March of the Skaletons (c) 2006 by Kirk Madison and Lewis D'Aubin The skaletons march in The evil one approaches Everyone has sinned The evil one is laughing He sees them all and they cover their eyes He starts to laugh and they gape in surprise (pick it up, pick it up!) He mows them down with a beam from his mind And peels their skins like a fruit from the rind The dead ones march around Their ranks are closing in They march without a sound The rank, decaying grin He makes them do unthinkable things They are the pawns and he's their evil king (pick it up, pick it up!) He steals a car and commands them to drive He pulls the strings and they dance as if alive "Have you the courage to dance before the Evil One? Skeletons... Skank! The skeletons march out You're left here on your own The battle was a rout You're now a pile of bones - go home! Look at your leg, there's a femur instead Look at your arm, then you grope for your head (pick it up, pick it up!) There's just a skull where your face used to be You yell at them, hey wait up for me!

Since 2004 or so, we've been serving up our old favorite "March of the Skeletons" in a much more uptempo SKA variant, which eventually was recorded for the '10th Anniversary Compilation' released in 2006. Drums were recorded by Lewis, bass was recorded by Jim on his Purple Heart bass through the J-Station, via optical SPDIF. Guitar was recorded by Ed on his Stratocaster through the Line6 POD XT. Pretty straightforward! After the guitar session, Ed broke out his trumpet and blew us all away, coming up with some strong lines and harmony parts.
