Call Social Services. The in-house art department has produced not one, but two drawings to accompany thew new song — Rule 34. Have no fear, they are definitely SFW. Of course explaining to the kids what the song was about was interesting. I’m sure it will come up in therapy down the road.

First up is a relatively traditional piece:

But this next piece is not only more abstract but has the dragon and car with their backs to each other. Playing hard to get? Bored in their relationship? Involved in some sort of role play? Who could say.

Here’s another song for the the legions of Sugar Fix fans (the FaceBook fan count is now up to 10 — take that Beatles). If you don’t know what “Rule 34″ is, just pull out your trusty Urban Dictionary and look it up. Go ahead, I’ll wait.

Got it? Good. Unfortunately, that’s not quite enough information to understand the song, as the song is about my favorite example of Rule 34, the illicit love between dragons and cars. I’m not sure that I need to point out that though I find it endlessly entertaining, it’s not a personally exciting scenario (not that there’s anything wrong with that — well, maybe there is). While the song is quite SFW there are some drawings of the non-SFW variety that will explain this phenomenon in more, ahem, detail. I really encourage you not to look at the drawings as you will never know blissful ignorance again — there’s no going back after looking. But if you must, here’s the link.

(On a side note, I do wonder how dragons “loving” cars can truly be considered NSFW given that dragons don’t exist, and even if they did I doubt they’d be attracted to cars. But that’s an entirely separate topic I suppose.)

At the very least, I think I can safely say that this is the first, only, and almost certainly last song you’ll ever hear on this topic.

Rule 34 [LYRICS]

Lyrics for Rule 34.

VERSE

There’s a dragon all alone with nothing but time
No matter how hard he tries, the concept enters his mind
Way deep down he knows, that he can never go back
He’s in love with a late model Pontiac

CHORUS

It’s a different kind of love between man and machine
Well he’s not quite a man, but you know what I mean
And if there’s a place to go
Where these lovers can just be
And love whatever they can love
Please don’t forget me

VERSE

Don’t be judgy and rude just cause it’s not your thing
I see true dragon-auto love, and it makes me sing
If you knew a dragon in this condition, he’d be
Out cruising bars for a sexy transmission

CHORUS

It’s a different kind of love between man and machine
Well he’s not quite a man, but you know what I mean
And if there’s a place to go
Where these lovers can just be
And love whatever they can love
Please don’t forget me

VERSE

Even in the best case, not every love’s a sure bet
Especially when, he sees that gorgeous corvette
Just like you and me a dragon follows his heart
Always looking for love and that special jump start

CHORUS

It’s a different kind of love between man and machine
Well he’s not quite a man, i think you know what I mean
And if there’s a place to go
Where these lovers can just be
And love whatever they can love
Please don’t forget me

And if there’s a place to go
Where these lovers can be free
And do whatever they call love
Please don’t forget me

Who says we don’t have fan generated content to post? Just because the fans happen to be in house artists — literally, four and six year olds in my house — doesn’t make it any less a show of support. Here’s the new song art for the first track — Let’s Sneak Off. Enjoy.

I love most of the HBO shows. Curb Your Enthusiasm especially. But we also watch Big Love the show about the non-Mormon modern day polygamists living in Utah. It’s so stressful. This song explores the practical considerations when polygamy gets out of control. Two wives? Why stop there? Why not multiple husbands? etc. It starts out with multiple spouses being a convenience, but things get confusing after awhile. You get the idea.

I played and sang most things on this track except for the acoustic guitar which was excellently provided by Chris. Thank you Chris! Also, this was my first end-to-end song done with the new Mac gear. Things will go more smoothly down the road (I hope).

Let’s Sneak Off [LYRICS]

Lyrics for Let’s Sneak Off.

VERSE

I had an idea, and I told you on the spot
I was half joking, you were half not
Things are so busy in our complicated lives
I thought it might help if we had some additional wives

Ingrid moved in and things had gotten better
She loved to watch the kids
I didn’t think she wanted ones of her own, but
Surprise, surprise, she did

CHORUS

Let’s sneak off my wife #1
Leave everyone else at home
Even though our lives have gotten better
I really want some time alone

VERSE

With all the new kids it was like managing a herd
It seemed to make sense, so we got ourselves a third
But with so many people the house fell into disrepair
Your new suggestion, a second husband would only be fair

Lars moved in and it felt kind of funny
You also had another spouse
I warmed up when I saw how handy
Lars was around the house

CHORUS

Let’s sneak off my wife #1
Leave everyone else at home
Even though our lives have gotten better
I really want some time alone

VERSE

It seemed so simple, now it’s gotten quite complex
The line for the bathroom, stretches up and down the steps
I’m having trouble remembering all the new kids’ names
I may be mistaken, aren’t there three boys all named Shane

Somewhere between wife 27
And husband number 39
It took me a week to finally track you down
And remind you that you’re still mine

CHORUS

Let’s sneak off my wife #1
Leave everyone else at home
Even though our lives have gotten better
I really want some time alone

Hi. Welcome to the Sugar Fix blog.

I often believe (or maybe hope) that technology will solve all the world’s problems. Peace in the middle east? A big middle east peace robot will solve it. Global warming? They’re inventing global cooling technology as we speak. Those may be a ways out, but technology has finally gotten to the point where I’m capable of producing songs that sound relatively close to what’s in my head. Thank you Logic for letting me turn my banging on the piano into something semi-reasonable. Clearly technology has decided to tackle the most difficult problems first.

Given this new advance, it’s time to start sharing those songs. On this blog, I’ll publish music periodically. I don’t know how often, but I’ll try to keep it to at least one new song a month. We’ll see how it goes. Your comments are welcome as always. That is, if anyone shows up.
