"Bubblegum Renegade" - Songwriting Process
Added 2023-10-14 00:53:13 +0000 UTCBehind-the-scenes explanation of how I wrote the song "Bubblegum Renegade". This song is a riff on a very niche subgenre of crappy 50s/60s ballads and the weird amount of musical theater that seems to accompany them.
Whenever I start writing a song I always use one specific melody or lyric I'm really attached to and build from there, but this time there were like five false starts because I accidentally kept ripping things off. This behind-the-scenes is basically roasting myself, haha.
SONG RIP-OFFS, IN ORDER:
- Little Witch Academia OP1
- Cup of Roasted Coffee from "The Guy Who Didn't Like Musicals"
- smooooch・∀・
- School House Rock "Interjections"
- The Leader of the Pack
- Johnny Don't Go from "Zombie Prom"
- Pizza Angel from "VeggieTales"

2023-10-26 07:44:44 +0000 UTCMan you keep introducing me to new forms of media that I never knew I would enjoy. I’ve never even thought about musical theaters but this really makes me wanna give them a shot!

2023-10-20 17:27:37 +0000 UTCSo real for using Pizza Angel from Veggietales as the first example when describing 'talking over a guitar riff' section, lol.

2023-10-18 03:13:43 +0000 UTC"Trapped in the jumble of the jungle gym" has been my favorite lyric every time I've listened to this since it released.

2023-10-16 18:06:37 +0000 UTCwell, since its not updated i suppose it's guessing time: - Little Witch Academia - Cup of Roasted Coffee - Smooch (you said this one) - idfk - and finally my favourite bad song that isn't from RE, Leader of the Pack
