleep while a noisy party happens next door, and it gradually overtakes him and invades his nightmares- or are they nightmares…? I don’t know, it’s ambiguous.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> This song seems to be one of the older tracks to be worked on heavily for [[Spirit Phone]], with a full demo instrumental created by [[Neil]] in March of 2011. It has two demo versions, both released in the [[Lemon Demon 2024 rarities dump]]. The first was finished March 1, 2011. It is titled [[Ashwagandha.mp3]], a song title referencing a medicinal plant. This song features no lyrics, but almost all of the instrumental to the final version of the song, just recorded differently. The second of the song's demos, aptly titled [[You're at the Party (2012 Demo)|you're at the party.mp3]] features early sets of vocals and an improved instrumental, but it has multiple different lyrical passages that were changed heavily by the time of the song's release.

Preston and Theodore Logan,<br /> Spock, The Rock, Doc Ock, and Hulk Hogan<br /> All came out of no where lightning fast,<br /> They kicked Chuck Norris in his cowboy ass.<br /> It was the bloodiest battle the world ever saw,<br /> Civilians were looking on in total awe.<br /> <br /> The fight raged on for a century.<br /> Many lives were claimed, but eventually<br /> The champion stood, the rest saw their better:<br /> Mr. Rogers in a bloodstained sweater.<br /> <br /> This is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny.<br /> Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see.<br /> And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be.<br /> This is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny<br /> This is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny.<br /> Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see.<br /> And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be.<br /> This is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny<br /> This is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny.<br /> Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see.<br /> And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be.<br /> This is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny<br /> This is the Ultimate Showdown of Ultimate Destiny.<br /> Good guys, bad guys, and explosions as far as the eye can see.<br /> And only one will survive, I wonder who it will be.<br /> This is the Ultimate Showdown...

Early versions of the song were titled &quot;Experiments in the Revival&quot; before Neil settled on the title, which is a reference to a 1940's Soviet film called ''[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Experiments_in_the_Revival_of_Organisms Experiments in the Revival of Organisms]''. Also within the commentary, Neil explains the meaning of the lyrics:<br /> <br /> &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;...I got this whole song about creepy scientists reviving dead musicians, reviving them straight into new contracts like performing animals. This song idea goes back to 2012, when there was that whole, I guess scandal about the hologram version of Tupac... remember that? I barely remember that, but, anyway, the early 2010's is where this song was born. And the references to Michael Jackson's death and to Katy Perry sort of date it, but not too badly, 'cause Katy Perry's still doing her thing and Michael Jackson's still dead.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> There are multiple demo versions of the song available, dating back to 2011. The first demo available, dated October 2nd, 2011, was titled &quot;[[Lifetime Achievement Award 2011 Demo|RocketScience.mp3]]&quot; (which can be found [https://lemondemon.com/rarities/RocketScience.mp3 here]). This version features lots of similar instrumental elements as the final version, but lacks any lyrics. The bridge's instrumental is the most changed, now featuring claps. The second version, titled &quot;[[Lifetime Achievement Award 2012 Demo|Experiments in the Revival.mp3]]&quot; (which can be found [https://lemondemon.com/rarities/Experiments%20in%20the%20Revival.mp3 here]) features a very similar instrumental to the 2011 demo, however it is slightly extended and now has vocals layered on top of it. The lyrics featured on this version of the song are mostly the same, with a few changed lyrics throughout the song.<br /> <br /> ==Lyrics==<br /> &lt;nowiki&gt;Die-hard fans adored your hands<br /> They loved your throat and, quote-unquote, &quot;you&quot;<br /> Hey, remember Michael Jackson?<br /> Michael Jackson really happened<br /> Delta Echo Alpha Delta<br /> Walking on the moon forever<br /> <br /> You are dead and buried, you are dead (Oh no)<br /> That's being revised!<br /> Even as we speak we're synthesizing blood and organs<br /> Synthesizing heart and soul<br /> Even Katy Perry knows you're dead (Oh no)<br /> Won't she be surprised!<br /> When we get your heart to start tomorrow<br /> When you see the chart tomorrow you'll be number one<br /> <br /> Bro, you look amazing!<br /> Really put together<br /> It's like you haven't aged a day<br /> It's like we know what we're doing or something<br /> You've been gone for way too long<br /> Like half a year - an entire career for some<br /> Good luck getting into Heaven<br /> If you live past twenty-seven<br /> Listen to the radiation<br /> Put you back in circulation, oh no!<br /> <br /> You are dead and buried, you are dead (Oh no)<br /> Oh, but you never died!<br /> Even as we speak we're synthesizing blood and organs<br /> Synthesizing heart and soul<br /> Ain't no cemetery you can't shed (Oh no)<br /> Ain't nowhere you can hide!<br /> Don't be frightened of us<br /> Soon enough you're gonna love us, just remember<br /> <br /> This is your last ride ever, forever<br /> Fill up your lungs - feel better?<br /> Look - it's you, good as new<br /> New hands, new throat, new living tissue<br /> You earned this new purpose<br /> Lifetime achievement award<br /> <br /> Don't be nervous, baby<br /> We put a billion eyes back on you<br /> From the grave to the stage<br /> You're unnatural, babe!<br /> <br /> You are dead and buried, you are dead (Oh no)<br /> That's being revised!<br /> Even as we speak we're synthesizing blood and organs<br /> Synthesizing heart and soul<br /> Even Katy Perry knows you're dead (Oh no)<br /> Won't she be surprised!<br /> When we get your heart to start tomorrow<br /> When you see the chart tomorrow you'll be number one<br /> (Oh no, oh no)<br /> <br /> Due to my strong personal convictions<br /> (Due to my strong personal convictions)<br /> I wish to stress (I wish to stress)<br /> That this record (That this record)<br /> In no way endorses (In no way endorses)<br /> A belief in the occult (A belief in the occult)<br /> Due to my strong personal convictions<br /> (Due to my strong personal convictions)<br /> I wish to stress (I wish to stress)<br /> That this record (That this record)<br /> In no way endorses (In no way endorses)<br /> A belief in the occult (A belief in the occult)<br /> Due to my strong personal convictions<br /> (Due to my strong personal convictions)<br /> I wish to stress (I wish to stress)<br /> That this record (That this record)<br /> In no way endorses (In no way endorses)<br /> A belief (A belief)<br /> In the occult&lt;/nowiki&gt;<br /> <br /> ==Alternate Versions==<br /> *[[Lifetime Achievement Award 2011 Demo]] (&quot;RocketScience.mp3&quot;)<br /> *[[Lifetime Achievement Award 2012 Demo]] (&quot;Experiments in the Revival.mp3)<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> * The lyric &quot;You're unnatural, babe!&quot; is a pun/wordplay on &quot;You're a natural, babe!&quot;<br /> * The robot-sounding voice within the song is an Atari speech synthesis program outputting vocals that Neil broke up into different syllables to form words.<br /> * However, the voice at the end of the song, although robot-like, is Neil reciting a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson Michael Jackson] quote from the beginning of the [https://youtu.be/sOnqjkJTMaA?si=ViFZx3TKfFO7DNAt &quot;Thriller&quot; Music Video], changing &quot;Film&quot; to &quot;Record.&quot; This same quote can be found on the inside of the CD versions produced by [[Needlejuice Records]].</div>

This song idea goes back to 2012, when there was that whole, I guess scandal about the hologram version of Tupac... remember that? I barely remember that, but, anyway, the early 2010's is where this song was born.

Pretzelman227 http://wiki.mumbergo.net/index.php?title=Reaganomics&diff=3185 2026-08-06T23:41:45Z

<p>Pretzelman227: </p> <hr /> <div>'''Reaganomics''' is the twelfth song on the 2016 [[Lemon Demon]] album [[Spirit Phone]].<br /> {{Infobox_song<br /> |title = Reaganomics<br /> |artist = Lemon Demon<br /> |albumart = Spirit Phone.jpg<br /> |writer = Neil Cicierega<br /> |singer =[[Neil Cicierega]]<br /> |album = [[Spirit Phone]]<br /> |duration = 3:31<br /> |genre = Pop, Synth Pop<br /> |language = English<br /> |externalLinks = [https://youtu.be/VjCyVfBiwpE?si=4YxNBTUvsfsue4vE Video (uses [[Reaganomics 2012 Demo|2012 demo]])]&lt;br&gt;[https://open.spotify.com/track/0BAPJxaC3d0UF73L091EyI?si=8a1bc61655fe4d0b Spotify]&lt;br&gt;[https://lemondemon.bandcamp.com/track/reaganomics Bandcamp]&lt;br&gt;[https://youtu.be/S3kTUULBAt0?si=hB9Cp8yegavLK87k Youtube]]&lt;br&gt;[https://youtu.be/ayQ2DvrGgRE?si=82D3-uMDHs4hDalx 2011 Demo]&lt;br&gt;[https://youtu.be/yz6OvJOx0C8?si=aFkXWkCYbcb6xVSL 2012 Demo]<br /> |BPM = 135<br /> }}<br /> ==Description==<br /> [[Neil]] created this song because he thought the word &quot;reaganomics&quot; sounded cool and could not find any other songs titled it. However, by the time of recording [[Spirit Phone: Commentary|Spirit Phone's commentary track]], he found [https://youtu.be/jgcbXn-qomg?si=IkKb5ym3BGlpse2_ another song titled Reaganomics] which he jokingly said &quot;is more to-the-point&quot; than his. The song features cheesy synth passages with vapid political jargon vocals all centered around wanting to get you to vote for Ronald Reagan.<br /> <br /> [[Neil]] spoke of the song in his commentary of [[Spirit Phone]]: &lt;blockquote&gt; &quot;I consider Reagan a pretty bad president, though I wasn’t conscious then. This was written before Trump, and I was fascinated that an actor became president, and that he was canonized and that everyone just takes it for granted now. Of course he did serve as a governor… and it doesn’t seem as crazy now but… I was looking at all these old pictures of Reagan dressed all slickly in his suits, and I felt that amping up the superficial charm to sell people on something that doesn’t really make sense works all too well in a pop song.

[[Neil]] spoke about writing this song in [[Damn Skippy: Commentary|the album's commentary track]]: &lt;blockquote&gt;&quot;First thing I wrote before I came up with the idea of pumpkin pie was the first verse there. Then I had to think of something for him to be selling, and pumpkin pie fit and had enough things I could rhyme it with.&quot;&lt;/blockquote&gt;<br /> <br /> ==History==<br /> The song was originally released on July 19th, 2004.&lt;ref&gt;https://trapezzoid.livejournal.com/2004/07/19/&lt;/ref&gt; This [https://mumbergo.net/files/Audio/Misc/Lemon%20Demon%20-%20Pumpkin%20Pie%20%5bEarly%20Version%5d.mp3 early version] is missing the accordion present in the album version. [[Neil]] states in the commentary track for [[Damn Skippy]] that he received this accordion as a birthday gift on his 18th birthday, which would not occur until August of 2004, explaining why the accordion is missing from the original version.<br /> <br /> ==Lyrics==<br /> There lived a merchant in the days of old,<br /> Who is remembered for the things he sold.<br /> No silly trinkets, silver, bronze, or gold.<br /> So I’m told, so I’m told.<br /> <br /> He made a most delicious pumpkin pie,<br /> Which he presented to the passersby.<br /> Before the sun set he’d be all but dry.<br /> Folks would buy the whole supply.<br /> <br /> He lived alone, (He lived alone.)<br /> And every night he sat upon a throne of pumpkin pie.<br /> I do not know his name. (He’d never say his name.)<br /> He never wanted all the fame that came with pumpkin pie.<br /> <br /> Before you knew it he was in full swing.<br /> His pumpkin pies became the next big thing.<br /> Soon he was called upon to feed the king.<br /> And they’d sing, feed the king.<br /> <br /> The pie of pumpkin filled the King with glee.<br /> He offered a castle for the recipe, but<br /> The merchant wouldn’t even give it up for three.<br /> No not he, no not he.<br /> <br /> He lived alone, (He lived alone.)<br /> And every night he sat upon a throne of pumpkin pie.<br /> I do not know his name. (He’d never say his name.)<br /> He never wanted all the fame that came with pumpkin pie.<br /> <br /> The king was angry and he came unwound.<br /> He called his men and soon the merchant found<br /> Himself in a torture chamber underground.<br /> Tied and bound, he sighed and frowned.<br /> <br /> And so they tortured him for night and day.<br /> They made him scream so much his hair turned gray, but<br /> As for the recipe, he would not say.<br /> They could not flay his pride away.<br /> <br /> He lived alone, (He lived alone.)<br /> And every night he sat upon a throne of pumpkin pie.<br /> I do not know his name. (He’d never say his name.)<br /> He never wanted all the pain that came with pumpkin pie.<br /> <br /> == Live Performances ==<br /> <br /> * [https://youtu.be/8I4xZC5-fB8 Hooray Radio (date unknown)]<br /> * [https://mumbergo.net/files/Audio/Live%20Recordings/2006.07.30%20-%20Lemonic%20Demonade%202006/ Lemonic Demonade 2006 (July 30th, 2006, Kingston, MA)]<br /> * [https://mumbergo.net/files/Audio/Live%20Recordings/2007.07.29%20-%20Lemonic%20Demonade%202007/ Lemonic Demonade 2007 (July 29th, 2007, Kingston, MA)]<br /> * [https://youtu.be/RkNXtREOp0M Youmacon 2008 (October 31st, 2008, Dearborn, MI)]<br /> * [https://youtu.be/o_eMbt25HQg Youmacon 2009 (October 31st, 2009, Dearborn, MI)]<br /> <br /> ==Trivia==<br /> *This song has an official backing that was used for [[Lemon Demon live|live performances]].<br /> [[Category:Songs with backings]]</div>
