“9,000″”

One of the infamous Posting Songs.

Story behind the Song

This song was a significant improvement in my song-making skills, and it is reminiscent of the song “5,000,” my second-ever posting song. It is a song I still listen to today.

I love the speed of the lyrics of this song. I penned them at work after already having drafted the music. Playing the music at work, I found different “-ation” words that fit together into great passages. Most of the lyrics have to do with my personal theories on improv, which at the time were significantly influenced by game theory and derivative ideas. The song references “Neutrino Nation”; Neutrino was a cutting-edge improv team at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theatre that had recently been dissolved by the theater for what sounded like controversial reasons. Essentially, I elevate their status with this song.

If I could do this song over, I would change the breakdown part of the song, which has always mildly annoyed me. I love the part when the lyrics happen again with a vocal modulation, but just before that when there are no lyrics, I needed a little more music else I needed to do something more interesting at that point. The song gets a little bit boring at that point to my ear. But despite that, it’s a song I still love, and its beginning is quite incredible!

Lyrics

“9,000″

caught a contagion for
improv equation
the newest sensation:
“cooperation”

hardsell persuasion
on this occasion
9k fixation
(indoctrination)

chaotic information
and humanation
the characterization
of ideation

the next invasion
of improvisation
is coordination
else annihilation

gimme attention, i want your suggestion
a need for connection, long-form perfection

i hit reply and then i die, and
if i die i still reply, and

i make a thread and then i’m dead, and
when i’m dead i’ll make a thread, and

ostentation
breeds irritation
yet in deviation
lies conjugation

cleave narration
for motivation
pursue for duration
then game rotation

the true ovation
is “cooperation”
refuse editation
on cachinnation

inspiration
yields termination:
where in tarnation’s
neutrino nation?

gimme attention, i want your suggestion
a need for connection, long-form perfection

i hit reply and then i die
and if i die i still reply, and

i make a thread and then i’m dead
and when i’m dead i’ll make a thread, and
