MyVirtualBand.com was a website that began in late 2004 and closed in early 2007. On the site, musicians collaborated to create songs by uploading and downloading audio tracks. All the audio tracks on the site were released under the Creative Commons Attribution 2.0 license, which means that you can do pretty much what you want with the audio as long as you give credit to those who created it. There were 113 “featured songs” on the site, and a much greater number of songs “in progress”. Even though the site has shut down, the music from the site is still under the same license – which allows the songs to be re-released here in The Overnightscape Underground!

Lyrics:

God hates penguins
All penguins must die
He keeps them in the freezing cold
And will not let them fly

Now if you’ve got a poodle
And dress him up in black and white
God thinks that’s just the coolest thing y’all
He thinks they’re outta sight

I don’t know why God hates penguins so much
They’re not mentioned in the Bible
They’ve got nothing against him
They should sue him for libel

Penguins aren’t much good at conversation
Or differential calculus
But they’re smart enough to know when they’re being persecuted
By God and the rest of us

Now if you’ve got a black and white chicken
God thinks that’s really nice
You can fry it, you can bake, you can boil it in a pot
And serve it up with yellow rice

Now if you are a truly good person
You’ll ignore the lord above
And treat a penguin as a friend
All penguins need love

Penguins in love
Penguins in love
Penguins in love
Penguins in love
Penguins in love
Penguins in love
