The 12th full length comedy music album by 'the great Luke Ski' features his Logan Award winning parody about struggling to lose weight, "Candybars". He also pays tribute to "The Mandalorian", the women of "Star Wars", "The Twilight Zone", "Supergirl", "The Flash", "Adventure Time", and greatest animated series in the history of Cartoon Network, "Mighty Magiswords" (on which Luke was a storyboard artist, writer, voice actor, and songwriter for 3 years).
As the title implies, many of the tracks on this album are very specifically about what has been going on in Luke's life during the 8-and-a-half years that have passed since his last album. The best of times (living the animation life, and making songs for the FuMP dot com and running the MarsCon Comedy Music Track) and the worst of times (trying to make a living in the gig economy, navigating being single again in the 2020s, and the skin-melting heat of southern California).
And as a continuation from his previous album "4th Grade Talent Show" there are 7 new "Dumb Parody Ideas" tracks for you to enjoy / be reviled by. In any case, as Paul Sabourin put it during the "Paul & Storm" concert at FuMPFeST 2016, it's all "Needlessly Meta".
Includes unlimited streaming of Needlessly Meta
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

A parody of the song "Ice Ice Baby" by Vanilla Ice about the Cartoon Network series "Adventure Time"
I've been wanting to do a comedy song tribute to the Cartoon Network series "Adventure Time" for about 4 years now. Almost immediately upon deciding to do this, a parody idea popped into my head, but I put it aside because I wanted to see if I could come up with a better and also original song idea to do instead. In all that time, I couldn't come up with one that I thought was worthy, which was at least partially because the songs that occasionally pop up in actual episodes of "Adventure Time" are all so well done, and so perfectly encapsulate all the emotions of these complex characters in this very layered story whose deep mythos grows faster than fanfiction.
Cut to a few months ago, I knew I wanted to have a new comedy song to world premiere at my live concert performances at Gen Con Indy 2015, so I took a look at my long list of various song ideas, and there was this old, silly, super-obvious, dumb parody idea waving right back at me, like the Banana Man floating in space. Well I didn't need the Cosmic Owl to tell me that it was time for me to put my reservations aside, sit down and rewatch all 199 episodes of "Adventure Time" again and take extensive notes (oh yes I lumpin' did), and then sit down to 'Penn' this little tune. So without further boom-boom, here is my tribute to the most tragic fictional character in modern literature: the awesome, ridiculously hilarious, and totally insane wizard known as the Ice King, set to the most popular song ever released by one Mr. Robert Matthew Van Winkle. I hope all you hardcore "Adventure Time" fans think the track is mathematical, and that it doesn't really smell like dog buns.
lyrics
Yo, Finn & Jake. Let’s kick it.
Finn & Jake:
Ice King, baby!
Ice King, baby!
All right stop. - Refrigerate and listen.
Ice King’s back on my usual mission
Still young - in my late thousand-eighties,
Fly through the kingdom, scooping up ladies.
[Finn & Jake: Will you ever stop?] Sure, when I’m wed
to a princess! (heh heh) Or, I’m dead.
Don’t count on that, ‘cuz when you battle this wizard,
I’ll wave my hands, and then kablam, there’s a blizzard!
Dance! - At my party for penguins,
all busting moves, they’re my finely-dressed minions.
Studly! - I work out so that I can be
in the best shape for my future bride-to-be.
Tell me ‘let it go’, and I’ll laugh and say
that the cold never bothered me anyway.
If you are a princess, I’ll kidnap you,
then pass the mic, so that you can rap too!
Finn & Jake:
Ice King, baby! - We chill with
Ice King, baby! - Get ill with
Now that I’ve shown I’m a fresh stud,
Introduce Finn and Jake, they’re my total best buds!
Finn’s on the point doing beat-box, and Jake’s [Finn: *beat-boxing*]
in the kitchen [Jake: MAKIN’ BACON PANCAKES!] [Finn: *beat-boxing*]
Yummy yum! - Just a dash of cumin!
Rumor says Finn’s the world’s last human.
Has an ear-hat, - and a sword collection.
And Jake the Dog? Just watch him go stretchin’
Shapeshift! - You’ll see Jake prevail
at mountain size, or as small as a snail.
Sometimes we disagree, every day or three,
[Finn & Jake: Do we fight?] Yes, and you beat me
usually. - I ain’t afraid of fighting.
My beard will fly, then I’ll throw some ice lightning.
But Finn’s a hero - I’m who he’s pityin’
He’s got a - [Finn & Jake: ENCHIRIDION!]
They got glory, treasure, gold coins.
All I get is a kick in the boing-loings.
Jealous! - ‘Cuz while I’m just a bum,
Finn and Jake hang with Princess Bubblegum.
Candy - is your royal host.
The citizens are sweet ‘cuz they’re made of dextrose.
Gumballs - keep watch on the town,
but they’re no match for my magic crown!
Frozen! - Nab P.B. in her jam-jams.
Finn shows up, - punches me in the hams.
“Homies help homies, always” they say.
But they just foil my plans, then I sneak away.
No one comprehends when I make amends.
They leave me out, so I’ll make up my own friends.
I’ll write a fanfic and gender-swap it.
Slap it on a shirt to sell at Hot Topic!
Take heed - ‘cuz here comes Marceline.
The Land Of Ooo’s own Vampire Queen.
Sweet axe! - Just beware of her grapples.
She’ll eat the red off of Tree Trunk’s apples.
And Lemongrab always acts ill.
[Lemongrab: This is UNACCEPTABLEEEEE!!!]
Lumpy Space Princess said [LSP: I wanna date you!]
I said ‘no thanks’, - and then she told me to
[LSP: Lump off!] - Flame Princess was fun.
Conquered her father with Cinnamon Bun.
So hot, - other heroes say “Glob!”
If snowbeast touched her, it would melt into a blob.
BMO’s rockin on the two turntables,
Magic Man tells Lady Rainicorn some Graybles.
You might think this track sounds all archaic,
We think the tune is quite [Ice King & Finn: ALGEBRAIC!]
Jake: Ice King, baby!
Finn & Jake: - We chill with
Ice King, baby! - Get ill with
Finn: (whispering) Simon!
Yo buds, let’s get out of here. Word to your Gunthar.
Finn & Jake:
Ice King, baby!
Finn: Too cold!
Jake: Like, literally too cold.
Finn: Totes, and the beginning of the second verse was total bunk, man.
Ice King: Hey! Keep your comments off my biz!
Jake: Oh, all right.
Finn: Eh, math this.
