On the 5th episode of Jam Mechanics, we make amends to Bug for all the lost ice breakers. This is as close to a "Holiday Episode" as we get, and we almost got it right!

Jam Mechanics is a podcast hosted by Matt (The Narcissist Cookbook) and Bug (Bug Hunter) where we challenge each other to write a song demo from scratch every episode.

BUG'S SONG
Matt's challenge: First Contact (42 word max!)
Title: AlIen
Lyrics:
When I open up my phone, you're the first name on my list
An Alien emoji next to your name and I wish
When I open up my phone I wasn't forced to reminisce
but when I open up my phone you're the first name on my list

you're the first name on my list when I open up my phone
the Typo from the time we met I chose to leave alone
you're the first name on my list that will never phone home
you're the first name on my list when I open up my phone

The first contact on my list, when I open up my phone
the reminder of the time we met, the name I never chose
but AlIen, alphabetically will not leave me alone
you're the first name on my list when I open up my phone

MATT'S SONG
Bug's Challenge: Give me a (misunderstood) Christmas Song
Title: A Christmisunderstaning
Lyrics:
it's the moment of the midwinter
the time of yule
through a log on the fire
and let it burn
every crackle and spark will represent
a baby pig or a calf to be born next year

here he comes
across the sky
underneath cover of night
he knows who has been naughty
he knows who has been nice
he punishes the wicked
brings good tidings to the pure
so huddle up beside the fire
prepare for the coming of odin
lord of frenzy
weep for the coming of odin

it's december
25th and the children are playing with their new gifts
oh the light of joy in the eyes of a child
as the party winds down
as the wine runs dry
with snow on the ground
we remember the night of the virgin birth

happy birthday mithras
infant god
savior of the people
born from a rock
slayed a bull with your bare hands
so the souls of the sinful would be washed in the blood of the innocent

christmas trees were invented by the pagan celts
