Drive-thru music

One of my favorite They Might Be Giants songs is the brilliant "Fingertips" from their 1992 Apollo 18 album. Actually, "Fingertips" is more of a suite of song fragments. If you get the CD version, you'll see that it actually spans 21 tracks, with the average track clocking in around 13 seconds. If you set your CD player to shuffle, it makes it pretty interesting. You can preview it here with either Windows Media Player or Real Player..

And my point is...?

Andrew, the creator of Songs To Wear Pants To makes little songs like "Fingertips", but you get to decide how they get made. Go ahead and send an email describing your song idea, and if he chooses your suggestion, he'll write a song to your specifications. The songs are 1:11 long or under, though if you want to commission him for a longer piece, you can pay him some $$.

Here are a couple of examples from STWPT, but it's worth browsing the archives for more:
