A Question for "Ask an Attorney"
by @ttg105
Liner Notes
Lyrics
Dear Sir:
I recently hired a hit man to kill me, but I inadvertently killed him instead (it was self defense). Am I entitled to a refund of my deposit? After all, the service I was promised was never rendered, and now I need to hire another contractor.
Your Truly, A Dissatisfied Client

Dear ADC:
Since the contract you entered into was illegal, I think you are out of luck regarding a refund (despite the fact that you're going to need every cent to fund your legal defense, which is going to be made difficult for any defense attorney by your (in writing, I might add) confession), and even if you were entitled to a refund good luck collecting it from your (ex-)hitman's estate. That sucker's gonna be tied up in probate for a while. Also, to the extent there are other clients whose jobs your contractor failed to complete due to his untimely demise who are also seeking refunds, you would most likely be at the end of that line anyway. But keep your chin up! And don't waste any more money on a deposit for another hitman. I hear traffic in your city is murder.
Sincerely,
AAA
P.S.: This song is hilarious in addition to being surreal. And you have perfected the use of the melodica and vocal layering to create some creepy (even when also funny)) soundscapes. Great work.
Those are truely deep lyrics! Love how you take us down with this difficult question!
Great question and delivery. The melodica and voices are perfect. And the lowering question takes us down to ...
Ha! An interesting question - lol! The repeated overlay is super cool! Again but down an octave... again... again... Never saw it coming...
Killing joke ! The instruments capture the vertigo of absurd. This is the snarkyest melodica I've ever heard and the cosmic strings are head spinning. Made me remember "Bulworth", the Warren Beatty movie. Very similar pitch, completely different soundtrack.
