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.

"I don't wanna grow up,..." so I never did. In fact a lot of Gen-Xers, Millenials, and Zoomers decided that the notion of 'putting aside childish things' at a certain age is a load of Gak. So we kept playing our video games, watching animated movies and TV shows, and of course, using our grown-up disposable income to buy all the toys we ever wanted, take them out of their boxes, and play with them, dangit! This parody of the Lizzo banger "Boys" goes out to all the kids of every age everywhere with all their toys, still playing. Celebrate them. Don't be a play-er hater.
lyrics
Hey! I just took a DNA test! He he, yeah!
Turns out, I'm 100% Cabbage Patch!
A toy
came to claim joy.
You wanna play coy
with my GameBoy?
Jedi Knight toy.
Rainbow Brite toy.
Ghostbuster fright toy?
Go fly a kite toy!
Got a toy Green Beret,
a toy puppy stray,
a toy Bob and Jay.
He-man saves the day!
- Hey! -
I just came to play!
Got this toy speaking Spanish:
[Spanish Buzz:] Buzz Lightyear al rescate!
Hear my Furby speak to you… (*Furby noises*)
Hot Wheels have a street crew… (*revving car noises*)
Gobots that go 'beep - boooo'... (*R2D2 SFX*)
R-2 D-2!
[Optimus Prime:] Transform and roll out!
TOYS!
Tooooooys!

I like the Simpsons toys,
and I'll Play-D'OH!
Built a mansion
out of Lego!
Got an Autobot,
and Decepticon.
Got a MegaZord,
and a Voltron!
From the Smurf toys,
to the Nerf toys.
Universe toys!
I DESERVE TOYS!
My Spin Art is inky… And Pinky, Blinky, Clyde…
My Little Pony's Pinkie… They call her Pinkie Pie…
Barbie's dress is Slinky… Get it? *laugh*
