Yo Ho! (The Nietzsche Pronunciation Seafaring Blues)
Before we embraced the world of sound with – let’s not lie here – a pretty boot-bottomly bitchin’ podcast, we had several less advisable attempts at musicianship. While we had a lot to learn in the ways of musical timing and audio editing, we hope you still enjoy these tracks in the intended spirit of amateurish fun.
To hear some competently produced tunes, check out these Songs from the Podcast.

Lyrics after the jump.
Chorus:
Yo ho, yo ho, yo ho, yo ho,
Yo ho, yo ho, Nietzsch-ah or Nietzsch-ee
Frankly we don’t have a clue
Yo ho, yo ho, Nietzsch-ah or Nietzsch-ee
We suspect neither do you
Yo ho, yo ho, Nietzsch-ah or Nietzsch-ee
(Repeat Chorus)
We’d appreciate your help.
Yo ho, yo ho, Nietzsch-ah or Nietzsch-ee
Try and find a rhyme for “help”
Yo ho, yo ho, Nietzsch-ah or Nietzsch-ee
(Repeat Chorus)
For the standard in-joke now
Yo ho, yo ho, Nietzsch-ah or Nietzsch-ee
Steak and mushroom pie contains cow
Yo ho, yo ho, Nietzsch-ah or Nietzsch-ee
(Chorus, Fade Out)
