Old Lyrics - Bill On The Street
Bill On The Street
They say let the system work for you
And it's gone, don't let it
Affect you
It'll all flip over
Within ten days you'll have it all
Within five more it'll all be gone
Hollywood is calling me (you)
Burnt out all the options
And transactions that could
Affect you
It'll all be over
Within ten days you'll have it all
Within five more it'll all be gone
Hollywood is killing me (us)
The lights are as bright as
They said they should be
Pretty girls full of plastic
Pretty boys full of plastic
All paid for with plastic
And I'm no ecstatic
The machine runs smooth for you
Gears well oiled, all is cool
L.A. sunset reminds me of you
Now, it's over
Within ten days I'm going home
Within five days I'll be on my own
Hollywood tried to kill us.
They say let the system work for you
And it's gone, don't let it
Affect you
It'll all flip over
Within ten days you'll have it all
Within five more it'll all be gone
Hollywood is calling me (you)
Burnt out all the options
And transactions that could
Affect you
It'll all be over
Within ten days you'll have it all
Within five more it'll all be gone
Hollywood is killing me (us)
The lights are as bright as
They said they should be
Pretty girls full of plastic
Pretty boys full of plastic
All paid for with plastic
And I'm no ecstatic
The machine runs smooth for you
Gears well oiled, all is cool
L.A. sunset reminds me of you
Now, it's over
Within ten days I'm going home
Within five days I'll be on my own
Hollywood tried to kill us.

Old Lyrics - This Is The Best Day of My Life
This Is The Best Day Of My Life
When I woke up this mornin’ I fell outta bed
This is the best day of my life
When I got dressed I ripped o hole in my pants
This is the best day of my life
Ready for work, get in my car, outta gas
This is the best day of my life
Late for work, I take the bus, someone stole my wallet
This is the best day of my life
My boss tells me to go home, I’m fired
This is the best day of my life
When I get home my girlfriend calls to tell me she’s pregnant
This is the best day of my life
And the baby isn’t mine
This is the best day of my life
I dump her, she tells me to drop dead
This is the best day of my life
At night I go out dancing, I break my leg
This is the best day of my life
Ambulance comes, the driver is drunk
This is the best day of my life
It hits a truck, and goes up in flames
This is the best day of my life
I jump from the fire and fall in a ditch
This is the best day of my life
There is a suitcase in the ditch, I open it up, it’s full of cash, millions, I limp to a hospital, get fixed up, go home, keep the money and live rich forever
I told you
This is the best day of my life
When I woke up this mornin’ I fell outta bed
This is the best day of my life
When I got dressed I ripped o hole in my pants
This is the best day of my life
Ready for work, get in my car, outta gas
This is the best day of my life
Late for work, I take the bus, someone stole my wallet
This is the best day of my life
My boss tells me to go home, I’m fired
This is the best day of my life
When I get home my girlfriend calls to tell me she’s pregnant
This is the best day of my life
And the baby isn’t mine
This is the best day of my life
I dump her, she tells me to drop dead
This is the best day of my life
At night I go out dancing, I break my leg
This is the best day of my life
Ambulance comes, the driver is drunk
This is the best day of my life
It hits a truck, and goes up in flames
This is the best day of my life
I jump from the fire and fall in a ditch
This is the best day of my life
There is a suitcase in the ditch, I open it up, it’s full of cash, millions, I limp to a hospital, get fixed up, go home, keep the money and live rich forever
I told you
This is the best day of my life

G@MRZ!!! Yay!!!
We made a series of shorts last year and this year about a group of role playing game freaks called "G@mrz"...
And before we post them all online and put out the eventual DVD we're premiering it at Paris In Plantsville on 9/29!
This series is special to me. It's the first time in Elmwood history I sat on the sidelines...
I didn't wirte it or direct it, or produce it... Hell, I was only an additional puppeteer! Not ven a lead. It was a nice break too...
All I did was make the puppets.
So who did all the hard work?
Jim Williams, that's who.
And he should be proud. He made some funny shit.
And since we're celebrating Elmwood's Tenth still, it's the perfect time to release this on you...
I hope you come to see it September 29!
More info HERE!
and here's the trailer - Enjoy!

Old Lyrics - Circus Lights
CIRCUS LIGHTS
Now here I am, a clown once again,
In the three ring circus of life.
On the stage, alive, flying solo.
With a tear in my eye.
You raped my soul
And left me in Beachland Park.
Under a tree by a pond.
I sat there four hours, piecing it together,
And taking it back apart.
I’m in the park, juggling hearts,
Under the circus lights.
Brothers forever, no matter.
What went wrong?
Still you abandoned me as I begged to be free.
A prince once said;
“some things are better left unsaid, and some people are better left untrusted”,
I should’ve known that would pertain to all of you.
Now it’s raining on my parade.
And all my friends are on cocaine.
I’ve been tripping (on the telephone cord)
Day and night, day and night,
I’m in the park, juggling hearts
Under the circus lights.
Fate has its way with every man.
Even the clowns to be.
I’ve seen the big top come down
On my best friend too soon.
The three rings became two.
One is still empty,
In the other is me.
Now its raining on my parade.
All my friends are on cocaine.
I’ve been tripping (on the telephone cord)
Day and night, day and night,
I’m in the park juggling hearts
Under the circus lights.
Have you ever really seen a clown cry?
Have you ever really looked into my eyes?
Now here I am, a clown once again,
In the three ring circus of life.
On the stage, alive, flying solo.
With a tear in my eye.
You raped my soul
And left me in Beachland Park.
Under a tree by a pond.
I sat there four hours, piecing it together,
And taking it back apart.
I’m in the park, juggling hearts,
Under the circus lights.
Brothers forever, no matter.
What went wrong?
Still you abandoned me as I begged to be free.
A prince once said;
“some things are better left unsaid, and some people are better left untrusted”,
I should’ve known that would pertain to all of you.
Now it’s raining on my parade.
And all my friends are on cocaine.
I’ve been tripping (on the telephone cord)
Day and night, day and night,
I’m in the park, juggling hearts
Under the circus lights.
Fate has its way with every man.
Even the clowns to be.
I’ve seen the big top come down
On my best friend too soon.
The three rings became two.
One is still empty,
In the other is me.
Now its raining on my parade.
All my friends are on cocaine.
I’ve been tripping (on the telephone cord)
Day and night, day and night,
I’m in the park juggling hearts
Under the circus lights.
Have you ever really seen a clown cry?
Have you ever really looked into my eyes?

ALF!
Yesterday I posted about a new Sesame Street movie, and mentioned how all the puppet films coming from studios were Henson related, and how it would be great to see more out of that world...
Well out of that world we may get - ALF's got a movie coming too!
I hope!
The New Haven Register had this article a couple months ago, and I missed it too:
Let's hope this is a great beginning! I love ALF!

Sesame Street 3!
I was on Puppeteers of America's website this morning and saw in the news that there is a new Sesame Street movie in the works. I was announced in June, and some how I missed that! SO did PoA, so I don't feel so bad. Let's hope this puppetry on film trend keeps rolling... "The Muppets", "Being Elmo", and word on a new Sesame Street flick, Fraggle Rock, and Muppets 2 all happening in the next year or so is great!
Hopefully the studios and powers that be will branch away from the fantastic creations of The Muppetland and try out some new things too!
And I vote for a Bert and Ernie themed movie!

25 Years ago
25 Years ago I was twelve. I was listening to alot of pop music and oldies... Then I heard "Welcome To The Jungle" on WCCC right after a Queen song. It terrified me and I loved it... Guns N' Roses release Appetite For Destruction summer 1987, and my life changed forever. By fall 1988 I was obsessed with them (ask anyone who knew me from 1988-1992) and to this day still love what Axl and his freakshow continue to do.

Calm...
Thanks Mike for the awesome graphic!
And yes, like the rest of the world I saw Batman. I liked it.
So up next... I'll be still cranking out puppets, and look for many to be posted here as I go and the Monday Song kicks back in this coming Monday. Elmwood is prepping up DVD's of Steve the Vampire, Josh and Todd, and more, so that's been a ton of fun, I'm also gonna start trying to do some sort of update here daily. Just cuz I want to!
