Music / Songdrops

Songdrops are floating down, flowers bloom as they kiss the ground. Songdrops, it's such a lovely day.

Songdrops is the name for a bunch of songs created by a United States man named Bryant Oden, the first one being "Sun Drops", which was made into another version called "Songdrops", which is how his company got its name. Most of his songs are full of wacky humour, though there are some exceptions.

---

Songdrops provides examples of...

• The Ace: Tim Tebow, the character mentioned in one of the "Sarah Tells a Joke" videos, is mentioned to be exceptionally talented.
• Actually Pretty Funny: After being bothered for several days by a duck asking for grapes he obviously doesn't have to the point of threatening to glue him to a tree if he asks again, the lemonade man cracks up when the duck comes back one more time and opens by asking if he's got any glue.
• Added Alliterative Appeal: Several of the songs have alliterative titles and some characters have alliterative names. After "Bob the Snail" gets sung, a child's voice says, "That was a silly snail song".
• Affectionate Nickname: When the narrator doesn't know his date's name, he calls said date a ridiculous amount of these, from the mundane ("Dream Boat") to the wacky ("Snugglicious Cuddle Blossom").
• Alliterative Name: The frog's full name has names that all start with "f" except for the "McGrog". Other characters with alliterative names include Tim Tebow, Betty Botter and Peter Piper.
• Alliterative Title: "Sally Sells Sea Shells", "Peter Piper", "Five Fruit Flies Flew", "Please Don't Pee in the Pool", "Santa's Solar Sleigh", "Gary the Ghost" "A Little Like Love", "Holding Your Hand", "Barry the Bear" and "Please Pre-Freeze the Peas"
• Alphabet Song: The "CBA Song", which is the alphabet but sung backwards.
• An Aesop: "The Stinkbug and the Skunk" has the Aesop "just because you're bigger, doesn't mean you're better".
  • "Your Toupee" has one about not fussing over your appearance as everyone is their own beautiful.
  • "Santa's Solar Sleigh" has "sometimes what's old is best".
  • "The Bully Song" has the Aesop of "don't try to cheer yourself up by making someone else sad".
• Attention Deficit... Ooh, Shiny!: The song "Short Attention Span" has only one lyric: "This song goes out to anyone with a short attention span".
• Berserk Button: The character in "I Don't Like It" is peeved by people just saying "the same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same, same thing"
  • The narrator in both "Pi Songs" seems to hate math, even to the point of saying "Make it stop" when people recite pi.
  • In "The Summertime Song", the narrator is a bit grumpy about summertime in general but seems to especially hate bird poop. While hating bird poop is normal, he mentions it several times along with other equally annoying things.
  • The narrator in "The Fidget Spinner Song" is "driven crazy" by fidget spinners.
• Be Yourself: The song "The Forehead Face Song" has this.
  You're your own person with your own kind of style; don't you feel better now?
• Birthday Episode: "Your Birthday" is about the listener's birthday.
• The Bully: The narrator hopes to defy this in "The Bully Song", which has An Aesop of "When you're knocking someone else down, the lowest one is you".
• Cannot Spit It Out: "Will You Be My Valentine?" is a song about an acrostic poem for the word "Valentine". The "L" stands for "a word that [the narrator is] too shy to say".
• Cats Are Mean: Zigzagged. "The Cat Song" describes cats as mean, rude, annoying, arrogant creatures who scratch our faces but it also describes them as cute, sweet animals who love us. Cocoa also bites the narrator but she is generally a nice cat and she was just playing. Averted fully for the kittens Bandit and Poppy, and the corner store woman's cat. As for Cat from "The Name of My Frog", we never find out his/her intentions.
• Cats Are Superior: Zigzagged. The Cat Song describes cats as "thinking we're peasants" and "acting above us", but the actual cat characters don't seem arrogant.
• Cat Up a Tree: The corner store lady's cat is in a tree in "Poopers the Magic Penguin", so he makes it so the cat is no longer up the tree...but the dog is, leading to the man who works at the lemonade stand, who's also her Love Interest, to save him, leading to them getting together.
• Changing Chorus:
  • The chorus to "Skunkles the Christmas Skunk" usually has the line "He rides in the sleigh and he tries not to spray", but later the line changes to "He's Santa's copilot, though he never gets to fly it."
  • The chorus to "The Dihydrogen Monoxide Song" changes its third line every time. First it's "It's showing up in rivers far and wide", then "It seeps through your skin when it's hot outside", then "It's hard to wash off when it's liquefied", then "Apples test high for it unless they're dried", then finally "Levels increase at high tide".
• Character Death: The narrator dies and goes to the afterlife in "Found a Peanut", and the Funny Little Bug somehow "a-little-bit-dies".
• Children Do the Housework: In "The Mother's Day Song" and "The Father's Day Song", a young boy tries to do the chores as a surprise for his parent, but unfortunately, he fails miserably — he washes their clothes in the dishwasher, vacuums without the power, uses the shower to clean their iPad, forgets to turn the hose off after watering the houseplants, uses olive oil to clean the car, and breaks the stove trying to make breakfast.
• Christmas Episode: Several songs take place on Christmas.

• Crappy Homemade Gift: In "The Mother's Day Song" and "The Father's Day Song", which are identical except for the parent and the occasion, the protagonist tries to make a nice day for their parent but fails miserably. One failure is that he tried to make his parent breakfast, but the oatmeal splattered up to the ceiling, the orange juice spilled on the floor, and the bacon turned out so badly that it broke the stove.
• Creepy Doll: In "The Thirteen Days of Halloween", the witches give the narrator some of these.
• Cue the Flying Pigs: "The Cubs Won" has Hell freeze over and pigs fly because the Cubs won.
• Cute Kitten: Cocoa, the kitten mentioned in "Cocoa the Cute Little Coo-Coo Calico Kitten", is a sweet kitten who the narrator really likes. Bandit and Poppy are also a cute, frisky pair of kittens.
• Dark Parody:
  • "The Wheels on the Bus are Falling Off" is a parody of "The Wheels on the Bus" where the bus is full of screaming children, angry snakes, and zombies, the engine is burning, the wheels are, well, falling off, and no one knows where the first-aid kit is.

• Funny Animal: The duck, Honey Bear and his sister are all walking, talking animals.
• Fully-Dressed Cartoon Animal: Honey Bear wears a full suit of clothes, underwear included.
• The Gadfly: The duck's primary goal in life seems to be needling random humans; he bothers a lemonade stand and a corner store for grapes he knows they don't have, and he carries on with this for multiple consecutive days to the increasing annoyance of their operators. He doesn't even legitimately want grapes, and the one time he asks for a product the corner store does have, it's for the sole purpose of making a pun.
• Good News, Bad News: The announcement for the "mature" songs was in the form of this (e.g. "Good news, I wrote a new song, bad news it's rated mature").
• Hated Item Makeover: Discussed in "The Mother's Day Song" and "The Father's Day Song". The kid, among other things, paints the ceiling for their parents and accidentally gets paint on the carpet.

"Die" and related words are not censored if it's played for laughs (e.g. "I Won't Give Up 'Til I Win Your Heart" has the lyric "It's too bad an ugly rat died right where the fruit was at."), but are sometimes avoided if played seriously (for instance, "Now You're Gone" implies that someone's friend is dead but they're only referred to as "gone"). "For Dad" avoids the word "Hell" via a Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion (despite referring to the place and not as an expletive), but "The Cubs Won" manages to use the phrase "Hell's frozen over".

  • In "The Pi Song", some people ask, "Would you like some pi?". The singer, thinking they meant pie, replies in the affirmative and the other people start reciting pi to him.

• Special Occasions Are Magic: In "My Pet Monster", the only time the monster isn't invisible is on Halloween.
• Subverted Rhyme Every Occasion: The song "Before I Could Rhyme" is about this, justified because the singer can't rhyme, and in the song "I Don't Like Tomatoes", the rhymes always rhyme something that rhymes with 'art' with "Far...too unhappy", likely hinting at the word "fart".

• The Undead: Zombies are mentioned in "The Wheels on the Bus are Falling Off" and "Zombies Just Wanna Be Loved". Ghosts are mentioned in "Gary the Ghost".
