Your Turn Now (Updated!)

This is a much needed update to one of our older songs. We originally wrote this song when our dear friends had a baby. It had lyrics like 'Used to be you thought for one, now you think for three." The song worked out fine until three became four. In an effort to make this song viable once again, a complete overhaul was recently performed. Lolo added some great background vocals and we remixed the majority of the synths to reflect a more modern feel.

Tippytoe Frankenstein

Listen to/download this song --> Tippytoe Frankenstein - The Efts

Happy birthday Deanie! Here's a song about Tippytoe Frankenstein, the powerful alter-ego of Deanie and Dylan's youngest son. We had a lot of fun with this one, particularly with the vocals and the synthesizers. Lolo recorded some great chorus vocals (yay!!) for this project. We also extensively used this amazing new addon instrument compilation called SynthPack from AMG. It adds over 150 vintage digital and analog synthesizers to the already sizable instrument library within our Powerbook. Almost all of the sounds in this song are courtesy of the classic synths we discovered in SynthPack.

Lyrics:

Everybody rise
when he comes into the room.
You don't know why?
You'll figure out real soon.

Under a good sign
was born a good friend of mine.
No way to define
Tippytoe Frankenstein.

He has a heart of gold
that he wears on his sleeve.
He's a hero of old.
Salute him for me.
