Ya got new music on a shiny compact disc Somewhere inside, the layers, lasers blip Take proper care of it, or run the risk The songs adopt a nasty skip Stack your collection up, a spindle comes in handy Or let the jewel cases be A See Dee: Some five-inch, this one only three A See Dee In Ancient Rome, they had this knack for spelling numbers out D meant five hundred, C meant one M’s a thousand that’s the highest digit used to count Seven letters and they’re done When there’s a smaller letter just before a larger one Subtract that smaller; 4’s Eye Vee A See Dee: It’s a tiny little disc, and a great big number, too See Dee Why was A afraid of B? Cuz B could See Dee See Dee: Some five-inch, this one's only three A See Dee: It's a tiny little disc, and a great big number, too See Dee A See Dee

I woke up on a Saturday, and my vision was double I knew before I hit the snooze, there was gonna be trouble Made it to the hospital, and they put me back in bed Finally the doctor came in, and this is what he said He said "son you got some damage in the nerves behind your left eye We'll have to run just a couple of tests to figure out why" They did an MRI, an MRA, an ultrasound and continued on To do a PET scan, a CAT scan, a spinal tap, and still they weren't done Colonoscopy, laparoscopy, fluoroscopy, didn't stop there Hooked up an EKG, an EEG, an ENG, even X-rayed my hair Into my heart 'n' brain 'n' head 'n' chest 'n' eyes 'n' face injected and pumped But the doctors still don't know what's goin' on the C-Guy has 'em stu ...u-ump....'t!

I’ll have a holiday, the color, of the interior of a Dodge Caravan I’ll greet the season, with the color, of everyone’s most infrequently-used crayon It’s the color of a shirt, worn by Indiana Jones And under that gravy it’s the color of your biscuits I think I’m gonna have a beige, beige Christmas I’ll have a Hanukkah, the color, of a dromedary camel I’ll have a Kwanzaa, that’s the color, of my faded tooth enamel It’s the color of a phone in a small-town sheriff’s office And the walls at the twenty-four-hour fitness It’s working out to be a beige, beige Christmas [Whistling Solo] You’ll call it ecru, call it unbleached silk, desert sand or call it khaki, Call it Tuscan, buff, oatmeal or fawn, or cream, or cosmic latte, Like the hundred-dollar bill, of your Monopoly money Or the health-department’s pH-test-failing litmus, It’s looking sure to be a beige, beige Christmas It’s the color of your soul, when you’ve given up all hope When maybe once upon a time you were ambitious I guarantee I’ll have a beige, beige Christmas I guarantee I’ll have a beige, beige Christmas

I've often thought this time of life was a special one, somehow; I'm four-and-a-half in decades-old, with wisdom so endowed; To Horace and Livy, I have been privy; through Ovid, I did plow; For recently I was XLIV, but I'm XLV now I used to read works by Mann and Goethe, Schopenhauer and Nietzsche; But now I've found my calling, and it's Veni, Vidi, Vici! Suetonius in my toga, Virgil back at my domus abode; Its atrium and vestibulum on the Appian Way road; Take orders from Julius Caesar, not from Hammurabi's Code, and If I were an ancient Roman, I'd be XLV years old, yes! If I were an ancient Roman, I'd be XLV years old, hey!

If you discover that you've gotten howdy-whistled in Beloit, Wisconsin Find a friend like Grace, hit a fish fry and that *COUGH*y Haus place And you might let out a minute-long high-decibel belch in the middle of a chat, But at least you'll know, you're on Missouri's Hat...

One morning in May, early June at the latest, ya wake up a-covered in sweat; Pajamas stuck to yer body, 'cuz the fan a-blowin' at ya ain't enough to keep from gettin' ya wet! So you open more windows, ya turn on more fans, and you attempt to keep cool in the heat; But the summer is here, and there's no use denyin', that the spring is complete, obsolete! Turn on that air conditioning, just succumb to the summer's whim; For just a coupla months now yer electric bill's gonna be grim! And ya know what they say about that Midwestern summer (Oh, you don't? Well they say:) Summer good, summer great! Summer hot dogs on my plate! Summer slow, summer fast! Summer never meant to last! Summer hot, summer cold! Summer never, ever, ever growing old! I was talkin' to my man Michael just the other day; No not the "time-to-cook" Michael, but a different Michael, one who lives in Georgia State! He called me to inform me of summertime priority number one; "It's as simple as this, Googz, you already know it--just be sure you're having fun!" I told him "Michael, you're wise, when it comes to the summer, there's a reason you know best; Well maybe not just one reason, heck the reasons are endless, but for starters you're from the Midwest! 'Cuz ya know what they say about that Midwestern summer (Oh, you don't? Well they say:) Summer good, summer great! Summer hot dogs on my plate! Summer slow, summer fast! Summer never meant to last! Summer hot, summer cold! Summer never, ever, ever growing old! And I'm well on my way, to bein' right back where my summer started; And that's okay, because I live to see waters uncharted, and Summer my way, isn't always for the faintly-hearted, and Before you can say, "August is over," summer has departed But for now...yes for now... Summer good Summer great Summer hot dogs on my paper plate Summer short Summer long Midwest summer in a song Summer stormy Summer fair Look inside your heart and summertime is (inside your heart and summertime is) (inside your heart and summertime is) (inside your heart and summertime is) (inside your heart and summertime is) (inside your heart and summertime is) (inside your heart and summertime is) (inside your heart and summertime is...) Summer good Summer great Summer hot dogs on my paper plate Summer short Summer long Midwest summer in a stupid song Summer stormy Summer fair Look inside your heart and summertime is there

about

"CD" is the Roman numeral for 400, and this particular CD (compact disc) was released to coincide with the CDth (400th) Googolplexia concert on Friday, 07 October MMXXII. It features "B-sides," rarities, tracks from non-Pancake-Production compilations that are out of (or never were in-) print, live tracks, unreleased material, and of course, plenty of Theme Songs, in reverse chronological order, beginning with the only truly brand-new song created just for its release, "See Dee."

That said, there's also a bunch here that few or none among the Googolplexia-listening public has ever heard: The theme song for the Hammerstone's Wing Wham, a live-on-the-radio version of the Noise Show theme song I wrote while on tour (and playing several noise shows) with Satan's God in MMXIX, a demo of a song I wrote for Carondelet Guy to perform and based on his own experiences, and the theme song to MasterDaters, the live dating show I co-hosted in 2014 and 2015.

The physical CD, with a label reflecting the artwork pictured here, comes without any insert or liner notes, in a plastic clamshell case.

BandCamp did not want to let me call this release "The Big CD Little CD" because they claim that having "CD" in the title of a release makes people think they're getting a physical copy, even if they're specifically just downloading it. Please don't make this mistake. If you purchase the $5 download, you get the download. The actual physical compact disc will cost $10, will include a bumper sticker, cigarette lighter, and download code for PP 025, and will be available here as a Merch item if any remain after the release concert. Thank You!
