Hey Seamonkey -
I first heard you at CotC '08, and became a big fan that night. I bought your COMIN OUT THA CLOSET and DEEP FRIED SOUTHERN LOVE cds, right after your show.
My question is about the untitled tracks that are on the albums. Is there a story behind these, and also - would you be able to provide the titles to the songs?
Also, from the night...I present these for your viewing pleasure:

The songs in question are, I believe, "Tastes Like Trout" (parody of "Take Me Out" by Franz Ferdinand), "Bribe" (which parodies "Drive" by the Cars... it's an '80s group, you youngsters) and "You're a Bitch to Me (I'm a Dick to You)" (a parody of Jewel's "You Were Meant For Me"). Also the old standbys "Altarboy", "Mommie" (live) and "Sheep" done live on the Lex and Terry Radio Show waaaaaaay back in the day.
As for there being any STORY about them... no. I just wanted to have some extra tracks that I hadn't done anything with to be on "Comin' Out Tha Closet" as a special Con on the Cob thing. As with any Seamonkey song, there's really not TOO much based in any single personal experience (minus that aforementioned Jewel song which harkens back to my 1st marriage), but I do know these things thur empirical evidence!!! So the story is: They are special for you as a thanks for coming to the Con and getting my nice package... er, I mean the CD!
Thanks also for the video evidence... I've got to get a better live show!~
XOXO,
~SM

where can i find the parody to shawty is a ten called shawty is a him???
Amanda,
I'll answer your question just as soon as I figure out what the #@^$ all this "shawty" bizness is about.
Whatever happened to good ol' Jive talking? You know, like, "Yo, and what it look like my nig? We gotta slamma jam down on the heatside to stay cool papacat, dig?" Man, now THAT I can understand, but WTF? "SHAWTY"? That crap makes no sense.
Oh yeah, and I have NO idea what that song is.
XOXO,
~The Seamon-Key
(ladies, notice the subliminal spelling... just for YOU!)

Where do you get your karaoke tracks to record your parodies? I have a few friends that want to record parodies for fun and would like to get some karaoke tracks to do so.
Dearest Travis,
It's called the internet.
Love,
~SM
OR WAIT! There IS another option! The one that I have to abide by now which is learn to make your own music or pay someone else who can to do it for you!
Now the tracks I used for Comin' Out Tha Closet were given to me by a friend who sadly is no longer with us. Way to open wounds, dude.
More love,
~SM

will my daughter get married
With an email name like Tommygun and the suffix being at Frontier.net, I'll say the chances of your daughter getting married could go either way.
Either all this gun-toting mystique around you could scare away possible suitors, OR that could be the way it all goes down (shotgun wedding, anyone?).
So, you see, the future of this question lies within you. Was that in a Whitney Houston song or something? Bleech!

If a woodchuck could chuck wood, how much wood would a woodchuck chuck, if a woodchuck could chuck wood? But serious. The main question is, how f'ing awesome is COTC going to be this year?
Are you always redundant with the qualifiers in a question, Zack?
How many woodchucks could you #uck, if you could #uck a woodchuck? That's a BETTER question. My answer there would be three. See how this works, Zack?
COTC (Con On The Cob) in Ohio will be EXTREMELY awesome this year, with another stellar comedy line-up brewing and the presence of this year's sponsor, THE AWFUL SHOW should prove to keep the antics at a high level. And Zack, you KNOW what I mean by "high level".

On 02/06/08, Caz >66< asked
When's the UK tour coming dude ? You can stay in Caz Castle
Dearest Caz,
Thank you for your inquiry. Your generosity brings me to tears. Almost.
Where's the, "I'll pay for your plane ticket" or "I've got sponsorship all lined up with Pepsi" or something like that? You want me to stay in a CASTLE? Those things are dark, dank and have no central heat and air conditioning! What's next, ennui?
Alas Caz, it seems I won't be making it to the UK anytime soon. With gas prices what they are I doubt I could afford to drive that far. However, with the release of The Boobles album slooooooooowly inching forward like an old man who's just been struck by a car working his way to the curb using only his fingernails, you never know! Sir Paul McCartney himself may see fit to bring the band over for public bastardization of his beloved tunes! I mean, he's done worse *cough!*HeatherMills*cough!*
Thanks for your question and hospitality! Let me know when you've got that luxury suite arranged....

where can I obtain a FREE download of the PARODY "If I Only Had A Dame" ?? It seems like I ran across it recently and downloaded it but, cannot find it. Any help will be appreciated - Thank You
Hi Dave, and thanks for your question.
Here's the thing, just because I am gracious enough to give out free mp3s of MY parodies doesn't necessarily mean that I've got the inside dope on other ones. I have NO idea where to obtain the mp3 of which you speak.
BUT...
It seems you may have BIGGER problems than just finding an mp3! "If I Only Had a Dame"??? Dave, your cries of loneliness reverberate across this website! Let me help you out here:
ATTENTION ALL SEAMONKEY FANS!! DAVE NEEDS A GIRL! REPEAT!! DAVE - NEEDS - FEMALE - COMPANIONSHIP!!!
Although calling them "Dames" might not get you too far in this day and age. Might I suggest "shawty" or "saucy little tart."
Yeah, that gets 'em every time.

On 11/12/07, Angry White asked
Angry White again. In case you were wondering, I put some deep thought into your suggestion last time and decided against following your sage wisdom on grounds alone that space sucks. ...Or was it vacuums that do that? Regardless, I've noticed you don't spend as much time now at places I used to see you in. Y'know, places like that one bar, your house, your mistress's house... Which leads to my question: Where are you going? Are you just so busy prepping your next album for the listening pleasure of your eager fans? (Please, let that be a 'yes.') And for my bonus second question(!): do you mind if I start up a Church of Seamonkey? We've got an "Altarboy" all set and ready to give himself up for you. Hugs and Kisses, A&W.
Yeah, Angry White... I've been trying to do some new material for upcoming Seamonkey releases. It's, um, like HARD and stuff.
But ne'er you fear, oh sucker of earth-space, I'll be out and about soon, much to your chagrin and the stuff on yer chin.
The Seamonkette and I went across this great country of ours looking for SOMEONE, ANYONE who would listen to yours truly... and we found about 6 in Ohio!
Not to mention a lot of work for a little podcast (little?) called The Awful Show. Man, those guys really can suck the life right outta a little ol' brine like me! And it sucks SOOOOO good!! Check that out if you dare on iTunes or at www.theafulshow.com .......
ALSO worthy of mention, Boobles HQ is almost finished. Seamonkey has been getting his hands dirtier than the usual whack-whack-whack (IYKWIM) by actually doing some whacking with a hammer and nails. Glenn Milam, guitarist for the Boobles project among other Seamonkey tunes, has been hard at work on a brand new recording studio that I've been helping him build. That will be a GREAT help in producing new music for you to explore yourself by.
By all means, start your "church" of the Seamonkey, if that's what you want to call it. I prefer to call it your little house of delusions.

On 10/01/07, anton asked
why is your name is "seamonkey"
The same reason they call you ANTon... it's our little bitty... nah, that's what one WOULD think, but the truth is a LOT more boring. Or more boring-er. Yeah, doesn't seem as dull when "er" is added!
Picture this, oh Late Show drumming icon:
You're just hanging out at a friend's apartment as an early 20-er, doing what we'll just call "imbibing" late into the evening. As said friend's roommate prepares himself for beddy-bye, he says his goodnights by turning to you and saying, "Goodnight, seamonkey."
What would YOU do? Well Anton, probably the same damn thing that I did... make it your moniker of choice and write parody songs! Brilliant!
So, the boys started calling me Seamonkey all the time after that... it just caught on for them for some reason and when I first infiltrated the karaoke scene by singing my own special little song called "Penis" to Bananarama's "Venus" I didn't want anyone to know my real name in case I was run out of the building. It didn't happen, so I continued and did so with the same name that the old party crew had given me! And now look at me! Answering 2 month old questions on a mediocre website...
again I say BRILLIANT!!
Thanks for your probing question (and please, let's limit "probing" to applying to questions only),
~SM
