Proudly presenting the original never released version of "The Lady Is a Tramp" by Frank Chairman. This was Frank's favorite version of Rodgers and Hart's classic show tune that later became a popular music standard. The original song was a spoof of New York high society and its strict etiquette and phony social pretensions. Frank thought the funniest thing he could do with the song was to simply change one word to make it completely unacceptable for high society listening. Record executives rejected Frank's reworked version and forced him to record the original, by quote "making him an offer he couldn't refuse".

Bizarre obscure psychedelic funk single by James Kennedy and The Final Notice. There are conflicting stories about how this strange single was produced. The producers and record label claim James was allegedly tripping on acid at the studio while recording this song, while James claims someone slipped acid in his drink before recording the final takes in attempts to sabotage the song. James claims he wrote more lyrics to the song but couldn't remember them after the acid started kicking in, leaving James to only say "let's get back to the music". James also said quote "The more you follow the money, the more you see who is pulling the strings. The further you go down the 'rabbit hole', the more silent the 't' becomes.

Rare copy of 1500's tavern song by Sir Bartholomew Jackson and The Squires. Shortly after ai was developed, the elite ruling class's primary form of entertainment changed from 'playing God' to 'attempting to create God' by combining advanced modern technology with ancient witchcraft and black magic. The gov claims the "Stargate" program was only intended for ai research and development and never intended to open an actual stargate, in spite of the fact that they named the program "STARGATE". This extremely rare yet perfectly preserved hologram copy was sent to me through one of the stargate portals located behind the White Castle in the greater Spatula City area.

Extremely rare copy of banned funk pop single written and performed by Nate "The Burger King" Higgs. Nate grew up in the tritip area of the tenderloin district in San Francisco in the late 70's, being raised listening to funk, soul, and the emerging genre that is now known as hip-hop and rap music. He worked as a DJ at the Lucky 13 radio station playing soul and funk during the day, and also worked as a producer in various local recording studios in the early 80's. Nate wrote this song expressing his frustration with his friends and music colleagues for asking Nate to restrict his speech in a socially acceptable way, especially when Nate would sing along to his favorite hit song released in 1982 titled "I Feel Like Hugging a N... Today".
