I have written some songs to my own music, and other songs using (stealing?) other people's tunes. I have grouped the songs below into two groups. The first group is a bunch of old hymns that I have rewritten as parodies. They are intended to make fun of Christianity and religion in general, so if you are a dedicated Christian, you may not like this approach--feel free to ignore these. If you think that you would enjoy them, though, then please check them out. The second group are songs that I have written to my own music. Some are serious and some "not-so-serious".
REWRITTEN HYMNS
I have written a "hymnal", Gawdawful Hymns, a collection of hymns which I have rewritten as parodies. I have posted seven hymns that I have parodied below. These are seven that do not appear in the "hymnal" for one reason or another, so you can just have them "for free", but they give you a few samples of the kinds of songs you will get to enjoy if you buy the book.

MY OWN MUSIC
There is not always a clear distinction between a song that is for fun and one that is serious. Many of my fun songs have serious message behind them, and many of my serious songs have something humorous or fun in them. I have done my best to categorize them into the category that they fit best. I have "thrown caution to the wind" and posted these songs with the musical scores, so if you are a musician, have fun! I have also posted an audio link to a recording of the music. (These are not "professional quality" recordings, but will allow you to hear what the tune sounds like.)
