So I’m finally trying to work through all those home videos we transferred from the old camcorder tapes a few years ago, right? Currently I’m just going through and making a list of all the things on each tape. Most tapes are the old spring and Christmas plays from St. Mary’s, videos of us opening presents on Christmas Eve and Christmas, and a good number of videos of me doing my dumb “I’m Stephen Spielberg, look at my amazing movies” stuff from elementary school and junior high.

But at the end of one of the tapes was this audio:

That is obviously me singing, but I don’t have any recollection of singing this (or writing it). I don’t know if I was trying to parody something or if I was just making a dumb “rap” and thought it sounded cool; in a lot of my other videos, if I’m making fake commercials or something like that, I’m parodying something that was on TV at the time (like the “I’m Bob from The Money Tree” or Hot Pockets commercials that were parodied in my “Fifth Grade Movie” thing).

For “context,” the other two things that were on this tape (which was labeled “Christmas Play” – super descriptive) were the St. Mary’s Christmas play/concert from 1999 and the first version of our video report on “Stepping on the Cracks” from fifth grade. So if I recorded this song around the same time as these other parts, I would have been…11 years old?

Sounds about right.

But who actually knows.

I sure screeched a lot, though.
