0. Introduction to "He Perfect... ...He the Way: Odebook of Simpson" (1:14)
key: atonal
recorded: december 2023
fun fact: the drone in the background is a noise track i made in 2021, which samples pulk/pull revolving doors.
to those of you who once knew me, forget who you knew.
that benjamin is dead.
though i keep my given name, i have been newly christened as Benjamin Simpsonite, Son of Homer.
two days ago, i suffered a controlled near-death experience by listening to a cassette tape distributed by the Homer Simpson Benifit Club.
i was inches from the grasp of the dark nothing from which no living being can return, but i was saved.
'twas he, Homer our LORD.
eater of donuts and wringer of his firstborn.
he showed me the true light, and saved my soul.
i pledge my existence and undying gratitude to the nuclear man, and to prove my worth, i have taken it upon myself to record a separate tribute, similar in lyrical content to the cassette tape that changed everything.
this is: "He Perfect... ...He the Way: Odebook of Simpson".

key: g major
recorded: 1-08-2024
fun fact: here's the original. also, i created the word "homeropexy" by adding the "-(o)pexy" suffix to homer.
when i'm not watching the simpsons

not sure how it got that way but that's how it all comes out
runnin' my lips, quoting lines, homerin' up my speech
someone said if i keep watching the simpsons they're gonna go call chief wiggum
not sure how it got this way, homer used to not affect what i say
went to doctor hibbert and i had a few screws loose
drink some duff beer, fix you up real soon

i had a dream last night

"SIMPSONITE! YOUR WORK IS DONE!
GRAB MY HAND, AND I'LL TAKE YOU AWAY!
YOU MAY LIVE AMONGST MYSELF AND FAMILY IN SPRINGFIELD!"
OH MY GOD! i mean OH MY HOMER!
obviously i obliged, but then i woke up.
i was very upset at first, but to know that this is in store for me later gets me so excited!
i can't wait! i can't wait to die!
i'm so excited to meet everybody in springfield.
i can meet homer,
i can meet marge, and maggie, and bart and lisa,
i can see santa's little helper and snowball,
i can talk to grandpa abe, i can get arrested by chief wiggum,
i can go to moe's tavern, think of the possibilities! just think.
to be...
with lenny and carl, in the power plant.
your own boss being mr. burns!
having the chance to brush shoulders with waylon smithers!
oh, man!
OH, MOMMA!
krusty the clown on tv!
comic book guy selling me action figures!
if only... i could share this ethereal experience with someone... (the simpsons)
oh wait. I CAN.
IF YOU JOIN MY CHURCH OF SIMPSONITES, you too!
may experience! springfield! as seen on THE best show, no contest
in real life.
let that sink in! think about that, okay?

getting bullied by nelson and being represented by lionel hutz!

i'll cry for you 'cause you're gonna be missing out!
i want you to be there!
when i go to springfield 'cause you're my friend! i think of you as my friend and i want you to be there, 'cause it's gonna rock. (ow!)
look at me dead in the fucking eyes and tell me you don't want to shake ned flanders' hand.

OF SIMPSONITES!
don't stay awake for too long
don't go to bed
i'll make a cup of coffee for your head
i'll get you up and goin' out of bed
i dunno, that was just somethin' i was workin' on.
like a homer... simpson... song about coffee?
...i dunno if that's really his thing, but he does like, uh... he likes donuts...
donuts and coffee... they usually... go together. i think.
just workshoppin'. spitballin' in front of you.
i just like a second set of eyes on whatever i'm doin', like... (raisins come from grapes, people come from apes, i come from canada!)
...somebody's tellin' me "hey, that sucks" or "hey, that's great, keep goin' with that", y'know--

just me, normal ben, not simpsonite or anything.
it really sucks, but... i am announcing that this album is done.
i dunno how long i wanted to make it originally, i probably just wanted to keep on making it forever or something but...
yeah. it's done.
i recently found out that, um... homer simpson is not real.
i mean... finding this out, it... broke my heart. uh...
i really spent so much time working on this album... just to show him how much i love him, but he's not real.
i don't know what the fuck i thought...
yeah... i...
i feel as though i've let you all down by discontinuing work on this album, but you know what?
it was still a lot of fun to make. even... if i... no longer revere the yellow man... who has betrayed me...
i'm just...
just... thank you for listening. regardless of... all that has happened in this past few minutes.
heh.
um... yeah, goodbye.
the end.
