Lucy, Daughter Of The Devil - The Music: Episode 5

lucyheader.gif

lucy-top.jpgCurrently airing Sunday nights at 12:15am EST during the [adult swim] line-up, Lucy, Daughter of the Devil is the story of the Devil, his daughter Lucy, and a DJ named Jesus. It’s also the story of mish-Mexican novelty themed karaoke restaurants operated by the Devil, the street magic airs of DJ Jesus, and a team of clueless priests and a high-strung nun charged with hunting down the Devil’s offspring… the continually put-upon, slightly neurotic, but affable young Antichrist named Lucy.

As an exclusive to Quick Stop Entertainment and a gift to the fans, show creator Loren Bouchard (of Dr. Katz and Home Movies fame) is providing us with the title songs and various music cues from each episode. Unless otherwise noted, all tracks are by Loren Bouchard. We’ll be putting the previous episode’s music up every Friday, just in time for a brand new episode. Download, enjoy, share them with your friends, or make your very own bootleg CD! The possibilities are (mostly) endless.

EPISODE 5: HUMAN SACRIFICE

lucyline2.gif

  • TITLE SONG: Go To Hell (MP3, right-click to download)

loren-01.jpgNOTES FROM LOREN:This week’s opening theme is an incredible cover of Alice Cooper’s ‘Go To Hell’, performed entirely by my friend and collaborator (and amazing musician) John Dylan Keith, who also selected the song. It’s sung by Jon Benjamin.

NOTES FROM LOREN:This piece is called simply ‘Human Sacrifice Theme’ on the official cue sheet, but I’m re-titling it ‘Minions, Worship Me’ for our purposes here. It’s from the middle of the human sacrifice episode, when everyone goes to Bohemian Grove for the sacrifice/presidential campaign announcement. I was trying to reference cheesy 60’s and 70’s Italian horror scores - the arpeggios on piano, the Morricone four note electric guitar line, the mellotron choir sound… In this case, it’s just one phrase repeated over and over again - with instruments joining in as we get closer and closer to Satan addressing the minions. Then, as you know, the whole thing takes an abrupt left turn because Satan thinks this is a great time to bring out a stand up comedian - hence the drum roll at the end.

NOTES FROM LOREN:This track is called ‘Boss Meets Casio’. You might not have noticed it in the human sacrifice episode because it’s ’source music,’ mixed pretty far back - it’s just supposed to be some groovy music that DJ Jesus is listening to when the senator calls him. I like it because it’s the first time two of my favorite electronic instruments from the 80’s got a chance to be together. The keyboard and bass sounds are courtesy of my absolute favorite Casio, the MT-70.

The drums are from the adorable little Boss DR-110, which I got only recently from eBay. I think it sounds nice. And look at those happy little icons on the buttons… that hand clap button looks like a Keith Haring graphic. Make a great t-shirt…

  • SONG 1: Gloria (MP3, right-click to download)

NOTES FROM LOREN:And finally, I present our silly cover of ‘Gloria’, which is featured at the end of the episode – DJ Jesus puts it on and all the satanic minions/political big wigs go crazy dancing to it (and the Special Fathers and the Special Sister and Lucy, too). Then, over end credits, as the song plays, we pull out from Bohemian Grove to northern California, then to the world, then the galaxy, and then the universe. All of which is meant to imply that DJ Jesus has created some cosmic effect by playing this song in this place on this night. I programmed most of the music on my old Korg EM-1. It’s good for dance beats, synth bass, etc. Then I asked John Keith to play the percussion parts. He’s really good. All those fills are him. That’s me singing. This version is mercifully chopped off at about 2 minutes.

EPISODE 4: TERRY THE TERATOMA

lucyline2.gif

loren-01.jpgNOTES FROM LOREN:Here’s our version of ‘Friend of the Devil’, with me on uke and Jon Benjamin on vocals (high and low). Next is a silly music cue from this week’s episode, wherein Terry the Teratoma and Becky the devil’s advocate lock eyes and something stirs in both of them. I call the cue ‘Indie Movie Music’. It’s supposed to feel like a heavy handed Wes Anderson moment, or something.

NOTES FROM LOREN:This next one is pretty. Little ukulele, bass, vibes, and drum thing with effects - from the ‘Lacy’ part of the story.

  • CUE 02: Lacy (MP3, right-click to download)

NOTES FROM LOREN:I kind of hate to include this last track, but I will anyway. It fits nicely in under the middle part of the episode, but hearing it by itself, all of my timing errors are revealed - and they’re worse than usual. There are some really spazzy moments. I don’t know why I didn’t solo the track and stop and just clean that shit up. But I didn’t. And I’m too lazy to do it now, so here it is. It’s called ‘Teratoma Noir’.

NOTES FROM LOREN:I’m also sad to say that - aside from the uke - this episode featured way too many midi controlled, sample-based instruments, so I don’t have a quirky, eBay-bought instrument to show off/admit to this week. Not one from the episode soundtrack, anyway. Instead, I’ll include this painting, which I found on the street. It now hangs here in the studio and inspires all of us, I hope.

EPISODE 3: TEMPTASIA

lucyline2.gif

loren-01.jpgNOTES FROM LOREN:This is a picture of my keilani uke. It can be heard in ‘Temptasia’ and throughout the season. This one has a soprano body with a concert neck - also known as a super soprano. It’s my third ukulele. I got my first one at a flea market. Second one as a present from my wife. This one from eBay. I really want to get good at ukulele. It’s a truly great instrument - fits my hands much better than a guitar, and it sounds great on TV.

Also heard in this episode: tremolo! Tremolo is the coolest effect in the world. It makes me feel funny inside.

EPISODE 1: ESCAPEOKE

loren-01.jpgNOTES FROM LOREN:Here’s some more horror-esqe cues from ‘Escapeoke’. The most interesting thing about these stings is that I’m bowing a Chiquita Travel Guitar that I got from eBay with a cello bow I also got from eBay.
