The Most Popular Girls on The Internet Song


The Efts love The Most Popular Girls on the Internet


They've made us laugh for hours.  They've informed us of the various facets of their lives which have oddly paralleled our own.  They are wickedly smart and nerdily fascinating.  They are The Most Popular Girls on the Internet.  Each week we welcome our favorite podcast hosts Tara and Cassandra into our home via our interlines.  Catching up with TMPGOTI has become such an important part of our lives that we wanted to thank them via this gift-song.  We are literally begging anyone reading this to check out their site and become addicted to their ways.  The Most Popular Girls on the Internet: brightening the lives of the geek community for almost 200 episodes.

Lyrics:


Every time they put their voices on the microphone
they send it to the speakers found within my car and home
They don't need a Y to go with their X chromosomes
They are the most, the most popular.

Every week I get some weekly geeky stereo love
As a geek I need to know about all this stuff
Once a week is never ever really enough
of girls on the internet.

They are the most popular
They are the most popular
They are the most popular
girls on the internet

They may talk about the news from in Ice Station C
They may chat about the games that they have played lately
They may drink and shout about something that's on TV
They are the most, the most popular.

The Most Popular Girls on the Internet Celebrate Jameson Day Very Loudly


Listen to the excellent podcast here -->  TMPGOTI Episode 194

We learned something last week.  We learned how to create unholy burps using common household liquors. Want to know more?  Check out the above link and listen as The Most Popular Girls on the Internet explode digestively.  They also discuss Hunger Games, Guild Wars 2, Devil May Cry, women as gamers, and still have time to squeeze in our latest song Holding Hands for Forty Years.  Hearing Tara and Cassandra (aka Gassy Sassy) congratulate Shannon's folks on their 40th anniversary was a surreal and wonderful experience.  Thanks (as always) go out to our favorite podcast for continuing to support us.

The Efts 5th album released!




Download Emoticon here ---> The Efts - Emoticon on Google Play

Huzzah!  We've released our 5th free collection of songs in album form which is now available on Google Play.  Emoticon is a group of songs we developed over the last few months.  Some of the tunes were written for family, some for friends, some for guildies, some for science, a few for just us, and one cover of a song written by even more friends.  We hope you enjoy this newest free album. Each of the songs have been polished recently and are in better shape than in their previous postings on this site.  We'd like to thank Jackson for his excellent work with the album art.  Keep up the great work Jack!  You're an incredible artist.

Further thanks go out to our parents, Cacapon Institute, all of our beta listeners, our guildies, Creep of Crows, Brandon Judy, Chris A Ivey, Tanner Haid, Tara and Cassandra of The Most Popular Girls on the Internet, The Siege, and everyone who downloaded this album.

Holding Hands for Forty Years




This song is particularly special.  Shannon's parents are celebrating their 40th wedding anniversary this month so we wrote them this gift-song.  They've made the last four decades a work of collaborative art.  Its been magical for those of us who have had the opportunity to bear witness to their relationship.  Sometimes two people are destined to be together, which is a big reason why this song pretty much wrote itself.  Thanks Mom and Dad for being who you are.  We love you!!

Lyrics:

Easy to say they'll be forever.
Hard to see the time in those you hold most dear.
Sharing the weight of their endeavor.
They've been holding hands for forty years.

Partnership redefined.
When one slips, the other holds the line.
They are like an endless meadow
swaying in a gentle sunny breeze.

Holding hands for forty years.
All this time they've been together.
Holding hands for forty years.
Heart and soul they have been tethered.
Together.

The Efts on The Siege episode 30!


Listen to the podcast here --> The Siege #30 Living Through the Living Story

Radio is a dismal affair in the rural area in which we live.  None of the stations that reach our tiny woodland cabin play anything of interest, which is why we turn to podcasts for our ear-tainment.  Along with The Most Popular Girls on the Internet and the now retired Radio Free Hipster, we have been listening to several Guild Wars 2 podcasts.  Our favorite of the latter is The Siege.   The Siege is hosted by legit fans of the game who seem to love sharing their stories and knowledge with their listeners.  We were very excited to hear our guild's theme song played on the most recent episode.  Thanks, The Siege!  You've continually enhanced our enjoyment of GW2, and we look forward to hearing many more episodes of your excellent podcast.
