That's a cool little scene. . .the hookah would probably make me paranoid if Buyer drives like Cassady, but that wouldn't stop me from being happy that i stumbled onto this trip, and happy to pass around party favours for all. I picture it driving around the English countryside, where everything is so green. . . I'd say "hey, stop and pick up this Kiwi-lookin' dude with the guitar!" I would load the thing up with microphones like Further to catch every sound. . . "who brought their 4-tracks?"

*Sticks thumb out*

excellent tributes

and that is why I composed this piece

I'm getting this mental image of this bus that is a cross between the Merry Prankster's bus Further and the Magic School Bus. The Buyer is in the driver's seat and he is a strange cross between Neal Cassidy and Ms. Frizzle, but sounds like Darth Vader when he speaks. Unklespaz and Pauline are riding on top of the bus causing mayhem to the citizens on the streets, occasionally dropping down to check in on the other denizens riding the bus and sit around the hookah. Aaron sits up front near The Buyer regaling him with fantastic stories of unknown origin. The Buyer doesn't really give a #@&%! and every once in a while threatens Aaron with the Darth Vader death grip. IE spends most of his time on his skateboard tied to a rope behind the bus, yelling for more speed bumps. PM, Balcerebon, Poolhouse, QC, and That Guy from ELO sit in the middle of the bus wondering how the hell they got talked in to getting on the bus, but seemingly enjoying the ride just the same. WillB is attempting to snag passerbys with his fishing rig and passing out cold bottles of Three Philosophers Ale to everyone. Sputnikov and Babar sit way in the back acting like wise old sages, spewing words of wisdom which none of the other riders take seriously. The stereo system is permanently stuck playing a Pauline Trouble tune, but no one seems to notice, as the hookah is used frequently.

Buyer dude....you could be an ass at times...but your opening statement on that thread is pretty damn cool.

Wow. I don't care who did what. This is the best.

Wow. I don't care who did what. This is the best.

I do want to thank my buddy Sputnikov for the monster mutant bass!!

once all the brain goo was boiled down, blended and distilled figuring out who is doing what gets difficult. But rest assured everyone is on the bus.

to me: it sounds like "burrrreeeeeeeetarrrrrdddddd oooohweee owwweeehhhh mo arrrrrgh blarrrrrrghg, but that's only my part: I'm working out the bari-treble bass ride through continuum right?

some of the stuff that came out of those brains was interesting to say the least.....Redfizz Whiskey?

this was thoroughly extracted from the brains of the fellow shortbussers, boiled down and made into a syrup to distill the essence of our flavor into a substance that is palpable for the masses

perfect title, and damn good composition. great work!

Thanks for the feature. This was something that was sitting around for a couple of years and I never got back to it. I was trying to get the feeling of a bus that keeps rolling along...sorta like Redfizz and all you Shortbussers who make this a special place.

i am riding on the short bus
and i hope we go far
i am riding on the short bus
which i now give 5 stars
la la la la lalalala la la la

this is funny stuff. love the midi trumpet solo

yeah, cool use of the melodic spectrum. love the colors and ups and downs. great brass! i love this

what is about being a teenager and riding in the back of the bus that gives one a hardon? cool music man, love the bass line and the funky stuff that kicks in at :30

It's cheesy but i kinda love it. It actually has some really cool melodies in it.

the beginning cow bell made me think you were going to jump right into "bad obsession" by gnr. hahaha

I love this, and yes I forgot my little simian friend was sposed to help...
Miss dat shortbus!

i love this little tune! it makes emma and i do funny dances in the kitchen.

i am riding on the short bus
taking the long way home
i am riding on the short bus
its where i belong
la la la la lalalala la la

i am riding on the short bus
and the ride is free
i am riding on the short bus
with my temporary family
la la la la lalalala la la la

ok, there is my contribution to the lyrics.........NEXT!

pure fun-ness. that horn section is my favorite part. this is calling out for a stop motion video.
