Description
This is kind of a quazi ska pop thingy
Awhile back, a friend who does alot of sound for commercials and movies and such, was put in charge of all the audio for a ful length animated feature. We had been in a band together a decade earlier, and I was the writer. Anyway he remembered me and called with this project. They sent me a script and some animation, so I could get a feel. Then they explained the scene I was writing for. It went like this...
These power tools are trying to influence the decision of the craftsman, so while he sleeps they try to cook him a meal... but they are inept and it is a disaster. They wanted the song to be like Shrek “Allstar”, in that they didn’t want the characters singing it, (it doubles voice-over union scale) and they wanted it to stand on it’s own as a pop song, outside of the movie.
So with those instructions I grabbed my pencil & paper, some kitchen utensiles, and my kids and went into the studio... my kids had a ball... these are real pots and pans your hearing...
I must tip my hat and my heart to my very Italian wife, Lois... She has always been telling me that “Love starts in the kitchen” We’re married 20 years, but I think we can make it work

hey watch it with that spatula buddy... I said frying eggs.. not flying egg
IT LOOKS EASY FROM THE OUTSIDE OR WATCHING FROM THE DINING ROOM
WERE WE HALF-BAKED? ARE WE REFRIED? DID WE BITE OFF MORE THAN WE CAN CHEW?
tell me is this baking soda or flour... oooops... I am soo soo sooorry
IS IT PUDDING? IS IT PATE’? WE ARE GUESSING HERE WE MUST CONFESS
DOES IT SIMMER? SHOULD WE SAUTÉ? WHO IS GOING TO CLEAN THIS MESS?
IF YOU ARE GOING TO MIX IT UP WITH ME, MAY WE TRY THIS PROVEN RECIPE... YA
LOVE STARTS IN THE KITCHEN BE THE GOURMET OF MY LIFE
LOVE STARTS IN THE KITCHEN FIX MY BREAKFAST... BE MY WIFE
LOVE STARTS IN THE KITCHEN WE DON’T HAVE TO BE SO SMART
LOVE STARTS IN THE KITCHEN FILL MY STOMACH. TAKE MY HEART.
Now just because I said “I don’t like it well done” ... doesn’t mean I don’t want it done well!
SUCH EXOTIC SUBTLE FLAVOR... SAUCY... SPICY, I AM HOOKED
MAY I ASK ONE FINAL FAVOR?.. WAKE ME WHEN MY GOOSE IS COOKED
IF YOU ARE GOING TO MIX IT UP WITH ME, MAY WE TRY THIS PROVEN RECIPE... YA
LOVE STARTS IN THE KITCHEN WE DON’T HAVE TO BE SO SMART
LOVE STARTS IN THE KITCHEN FILL MY STOMACH. TAKE MY HEART.
LOVE STARTS IN THE KITCHEN BE THE GOURMET OF MY LIFE
LOVE STARTS IN THE KITCHEN FIX MY BREAKFAST... BE MY WIFE
LOVE STARTS IN THE KITCHEN SEVEN COURSES ALA-K ART
LOVE STARTS IN THE KITCHEN FILL MY STOMACH. TAKE MY HEART. TAKE MY HEART
I would gladly trade you some of my humble pie... for some of those sour grapes of yours
IT LOOKS EASY FROM THE OUTSIDE OR WATCHING FROM THE DINING ROOM
WERE WE HALF-BAKED? ARE WE REFRIED? DID WE BITE OFF MORE THAN WE CAN CHEW?
tell me is this baking soda or flour... oooops... I am soo soo sooorry

You keep amazing me Scott! This one has tons of qualities. Humor,
creativity, great and interesting composition, highly professional
production and you name it. I am trying to avoid being repetitive but I
have to tenbomb you again (sorry).
PS You are a lucky man. The Italian kitchen is the best in the world.
Italian temperament can never become boring or dull! I'm sure you are
worth every inch of it!
