Yay! We got started! This started with some midi beats I was messing around with, of course. The beat kind of suggested a rhyme scheme to me immediately... which is "Tricky" meets Eddie Valiant doing "The Merry Go Round Broke Down", of course. I wrote half the lyrics and left spaces for Ian to add his. The "Heys" were totally Ian's idea.

lyrics
K: Ian!
I: Kyle?
K: Ian, are you ready to do this?
I: I am..moderately ready.
K: I'M ready to do this!
I: Then let's do this!
Both: Scooter Picnic in the house!
K: Our Name is Scooter Picnic! I'm Kyle and he's Ian!
We are the whitest rapping nerds That you have ever seen!
I: We are called Scooter Picnic, as you have just now heard
We rock a rhyme that's right on time, that's catchy and absurd
K: My name is TV's Kyle! I make the bloopy sounds!
Regurgitating crazy beats from midis that I found!
I: My name is Insane Ian! I like to play the games!
I'll rock your socks, and on Xbox, achievements I will claim!
Chorus: HEY! (x16)
K: Our name is Scooter Picnic! How do you friggin' do?
We've got a month to make some awesome nerdcore tracks for you!
I: Our name is Scooter Picnic! I'm Ian and that's Kyle
We may not be the best rappers but at least we have style!
K: My name is TV's Kyle! I tend to keep it clean.
My mutton chops will love you lots. What does that even mean?
I: My name is Insane Ian! By now I'm sure you know.
But I have to keep telling you, that's how this intro goes.
Chorus: HEY! (x16)
K: Our name is Scooter Picnic! He's Ian and I'm Kyle.
We hope you keep this record in rotation for a while.
I: We like the repetition and saying our own names.
Well Kyle does, that's obvious, but I think that it's strange.
K: My name is TV's Kyle! I like to draw cartoons
I bring to you my pirate cow and froggy suit raccoon!
I: My name's Insane Ian, It's time we moved along.
You've got the point of this here joint, Let's go play Donkey Kong!
Chorus: HEY! (x16)
K: We did it!
I: Yeah.
K: We got - got through the song!
I: Yes.
K: Ian! Ian, we did it.
K: Yes, Kyle. We certainly did.

Kyle has a gift for creating earworms—catchy tunes that you just cannot get out of your head until they've achieved their purpose. (Which is? That would be telling...) At the moment I'm particularly fond of "I Don't Know Why There's a Bug in Here," which I predict within five years will dominate campfires and school buses. Brother Osric
Completely honest reviews: I bought this album because my ego made me after finding out my name is mentioned in one of the songs. But it's also a good album! It's nice to hear Ian banter with the audience. That's something you don't get on his other albums. Eclectic Lee
