The Efficacy of a Toaster Oven on Various Breadlike Foodstuffs

Liner Notes

#slackchat #slackconversation #slack #guywithukulele

TC: There was a brief discussion about the heating up of specialty bread in a toaster oven and I, being a good student of Carley and her bad song club, went with it. Also, I asked a question about the smile/denial rhyme and was told, more or less, it's fine to use it and, in fact, maybe I should use it the rest of Fawm! We'll see, I guess. A specialty thanks to @carleybaer and @charliecheney for the conversation and inspiration.

Lyrics

There's some specialty bread in the toaster Been a minute so it's getting closer But we're worried it's gonna be dry

I'm beginning to smell a slight odor That's what I get for being sober That's a fact that I cannot deny

We don't have a toaster, only a toaster oven That heats up specialty bread like witches in a coven Who cast a delicious spell

A toasted cupcake would be a disaster And not the result we are after Unless you have a frosting trap (A Venus frosting trap, perhaps?)

We don't have a toaster, only a toaster oven That heats up specialty bread like witches in a coven Who cast a delicious spell

And if it turns out right I will wear a smile But if it burns then I'll be A hungry man in denial

We don't have a toaster, only a toaster oven That heats up specialty bread like witches in a coven (And we like witches) Who cast a delicious spell

You have a uke! Awesome. I guess the specialty bread will be dry if it's in a toaster oven. And witches are awesome. We need them to survive now.

Very jaunty tune, and well done.

I listened to this while driving yesterday and forgot to comment! The title reads like an academic paper, the song is catchy as hell (I’ve already sung it to my toaster oven). And we like witches! This ticks all the boxes of slack silliness once again, bravo 🧁

Like witches in a coven. Love it. Specialty bread with eye of newt. Who doesn’t like that?

Lots of fun here. I love the spoken bit (“a venus frost trap, perhaps”), which really reminds me of Barenaled Ladies. And you’ve really made your uke sound like a banjo!

Wait, is that a banjo?
