As much as Oddballs is hand-drawn, this one is an AI extravaganza! Here’s what into it:

  1. I wrote the gag on a piece of paper with some initial sketches
  2. Onto Midjourney where I created the images of the band and the dancing bugs
  3. From there, I imported the images into Canva and used their stock images to create the background, the record (with glow) along with the shine, and the Polaroid frames
  4. I did some graphic design to include the text and coupon
  5. Onto Suno to create the songs; music and lyrics

I fed Suno the title, genre, and specifics of each song. It took several attempts with each title to get a satisfactory song. Perhaps this is a log of work for a feature, but it was so much fun and I learned a lot along the way. And that’s what passion is all about!


Night Fever Hee-Bee-Gee-Bees

[Verse]
Oh the house is shakin’ the night is dread
Tiny critter crawlin’ underneath the bed
Hee-Bee-Gee-Bees spinnin’ in my head
Can’t escape the bug it’s fillin’ me with dread

[Verse 2]
In the kitchen shadows it makes its lair
Creepin’ round the corners it gives a scare
Hee-Bee-Gee-Bees everywhere
Night fever can’t handle the nightmare

[Chorus]
Night fever hee-bee gee-bees
Bug’s got me dancin’ terrified of fleas
Night fever hee-bee gee-bees
Can’t get no sleep with these creepy-crawly dreams

How Deep is Your Cupboard

[Verse] In the kitchen late at night
Searching for that sweet delight
Creeping slowly in the dark
Follow hunger’s little spark

[Verse 2]
Neon lights above me glow
Saucepan drips and butter flow
Tell me what’s behind that door
Crumbs and treats and so much more

[Chorus]
How deep is your cupboard
How full is your shelf
Is there room for a bug like me
Searching for myself

How deep is your cupboard
How deep is your love
I’m a bug beneath the stars
Falling from above

More Than a Vermin

[Verse]
Under the moonlight glow
Creepin’ in the night
I found a love so deep
Insects feelin’ right

[Verse 2]
Got wings and tiny feet
Waltzin’ through the trees
You and me together
Buzzin’ in the breeze

[Chorus]
More than a vermin love
Groovin’ from above
Dance until the dawn
To our disco song

Stayin’ Alive Somehow

[Verse]
Another spray on the floor
But I got to dodge that door
Wings are buzzing
I won’t lose Zigzagging
I got moves

[Bridge]
Every time I see that can
I know I need another plan
Just a bug in this big hive
Gotta jump and jive

[Chorus]
Stayin’ alive somehow
I keep on dancing
Wow!
Stayin’ alive tonight
I’ll dodge that light
Yes I might
