Song Parody Recordings:
Peter and I have been doing a few Garbage parodies (the band, not content, hehe) recently. I decided to poke fun at myself for doing the same Garbage songs he has. This also pokes fun at using the copy/paste tool too much when writing parodies. (featuring Below Average Dave Vocals)
