Mouth Dreams!

MOUTH DREAMS IS OUT!!!!!! 

Neil Cicierega has produced another mashup album in the Mouth series, so it’s time for me to do a blind album listen. 

I’m just listening to the full album file on Neil’s website while I type so I can’t see track titles… so I’ll guess at them! A fun little mini game.

You can listen online or download the album on Neil’s site: http://www.neilcic.com/mouthdreams/

1. Yahoooooooo! Prelude

The first song is just the Yahoo! jingle with the “hooooo” increasingly long

And eventually going into a round!

I’m not sure what the orchestral backing is, probably from a movie

2. Intro to Mouth Dreams

Intro to The Twilight Zone but the words are all over the place lol

Hey! “Mouth Dreams” that’s the title of the album! Gee willickers!

3. We Will Sponge You

We Will Rock You by Queen… oh.

It’s the intro to Spongebob Squarepants

Alright hell yeah

This is so stupid but so well done dear lord

4. Folsom Prison Baby Blues

Oh no… that emo band… I forget them

HOOBASTANK that’s it. The Reason

I don’t actually know this other song.

Oh jk he shot a man in Reno just to watch him die.

I think that’s Johnny Cash? Idk the title of the song though.

JUSTIN BEIBER’S BABY

Alright we’re fucking around with “baby” lyrics?

“My momma was a train” lol

“When I was just a train”

“I shot a traaaaaain” yes yes yes

Okay, I looked up the Johnny Cash song to come up with a track title guess.

5. Can’t Touch This Psycho Killer OR Bed’s On Fire

Can’t Touch This! I think the song is called Superfreak though?

Hmmm what’s this other song…

Bed’s on fire

Psycho killer… bed’s on fire… looooool

Ok that song is maybe called Psycho Killer

I’m just waiting for fa-fa-fa-fa-faaaa-fafa-faaaa-fafa-faaaaa-FIRE

Hell yeah saxophone

Yeahyeahyeahyeahyeahyeah to the cadence of runrunrunrunrunnnnn

6. Harpsichord Interlude?

Harpsichord?

I can’t quite make out the lyrics cuz they’re slowed down…

Get Happy, alright

I’m not sure if this is the same song of the last thing was an interlude but it seems like the harpsichord thing persisted soooo maybe the same?

Well maybe this is the only lyric now

The word “happy” has no meaning to my ears any more

Hmm techno kinda beats in the back… reminds me of the back of a Black Eyed Peas song or something

7. Ribs OR Everybody Wants Chili’s Baby Back Ribs

Dreamy triplets

I want my baby back ribs?????

Oh shit what is that guitar riff…

Haaaaaaaaa Chiliiiiiii’s baby back riiiiibs

I don’t wantcha I don’t needcha… oh gosh

THE BEAUTIFUL PEOPLE

Hahaha the Lion King has snuck in here for “In The Jungle”

OH the guitar backing is Everybody Wants To Rule The World (or whatever the real song title is)

8. Dream Stew

Dream On by Aerosmith

This was in the trailer, yes

Brain Stew by Green Day

My mouth my mouth my mouth

“My face is… my face” is the perfect amount of clunky

9. Do Wanna Miss A Thing

Everclear? Everlong? 

I think it’s the Foo Fighters???

Lol the vibrato on this other song is wild

“I don’t miss you baby and I do wanna miss a thing” looool

Don’t Wanna Miss A Thing… idk the band off hand

10. Sleeping With My Clothes On

Lol just… staccato beats with the bass dropping whenever it wants

Blink 182?? Own Worst Enemy?

I see sleeping with clothes on and I raise you... wearing PJs all day (like me)

11. That’s Amore OR Drunk Italians

ITALIAN PIZZA PIE

Lol the lyrics are of course backwards

The wiggly accordion...

BELLS

We’re just tossing noun phrases around like a juggler

Fading out in nightmarish ways as we transition to the next song...

PiiIiIiiIIIzzA

12. Stacy’s Mom’s Pool

“stop.”

Uhhh is this Weezer?

Omg Stacy’s MOM

It think it’s Say It Ain’t So by Weezer

We’re gonna hear a lot about this pool

Hmm it’s not Say It Ain’t So…

It might be In My Mind

More dreamy transitions

13. Noogie OR Cookie

Omg what is this Amazonian flute

Ooooh funky

SHAQ??

The siiiize of these eeeyeeeees

Is this “How I Beat Shaq” ??

Nah, I think this is a song I don’t know

I did it all for the noogie!

Idk if the backing song is the same song as the front… I’m just not familiar with these ones

Surrender… my cookie!

I feel like the Home Improvement jingle is gonna slip in here

14. Never mind i think this is one long song

Han Solo?

This is maybe a different song

Some sort of Star Wars word soup with a CAKE-esque bass backing?

Is this a child’s chorus? Sesame Street?

I wonder who did the Star Wars song… 

Oh maybe this is one long song after all…

14. Crazy: Now On VHS

This sounds like a VHS jingle…

Oh lol there it is

Yep yep yep yep yep give me them ALL Neil!

Oh good the loooooong note

Ooh what just came in?

She Drives Me Crazy? Ooh Ooh?

Oh yeah, nailed it… but idk the band again

Lol there’s like 20 more minutes we’re only ⅔ through or so

Ooh I like whatever this four note repetition is

15. Now On VHS! Interlude

And now… our feature presentation…

The Outsiders??

Pony Boy?

We’re just… naming things?

I assume this is one of those old VHS pre-movie commercials where someone is talking about what a great deal this 3-pack of discs is or something

BUMBLEBEE TUNA

Tag urself.... I’m DEATH

I’m literally loling at DEATH

Kid Cuisineeeee

Lonesome guitar coming in…

And… LOL

Rick Astley and A CROWD OF BOOS

Lean in, Neil. Embrace the chaos.

Never Gonna Give You Up is a pretty good song actually

Oh the guitar might be Hurt by… whoever did that

16. Closer To Fireflies

Drop the Arctic Monkeys you coward

Fireflies and Suffocate Me instead

That’s not the title… Fuck you like an animal…

I’d like to------make myself believe (not------PENETRATE YOU) but I see where this came from

Closer To God, that’s right

This and the Spongebob one are my favs so far

17. Benny And The Best

Benny And The Jets…

Uhhh I’m not sure about the punk song

The Best? The Best? The Best? Arouuuund? Is this also the Foo Fighters? U2?

I’m not sure this is its own song

18. Factory With A Girl

UHHH this stressful video game music…

It’s like the factory song from cartoons, not a video game specifically

Fell In Love With A Girl

Oooh jk this my fav, it’s so jazzy

Oh god the manic energy of the “ahhhhhh” part

I think Jet is the band?

This makes me want to walk down the street in a zoot suit snapping every other beat

19. WAHNNABE

WHAT IS IT GOOOOOD FOR

Wait omg it’s WAH

WAH-NNABE

WAH Wario?

WAH… what is it good for loooool

20. Feel Good LLC

Sheep noises?

FEEL GOOD intro laugh

Oh this is unhinged

Omg that music in the back sounds like what going crazy is like, it’s like an evil carnival

The Gorillaz, always good

Lol the sheep noises at the end

21. Irony On Elm Street

Ironic by Alanis Morrisette… okay

He died the next day… then turned 98…

It’s an old man in your chardonnay

IT’S LIKE RAIN omg idk the backing but it’s ominous

I swear to god this backing is from like Nightmare on Elm Street or Halloween or something

Kissed his spoons goodbye

I think it’s whatever horror movie has Jason who I think is the one in the hockey mask?

It’s exactly like 10,000 spoons

22. idk

The winds of Skype

Uhhh some kind of 80s ballad is fading in

SMASH MOUTH YOU’RE HERE

All Star is warbled

WAKE UP

23. Britney’s Fifth

Beethoven’s Fifth?

IT’S BRITNEY, BITCH

Oh fuck yes this is one million percent my jam

24. Hall Of Weezer

HALL OF THE MOUNTAIN KING

Omg I love classical mashups

BANJO KAZOOIE SLEEPING NOISE OMG

Oh lol this is Weezer Say It Ain’t So

Oh gosh the tempo speed up is impressive for the Weezer song which is usually at a steady tempo! Dear god how long did this take to sync…

Modem load up noise… nice

And that’s the album! I might respond to myself and add a retrospective later once I find the track titles.
