D.A.W.G.

Completed in August 1998, D.A.W.G. is Compact Disc full of comedy and music.

Freddie "The Might" Finkle may be the true hero of this project. With his perseverance he saved Troy Scott from the hands of a ruthless gang of terrorists. The returning Reldni President Troy was then able to finish this album.

Thanks Freddie!

Lyrics

Lozo Gets Lucky (Track 5)

I walked along one sunny day

My dog J. Smith was with me

I moved toward the market

Missing a show on the TV

Diddeley Diddeley Diddeley Dee

A thief came and stole my dog J.

I ran but I soon lost my breath

I must find my dog someway

Additional Lozo Gets Lucky lyrics that do not appear on the album:

And it feels like I’m losing my mind

I can’t leave this Lozo behind

He creeps in my sleep

And touches her deep

I know

He has to go!

I got my dog the other day

He was glad to see me

I let him eat a cupcake

As he sat on my knee

The working title for the entire D.A.W.G. album was "Lozo Gets Lucky".

Bringing It Back (Track 10)

I’m looking far away

On a distant plain

And I’m gonna bring it back again

I’ve had enough of this country air

Somehow I just get bored

And now I’m heading back to my hometown

Where I’m not ignored

Chorus:

I’m bringing it back

Oh bringing it back

Where I feel sunny all the time

I went to the place where dreams are built on

And I had some fun

With my old friends I went to a place

Where I lived life on

Seems the sun never ends

Repeat Chorus

I went around a maze but I got out

And when I did, I had to shout

Oh my darling, I beg your pardon

But I’m so glad I’m back

Oh I’m so glad I’m back

Repeat Chorus

Clean Team Blues (Track 15)

I’m being treated like a slave

I work for nothing but minimum wage

When Captain Clean gets in a rage

He should be locked up in a cage

The dust is flying in the air

But Captain Clean doesn’t really care

He makes me cut my long hair

I even have to wash his underwear

Captain Clean acts like a dip

He thinks his moves are really hip

When he sadistically cracks the whip

I wish I could I abandon ship

Telling you I can barely cope

He keeps grinning like a dope

I’m too scared to drop the soap

I wish he was hanging from a rope

Captain Clean thinks he’s superior

Driving a car with a red interior

He tells me to wash his car

While he goes to the nudie bar

Captain Clean beat up Sorok

After hearing a dirty joke

"That's all she wrote."

Billy’s NT crashed again

Look’s like nothings new

Captain Clean is hassling him

The network is down too

After listening to this song

Captain Clean felt very wrong

With a gun he ran down the hall

Captain Clean then shot us all

Good thing it was a water gun

The Captain’s really having fun

The gun leaked on him while he did his dance

The people upstairs thought he wet his pants

The Curse of "A" (Demo) (Track 15)

Well, he knocked on my door last night

He asked, "Where is Susan?"

I said, "She’s gone."

He said, "You are gone."

I said, "You’re all wrong."

He said, "Sing this song."

I said, "No way, she’s gone away."

He said, "You’ll pay."

I said, "How much you want?"

Tell it to the boy who knows nothing

We all know something

About the Curse Of "A"

The Ballad Of Scott Soroko (Track 20, Demo Version Track 25)

There's a Prelude car

Spanking new

With the "Web Boy" plate

In white and blue

It's parked outside the picture show

But my movie is over and I must go

We drive away and it's all right

'Cause Scotty's at the movies tonight

Scott phones in sick

He's got a cold

That's the lamest story

I've ever been told

I know he's down at Nevada Bob's

Instead of working on his jobs

He's buying some gloves (clubs?)

With great delight

'Cause Scotty's going golfing tonight

It's tournament time at the pool hall

Scott's rigged the game with a special ball

If someone finds out there'll be a fight

'Cause Scotty's playing pool tonight

Scott and Justin drive to the falls

As they answer all their cell phone calls

Without their mileage cheques they’re tight on cash

They have to break into Justin's special stash

It's not too much, but they'll be all right

'Cause Scotty and Justin are gambling tonight

Scott's driving a Woodie from 63

He's heading to the Beach with buddy Magee

He's got his board all waxed

And his wetsuit's on tight

'Cause Scotty's going surfing tonight

You might hear a Yanni tune

While you're dancing beneath the moon

The turntable is a rockin' and reelin'

With Morris Albert singing "Feelings"

But no one cares, it's all right

'Cause Scotty is the DJ tonight

The snowy slopes with antelopes

The Yeti's drinking beer

We fear Scott may rupture his spleen

When he hits that Evergreen

But, he survives, yes it's alright

'Cause Scotty's going skiing tonight

Like Fred Astaire and Ginger too

Scotty's dancing is pure and true

He'll surprise everyone with sheer delight

'Cause Scotty's tap dancing tonight

(not lap dancing, tap dancing)

A bag pipe tune plays in the air

Scotty dances without underwear

He's got a kilt on and he looks all right

'Cause Scotty's highland flinging tonight

The Con Man (Track 21)

I'm a master of disguises

And I'm wearing my disguise

And it's no big surprise

That I'm wanted dead or alive

I've had plastic surgery

So no one will know me

Yes I look so different this time

Since I committed the crime

The police won’t get me, I know

'Cause they move way too slow

Oh I'm so clever

I wish we were together

Now little Tommy Tiver

Was heading down the river

We he met up with the other boats in the blockade

Tommy dove in the water.

But the police jumped in after him

That's the day

That's the day when the con man got away

That's the day

That's the day when the con man got away

Spoken:

Could detective Scott

Prove that the man they'd caught

Was Tommy Tiver the con man?

He couldn't understand.

But a close examination, with determination

Proved without a doubt

The news was out.

Tommy Tiver had slipped through their fingers once again

I'm running down the road

You know I'm wanted in sixty states

My mind's in a bad state, going insane.

Held up a liquor store just the other day

They can't catch me ‘cause they’re going the wrong way

Caravella (Demo)

I can't believe it's true

When you say

That you really knew

About yesterday

I feel inside of me

Closing up

I look at book

Pour water in a paper cup

Time goes on

The demon sings his song

The horror as I watch

It's Caravella

Docked in the harbour

It’s Caravella,

Sailing in the port

No one knows where he's going

No one knows where he went

Last time I saw him that morning

He was boarding the ship

It's a phantom ship you know

It's been seen three times or so

The phantom man who haunted our house is gone

He went to sea

And the vessel he got on

Was Caravella

So if you're in lake Erie

Keep your eyes open wide

For the Spanish ship that long ago capsized

It still haunts these waters

So keep a watchful eye

For the ship may pass you by

I’m A Fake Mentalist (Demo) (Track 26)

Oh baby,

I really like you

Oh darling

Come a little closer

Oh baby,

Have you seen a dentist?

Oh baby,

I'm a fake mentalist

Oh baby,

Take care dear,

Oh baby,

My friend Ronnie's here

Oh darling

I've got your number

Oh baby

I’m a real bumbler

Oh baby

I wrote this tune driving

Oh baby

Winston's conniving

Oh darling

Winston is dead wrong

Oh baby

Winston's hair's long

Additional I'm A Fake Mentalist lyrics that do not appear on the album:

Oh honey

You don't forget it

Oh darling

I'm just not done yet

Oh great now

I've broken the mold

I'm just a fool

It looks like old

The working title for this song was "Oh Baby".

Silly Surfer (Demo)

Everybody's heading to the beach now

Goin’ surfin’, Goin’ surfin’

I see a girl on a surfboard, wow

She's surfin', she's surfin'

Well I'm just a silly surfer

Trying to impress the chicks

I'm just a silly surfer

Trying to get my kicks

So I paddle out on my board and try

I see a big wave coming and I nearly die.

Go surfin', Go surfin'

Well now I'm surfing with my buddy Tim.

I fall into the water and I can't swim.

Go surfin', Go surfin'

Well the girls on the beach like lying in the sun

But now I'm being laughed at by everyone

Go surfin', Go surfin'

Additional liner notes

Introduction To The D.A.W.G.

This instrumental was the last track recorded for the D.A.W.G. collection.

Alien Encounters / The Search For Johnny Breckon

"The Search For Johnny Breckon" and "Alien Encounters" were improvised by Scott Soroko and Troy Scott. Troy later edited these recordings. "The Search For Johnny Breckon" was recorded at the end of July 1998. "Alien Encounters" was recorded on August 10. The unedited versions of these tracks have been preserved and placed in the Reldni vaults. "The Search For Johnny Breckon" was made available on the Reldni webpage on July 23rd.

	Unedited Version Time	Album Version Time
The Search For Johnny Breckon	11:24	07:06
19:02	14:42

The Mighty Zinc Rupert / Little Kiddo Introduction / Little Kiddo Theme Song

Not including the bonus tracks, these were the first recordings made for the album. These tracks were made available on the Reldni webpage on June 1st as one MP3 file. Troy originally intended to include a complete and longer "Little Kiddo" story.

Comments To CNN / Insurance / Captain Clean

These recordings were made on a small cassette recorder, therefore the sound quality is noticeably different.

Clean Team Blues

This was recorded in one take with no overdubs. Troy sings and plays the ukulele.

The Ballad Of Scott Soroko

The demo "I Wonder What Scotty's Doing Tonight" was created during the recordings for The Year Of The Alfano album. For D.A.W.G., Troy slowed down the speed and overdubbed a second vocal. This modified version was renamed "The Ballad Of Scott Soroko". The original "I Wonder What Scotty's Doing Tonight" can still be heard on track 25.

The Con Man

A slide whistle can be heard in the spoken narration portion. Currently there are less than sixty states in the United States but the song takes place in the future.

A fourty second pause separates the Bonus Tracks from the rest of the album.

Caravella (Demo)

Caravella was recorded during the Polka 'Till You Drop Volume II sessions. The backing track was lost so the vocal could not be re-recorded without creating a completely new track. This demo was mastered from a cassette.

I'm A Fake Mentalist (Demo)

"I'm A Fake Mentalist" was recorded to test the new multi-channel soundcard that Troy purchased midway through the D.A.W.G. sessions.
