we need more information.
1. are you in a band?
2. do you sing the song?
3. did you provide the lyrics?
4. what kind of clothing allowance did you get?
5. WHAT IS THE NAME OF THE SONG?
Tell me you at least got to meet Jaime Pressly, Ken.
Congrats, though, that’s nifty.
U rite songs, Kin?
Here’s the story of a lovely hockey mom,
Who was bringing up a shitload of very lovely girls.
All of them had hair of gold, like their mailman,
The youngest one in curls.
Here’s the story, of a man named Maverick,
Who was busy with three wives of his own.
They were four mavericks, living all together,
Yet they were all alone.
Till the one day when the lady met this fellow,
And they knew that it was much more than a hunch.
That this group would somehow form a family.
That’s the way we all became the Wonkette Bunch.
The Wonkette Bunch, The Wonkette Bunch.
That’s the way we became the Wonkette Bunch.
Congrats! But I, too, am puzzled. You write songs? You work for “My Name is Earl?” So all this time, you’ve been slumming?
Layne, when we said “get a life”, we didn’t necessarily mean it!
Tra: I think Ken Layne is just a cover. I believe our real editor is Barry Manilow.
Oh, Mandy.
hockeymom: And 6. Why isn’t it on youtube?
For this to happen you either blew someone or became a scientologist. Which is it?
Use the interweb fucknuts:

bitchincamaro: Don’t worry. It’s “My Name is Earl” - he’s not.
spencer:
I just listened.
Good road music…love it.
spencer: Ew, Ken has a myspace? That’s more info than I ever wanted.
spencer: That cuts deep, man.
I’ve got my money on Happy MacKaye. It has an Earl feel to it.
Ken Layne? Shouldn’t that be Mr. Top 40?
Hope you’re not a creepy Scientologist, like everyone else associated with that show. YIKES.
Ah, a man of many talents, it seems….. you will be getting royalties, yes?
Haha Ken, now your friendspace is gonna fill up with wonktards!
OMG ur on teh Myspace?! Thx for the add!!!
Hmmm. MySpace. I’ll just let Shorts do the heavy lifting for me. He totally trolls that site for, like, HOT ALASKA GOVERNORZ.
This is like finding out that Michelle Bachman also is a blacklisted 50s Hollywood screenwriter.
Also, Ken and the Corvids are less viscerally angry than I hoped.
alt-country + snark = the best!
send us some “free samples” mr. independent label
We might get you on the charts.
spencer: I have to use a proxy to view that, but man it is worth it.
BTW, this is totally for Ken, because this happened while Googling.
spencer: a mix of the two.. he blew a Scientologist
Oh fuck!
You’re gonna sing FREEBIRD!?!?!
Crap. Now I gotta watch/TiVo that lame ass sitcom.
I wouldn’t do this for just ANYBODY, Ken.
Be sure to remember this the next time you pull out the ban hammer.
Break a leg!
Kenny L takes on Barry Manilow:
“I write the snark the Wonktards read,
I write snark of Todd and Palin’s Special needs
I write snark that makes young Piper cry
I write the snark, I write the snark”
neat beard.
Deepthroat: Not just neat; it is also environmentally friendly and provides a habitat for box tortoises and several species of migratory birds.
Yes, but playing with the corvids is nothing to crow about. Ha! Okay, that was bad . . .
So that’s your game, eh? Trying to become a famous minstrel like Bono, so you can get a gig at the NYT’s. Very cunning, indeed.
nice job. How much money did you have to donate to Scientology to get your music on “My Name is Earl”?
ken layne = howe gelb? kinda?
Sire Says: Agreed. Congrats, avoid the Celebrity Centers, and all that rot.
Was that you on the zither? Cause, that really rocked. Seriously, congratulations. I’ve been playing music in just about every form you can imagine for many years and it’s almost always cool when you hear your own stuff getting played in some commercial format. Be shameless. Crab Shack. Ha!
Why didn’t you tell us this before I kept the dial on Keith O.
Oh, you did. I was the one who didn’t bother reading America’s next finest news source.
Are you in the highlights? I don’t watch much reg. tv–My Name is Scientologist show? If that’s the case, it looks a lot more fun than being a United Methodist. (Moi–don’t tell any other UMs I read wonkette and use obscenities.)
Oh, well, fuck.
Guess I can’t erase the DVR just yet.
Good stuff ken! You are quite the talent. Hope to see you wandering in the middle of the desert sometime. I’ll make sure to always have wine
Thanks buddies. Hmm I guess I did not turn on the show at the right time, or was not listening? Maybe it was there. I’ll look on the Internets tomorrow. Anyway, the alleged song was the second song from this record. I do this stuff now & then for art/fun, and the songs show up in various places, mostly indie movies I never see, or pilots for teevee shows that never air. I know nothing about this particular teevee show other than I heard a bit of “Under My Thumb” as background music, at one point.
Ken Layne:
Sorry, I was watching my college team lose. Sigh.
Don’t watch regular tv. Try to get on Daily Show or Colbert!
Hope you don’t get swamped on your myspace scene. — BTW, I listened to your tunes. Nice. Good luck and all that.
Unfortunately, BTDT, and surprise! The 1 in a million bet is true. But, you can get more adverts than when we were
there, so….
Word to the wise: Keep the Day Job is good advice.
Well … you got your 15 or maybe 10 seconds of musical fame
We could barely tell it was your (you & the Corvids) Fought Down.
What? What are you talking about?
Hey Ken, now that I’ve had a chance to actually listen to yer music via teh my spaces, I hereby give you my official Sezme Most Definitely Listenable® seal of approval.
