I've been trying to space out uploads of my backlogged songs, so that I can submit each one to the Furry Musicians Spotlight. However, I have no intention of submitting this one lol, so there's no point in waiting any longer.
"Why Do I Love You?" is a song that I wrote and recorded for FAWM (February Album Writing Month) 2023. It was the next song that I wrote after the very heavy and serious Easter Sunday, and it couldn't be more different. This one's played strictly for laughs. It's basically about a person who falls in love with someone, despite that person being the most despicable person that they know. You'll be happy to know that very little in this song is based on real-life experience. In reality, I hate mayonnaise, and would never purchase it lol. I can tell you, however, that once you're on a Scientology mailing list, you're pretty much on it for life (no, I was never involved with those whack-jobs, but my mother's second husband was-- fucker hasn't been in our lives for 20 years, and Scientology shit still shows up in the mail).
I regard this one as a little bit of a 'throwaway' song-- it isn't one of my favorites. It gave me a really hard time. I probably made it a lot more difficult than it had to be, and I spent a really long time working on the music. I never quite got everything how I wanted it to be, but I got to a point where I was just spending way too much time on it for a FAWM demo, and I just had to finish the damn thing. By the time I finished the music, I didn't have a lot of patience left, and I think it shows in the vocal performance. Or maybe I tried my best, but the verses are just a little below my range. At any rate, I like the lyrics... but the recording could be better.
I'm a little afraid that I might catch hell for one part of the lyrics. I've addressed it indirectly on other sites, but on FA I want to state this very clearly: There is absolutely no ill intention whatsoever behind the line in the second verse about the singer's love interest spreading a rumor about them undergoing gender reassignment surgery. I think that anyone would agree that it would be a pretty dirty trick for someone to spread an untrue rumor along those lines about another person, and that's the point of the line. The main reason I even chose that topic as the subject of the line is because the word 'genders' worked perfectly as a rhyme for the next couplet, which I had already written. I truly hope that no one is offended, because I support and greatly admire my friends and acquaintances in the transgender community. 🏳️⚧️
Hope this song gives you a couple of laughs.

"Why Do I Love You?" (4:40)
Written and recorded February 2023
You don't remember how we met
I don't see how you could forget that fateful day
You ran me over with your car
And then backed up over my jar of mayonnaise
You said you would replace the Hellmann's, and my hip
But all you gave me was a jar of Miracle Whip (they're NOT the same thing!)
You're ungrateful, unfaithful
Unkind and uncouth
You're intrusive, abusive
You know it's the truth
I wish I didn't spend so much time thinking of you
You're everything I hate
So why do I love you?
You called up everyone I know
And told them all that I was going to switch genders
You put my photo on the wall
Down at the post office with all the sex offenders
You say that this is just the way that you joke around
But it wasn't funny when my neighbors burned my house down
You're invasive, abrasive
A brat and a brute
You're disgusting, mistrusting
And ugly to boot
I wish I didn't spend so much time thinking of you
You're everything I hate
So why do I love you?
You called up the scientologists
And got me on their mailing list
Let me make myself clear, that was uncalled for
But somehow, it only made me love you more
You're ungrateful, unfaithful
Unkind and uncouth
You're intrusive, abusive
You know it's the truth
I wish I didn't spend so much time thinking of you
You're everything I hate
So why do I love you?
You're invasive, abrasive
A brat and a brute
You're disgusting, mistrusting
And ugly to boot
I wish I didn't spend so much time thinking of you
You're everything I hate
So why do I love you?
Why do I love you?
Why do I love you?
Why do I love you?
I wish I knew why it is true
Why do I love you?
Why do I love you?
Why do I love you?
I wish I knew why it is true
