about

Our entry for round 0 of the NurEin song competition.
We had to write an educational song entitled 'First Blood'. From that, we came up with a self replicating asexual song on a being that is a clone - literally a 'First Blood' relation to itself.

No one got it. Who'd have thunk that? Luckily, we still passed to the next round.

lyrics

First Blood by The Boffo Yux Dudes

Well, the feeling is right 
 

And when I’m ready I can go all night 
 

All I need is the sun 
 
I got food and love for everyone


Chorus: 
 

I’m my own autotrophic love 
 

Inorganic compounds fit me like a glove 
 

Make my own sweet love like this 
 

It’s like photosynthesis 
 

I can do it by myself if push comes to shove 
 
 


Its tough when your brood  
 

can become one of you 
 

Your Dad and Your Mom  
 

are your Brother and Sister too.
 
  

It's all due to Autotrophic love
All I need is starch and lipids, and that’s enough
Even though I’m hard to see
There’s no fungi quite like me
You bet I can’t multiply; I’ll call your bluff!
 
 
Bridge: 
An au·to·troph is an organism capable of synthesizing its own food from inorganic substances, using light or chemical energy. Green plants, algae, and certain bacteria are autotrophs. 

I gotta be me. I gotta be... I'm... I'm the only thing I am. I'm just me - so Me and Me and I

All I need is myself 
 

The stuff around me is my source of wealth 
 

Don’t need a mate to divide 
 
‘
Cause all the love I need I have inside 
 
 


Chorus: 
 
I’m my own autotrophic love 
 

Inorganic compounds fit me like a glove 
 

Make my own sweet love like this 
 

It’s like photosynthesis 
 

I can do it by myself if push comes to shove 

I, myself, and me and me and someone else, maybe I. 
Hmm.. I think  I've Got a Band...

Old guys who should know better. The ones your parents warned you about. Allan Morgan and Tom Giarrosso head this version of BYD with Scott Mercer and Partick Montello, using rabid optimism that they'll be remembered for more than just all those Elvis Traffic interactives with DJ's around the USA. ... more
