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 "You're Welcome" from Disney's "Moana" about everything I do to make the MarsCon Comedy Music Track happen each year at MarsCon in the Twin Cities, MN.
lyrics
A ha ha, Ok, Ok, I see what's happening here.
You're face to face with weirdness and it's strange.
Your faces reveal how you feel: "He's deplorable!"
Well it's nice to see that fanboys never change.
Open your ears, take a pause.
Yes, it's really me, Luke Ski. Hold applause.
I know I'm a lot. You're quite annoyed,
When you're staring at this dementoid!
What can I say except "You're welcome!"
For the comedy music we bring!
Hey it's Ok, it's Ok, "You're welcome!"
The track that's full of funny songs we sing!
Hey, who had nerd songs back in 2003,
performed in the room for karaoke? Uh, me!
When the winter's cold, who calls the acts from Demento?
You're looking at him, yo!
Oh! Also I sell last year's tunes, - "You're welcome!"
To raise the funds to pay for rooms!
I book the Music Guest Of Honor gigs, - "You're welcome!"
So Judy Tenuta can say "Suffer, pigs!"
So what can I say except "You're welcome!"
For the concerts I plan for you folks!
Buy CDs today, it's Ok! "You're welcome!" Ha!
I just can't get 'enough comedy jokes'!
"You're welcome!", "You're welcome!"
Well, come to think of it...
Kids, honestly, yeah I'm an egotist,
But I have so many folks on my 'thank you' list.
The bass that shakes the ground?
That'd be Jon Allen who's running the sound!
Ellen and John, and Doornail and Mike!
They'll take your cash and give you stuff you like!
J.P. Tuesday, he brings the roster in!
Kornflake does exercise splashing her lobster fin!
And the con staff support is sublime!
And there's Abby who keeps me on time!
Byron and Chris, they are totally bitchin'!
Look at them in the back D.J.in', streaming, and Twitchin',
and Twitchin', and Twitchin', and Twitchin', and Twitchin',
ha, ha! Hey!
Well anyway, let me say "You're welcome!"
For this festival found in the snow!
Hey it's Ok, it's Ok, "You're welcome!"
In 30 seconds here, we gotta go!
Locals say "Eh? Ya hey!" "You're welcome!"
And if I'm unprepared, I'll fudge it!
So pre-reg today, then say, "You're welcome!"
'Cause this track has got everything but a budget!
Hey MarsCon! "You're welcome!"
...and thank you!
