"The Pelican Song" The FOG (original music)

[Thalysiakeuh]

awesome !!!

[dmio2]

@Thalysiakeuh Thanks for listening. This one is my "art" piece.

[MrECLECTICIAN]

FUN!! bird bird bird's the word! ....When fishing off the bridges in between the Florida Keys the pelicans will come and steal you cut bait right in front of you if you're not watching. They also will gladly catch any fish you want to throw thier way....that said... don't you know about the bird? Everyone knows that the bird is the word.

[dmio2]

@MrECLECTICIAN Thanks for listening! I got inspired watching pelicans on the Oregon coast a few years ago. There were some cool puffins too, but pelican is a much more musical word don't ya think

[hnonlinemagazine]

Too bad that we aren't neighbors because I would love to Jam with you. This song is very funny, BTW. Keep up the good work.

[dmio2]

@hnonlinemagazine I guess since we live 4700 miles apart the jam session might be a bit difficult to arrange. But thanks for listening!

[cindyburgoyne]

:) Peeeeeeeel pelicaaaaaaan

[dmio2]

@cindyburgoyne I'm glad you're getting into the spirit of the thing. Thanks for listening!

[faffytunes]

Nice one like songs with a sense of humour

Pelican pel pel pelican singing along

[Hiimdj99]

I Like Pelicans....

[dmio2]

@Hiimdj99 Thanks for listening!

[shaftdrive]

well, if beiber can do one song with one word...

[dmio2]

@shaftdrive I know, I don't get why I'm not famous yet. Thanks for listening.

[jmcmma9]

I like the part where you say pelican

[dmio2]

@jmcmma9 Thanks for the careful listening! A Lot of people miss that part.

[ThePatheticClub]

This song transported my brainwaves to the great alien spaceship of space... IN SPACE!!!

[dmio2]

@ThePatheticClub You're welcome.

[bowlingballout]

That was pretty cool!

[dmio2]

@bowlingballout Thanks for listening. I thought you might be the sort that appreciates one word poetry.

[mileyice13]

Best song ever.

[dmio2]

@mileyice13 Thanks for listening!... now if I can only get the Jonas brothers to cover it. :)

[HOOKAMONKY]

Haaaaaaaaaaaaa! I just found my new favorite song! You crack me up...I see we will get a long just fine my new friend!! lol

[dmio2]

@HOOKAMONKY Thanks for listening. You may be right since we seem to have the same form of dementia

[dmio2]

@marazwack Thanks for listening. I don't think you're in the majority having this as a fav tune, but I'll take what I can get. I'm partial to puffins too, but 'pelican' is a much more musical word don't ya think

[PurpleSkittles11]

haha this is great :)

[dmio2]

@PurpleSkittles11 Thanks for listening and taking a minute to comment!

[RodleenGetsic]

awesome

[dmio2]

@RodleenGetsic Thanks for listening!

[RodleenGetsic]

awesome

[dmio2]

@AbbyNormalbby That oil spill is a heck of a way to get hits, but I thank you for listening and commenting. Any friend of pelicans is a friend of mine.

[dededede40]

ummm ok

[dmio2]

@dededede40 Yeah, I know its weird. I like to think of it as my "art" piece. Thanks for listening.

[theneighborsvideos]

A tribute to pelican pelican pel pel pelican - love it. I'll bet you could come up with a cool beat for "chickadees." They are so cute, and they would work for sunflower seeds.

[dmio2]

Hi neighbors, thanks for listening. I always worry that my friends will get lost in the sea of pelican songs out there. Yeah, "chickadee" is a pretty musical word... I think those guys have a nice little song of their own too.

[experimentalrock]

Did you get pelicans to help you with this? It would be like having Buddy Guy playing with you on a blues track. Good fun!

[dmio2]

Yeah, I wanted to collab with the birds, but I live inland & couldn't come up with enough sushi to pay them.

[experimentalrock]

Pelicans do nothing for free!

[dmio2]

You know, I bet Buddy Guy charges too.

[experimentalrock]

What! Those bastards charged you? That is so like a pelican.

[wizardeal]

Once a headbanger always a headbanger, I need a beer.

[mishrathium]

I gota admit. One word never sounded so dam cool! Nice vid too. ~ Raz

[dmio2]

Hi Raz, thanks for listening. This is the weirdest of my stuff... the rest is a bit more standard lol

[RevelingInReverie]

Best video I've seen in awhile! Thanks for putting a smile on my face. Perhaps you can do an entire catalogue of avian songs :)

[dmio2]

Hey, thanks for listening. Good idea, but in creating this one I decided "Puffin" just isn't as musical as "Pelican"

[kennymelodica]

so this song is about Pelicans is that right ? I have the tremendous ability to notice the obvious :D

Awesomely awesome song and great video too

5 stars!

[dmio2]

Hi Kenny & the captains. Thanks for listening. Yep, its about pelicans; I figured clever folks like you would catch on to the deep hidden meanings.

[itislulunobody]

Hey, this is very meaningful.

You've made an excellent tribute to these excellent birds.

The Pelican is the word!

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, Maggie. I'm quite thrilled that you appreciate the art of pelican.

[ljped]

Love it!!! very cleverly done - great visuals and lovely sax. Well done Dan.

[dmio2]

Hi Jack, I'm glad you're back on-line; you wouldn'g want to miss this silliness. Thanks for listening.

[7lizet]

lovely beat and great vid

i really enjoyed it

I was dancing along a bit

very original and creative

[dmio2]

Hi 7lizet, I'm glad you kept listening to our stuff even after this silly tune. Thanks for stopping by.

[gannibus]

You and three other cats are my favoritist musicians on 'da web,Dmio2...your music ALWAYS makes me wanna rock...

so the Pelican was that bird,eh?You get me every time!!

[dmio2]

Hi gannibus. The last couple tunes I did were kind of standard blues tunes, so this time I wanted to do something weird to impress nut jobs such as yourself. I'm just trying to do what comes naturally to you. We should compare notes on our favorite youtubers. I bet we'd like a lot of the same kind of stuff.

[artgirlsreality]

this was FUN!!! :D cool animation too. thanks for sending it over to ME! ROCK ON.

meg

[dmio2]

Hi Meg, thanks for checking it out and leaving such an enthusiastic comment!

[debcoart]

Brilliant! Pelicans are my favorite birds. You have presented them in a humorous and delightful fashion. Thanks for sharing and making this video for them!!

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, deb. It seems quite a few people like pelicans. And here I thought I was alone.

[gannibus]

Hey,man,  What kind of bird was that?

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, gannibus. I thought that info was in there, but I guess not. I'll check wikipedia and get back to you.

[MicheleMidnight]

witty concept and all things pelican! too cute....

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, Michele. Pelicans are almost as much fun as eggs.

[MicheleMidnight]

i would have to agree!

[BluesMamaRaven]

I love your spirit - your sense of humor, and of course getting me to look closer at Pelican... love it Dan, you are one of a kind! THANK YOU FOR BRINGING PELICAN into my Vision!

-PELICAN TOTEM

Pelican Medicine: rise to the top no matter what life throws; no matter how weighed down with lifes trials & tribulations. Emotional turmoil is often the weight of this Totem. Pelican teaches to not sink in troubles, but to rise above. Pelican shares nesting & food, teaching unselfishness & teamwork.

[dmio2]

Raven, you leave the coolest comments. I like puffins too, but their name isn't quite as musical lol. Thanks for sharing the pelican totem. I think this is something I need to reflect on at this moment in my life. It makes me wonder is somehow my unconscious called forth this project to put pelican into MY vision. That seems cooler then Dan was just being goofy one day.

[BluesMamaRaven]

Dan, don't wonder. Everything is purposeful. You were visited by Pelican. Now you gotta find the medicine path. =o)

[slippereal]

pelican!

[dmio2]

really, what else can one say? Thanks for listening Mikedelic.

[JeriLynnKarr]

The pelicans were beckoning me to come hither . . . .again . . . .

[dmio2]

Hi JeriLynn, I realize you've been hypnotized, but I like to pretend you visit on your own volition.

[thenatureway]

very nice!

[dmio2]

Thanks for stopping by, nature. I was thinking you might be the sort who digs pelicans & such.

[stephenjamescrowther]

hello mate love those PEACE SIGNS brother,even storm boy would like this

rock on mate,great to be here

five stars man sj.

[dmio2]

Hi sj, thanks for checking it out. Yeah, the FOG studio is a peacenik zone.

[fingercheese]

So wierd...it speaks to me in a way that Frank used too...awesome song man...

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, Rob. I was definitely trying to hit one into left field with this one. Its nice to be in the same sentence with Frank, although I'm not worthy.

[fingercheese]

You are worthy man...we can't all be Frank....I'm gonna be doing a trib to him soon called....Fingercheese, Shut Up, n play yer...

[JeriLynnKarr]

Penguin Penguin Pee Pee Pee-heen-guin :D

Now Brother Dan, I ask you, did you intend this as a "brainwash" song because it's playing over * over in my HEAD!!

Very cool :)

[dmio2]

So JeriLynn, you've caught on to my diabolical plan. No matter, a few more "pelicans" and you'll be puddy in my hands... muah hah hah hah

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, md. I'll send you the lyrics if you want to cover it. btw, I recommend avoiding the stork. Kids turn out to be really pesky.

[cchhaanneeyy]

LOL!!! Fog, you're nuts!!! LOL!!! Loved the song and Angelica thought it was great as well

[dmio2]

Hi cchhaanneeyy, I was thinking you were probably nuts enough to enjoy this silly project. Thanks for checking it out.

[Einseedler]

Awesome job. once aGAIN .. YOU AMAZE ME.

Luved the animation sequence.

[dmio2]

Hi Einseedler. Thanks for checking it out. I guess you didn't know I was a pelican artist as well. I was thinking we're about due for some new stuff from you.

[NickJWeaver]

Excellently hilarious. I love it!

[dmio2]

Hi Nick, thanks for listening!

[edro333]

Once again, you've proved you are near a genius...somewhere close by. This is great; thanks for tuning me into the pelican experience. Not sure of the earlier comparison to the Beach Boys on acid...more like way too much beer!

[dmio2]

Thanks for stopping by, edro. I was thinking I was getting a bit predictable with my pathetic blues song so I came up with this so nut-jobs would think I was a genius.

[inkkblot]

Great video! It takes a lot of artistic courage to explore the whole pelican emotional space.

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening inkkblot. I'm glad you appreciate the amount of emotional risk something like this takes.

[Thalysiakeuh]

haha this is really awesome,

luv the song and the vid xD

it keeps going in my head now pelican, pelican, pel pel pelican ....

5 stars without any doubt xD

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, Thalysiakeuh. It makes me laugh that you have a silly pelican song stuck in your head.

[wolfgang8u]

back for another listen to this i love it. I think the beat stands really strong. I have always been a fan of Congo sound. I use some synthetic ones in my recordings some times but. The synthetic ones suck

[dmio2]

Hi Wolfgang. One thing I found out is that just because you buy some drums, you don't automatically know how to play them lol. When I actually recorded this I used drum sticks because I couldn't get a nice sound with my hands. Plus eventually I just used a 1 measure clip of my playing and repeated it. It turns out I can't keep a steady rythem lol. Thanks for stopping by.

[crawleykakes]

O how I love the pelican

His beak can hold more than, his belly can

I don't know, how the hell he can

COLUMBO

[dmio2]

It must be great to have a poetic quote stored away for just the right moment.

[crawleykakes]

Indeed !

[crawleykakes]

Great Googly Moogly !

[dmio2]

Really, what else could one say? Thanks for listening crawley.

[jimmymac30]

It's like the Beach Boys on acid, and I mean that in the most complimentary sense!!

[dmio2]

Thanks for stopping by jimmy. I dig the comparison!

[BigLoveZone]

we can learn so much from the pelican...what Im not sure but something! very enjoyed!

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, BigLove.  Yes, the wisdom of the Pelican is esoteric.

[wolfgang8u]

nice great man love it.

i was dancing around my living room like an indian aboriginal singing a back beat vocal. Woo Woo woo woo aeye eye eye Eye

Really great man. I recorded about ten songs this week. A lot of covers but some original stuff too

[dmio2]

Hi Wolfgang. I wanted to do something wierd so I guess if you're dancing around the room I've achieved my goal. Thanks for listening. Looking forward to your new stuff.

[keanghiero]

Nice

5*

All the best

Kean

[dmio2]

Hi Kean, thanks for listening. I imagine a wordsmith like yourself is quite impressed with my poetry.

[keanghiero]

Sure, I am, my friend.

all the best

Kean

[paddyRYAN1367]

what the HELLICAN,,,,,,I SUPPOSE GANNET DIDNT HAVE THE SAME RING TO IT.........roumur has it the F 16 was a rip-off of the pelican,,,,,,,,,,,,good stuff dan,,,

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, Paddy. Gannet would have been good. I did briefly consider using Puffin, but lets face it... that would just be silly.

[nordicsky]

Thanks for posting this. The Pelican is one of my favourite birds...they seem to be on a permanent high and full of fun.

I like the grey ones you see on the east coast of the States.

Regards, Peter

[dmio2]

Hi Peter, thanks for checking out my silly song. I like those big beak dive bombers too.

[WizKil]

Watching you pound your head made me think.. Yep he must be married! ;-p

Very kool old man! 5*

You nailed that one, Brian. 17-years of total bliss (once I gave up being right)

[wizardeal]

I'm speechless

[dmio2]

Just the effect I was looking for! Thanks for listening, Tim.

[wizardeal]

Success indeed. I was totally like... WTF?

[archtopbrownie]

Pelicans are absolutely the coolest of birds. Those diving scenes are great... and yes, a pelican would definitely play a sax.

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening, Lance. I know, initually I was going to put a guitar solo there, but that would have just been ridiculous

[jessatilley]

great video on sooooo many levels - lol - that'll keep me smiling all day, thanks :))

[dmio2]

Hi Jessa. I'm glad you recognize true art lol

[losthills]

We are all Pelicans, my brothers,,,,

[dmio2]

That's right, losthills, we must embrace the pelican in all of us. Glad you get it.

[tps607]

This is fun! *****

[dmio2]

Hi tps, I'm glad you could endure a few minutes of silliness. Thanks for listening.

[elviradark6]

haha, i hope your head is ok Dan! what a fantastic well put video, the singing was excellent!! =)

[dmio2]

Hi elvira, yeah, the head is damaged, but one must sacrifice for their art.

[elviradark6]

indeed! =)

[cameragirlJane]

Now this is going to be stick in my head! Cool one! The beginning looked painful..LOL:) *****

[dmio2]

Hi Jane, yeah, sorry about that. This is a sticky one. Thanks for listening.

[liz1060]

This reminds me of the goofy music numbers in the 60's beach movies-- lol!

[dmio2]

Hi Liz. Yeah they had a lot of do-wop singers in those days. Thanks for listening.

[cadwalladee]

Man, you are deranged!!! (in a nice way)

This is GREAT!

I'm glad to see your humor has not lost it's edge!

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening cadwalladee. I was going for deranged... thought I was getting a bit predictable.

[mettanc]

what's the name of this song??

cool!

Very creative, nice job!

Hi Tracey, Thanks for listening.

Peace and love!

[dmio2]

Thanks for listening CanadianBeaver. Pelicans eat fish and Beavers eat bark so I guess there will be peace!

[Babieisis]

That was really nice, good work!

[dmio2]

Hi Baieisis, thanks for listening & the nice comment. good luck to you in the studeo.

[Babieisis]

Thank you so much, and good luck to you too in all...

[Boucrate]

Where they pelicans? lol!

Cool harmonies and tribute video to pelicans;-)

[dmio2]

Hi Boucrate, just want to give pelicans their due.
