     It's a lovely time in paradise, see the Squiddles smile with glee<br>We should join them in the fun they made for you and me<br>'Cause soon enough we'll have to leave, and depart for shore<br>But we'll be back another day, on the ocean floor!
     Squiddles, Squiddles, Squiddles in paradise<br>Squiddles, Squiddles, let's get tangled up!<br>Squiddles, Squiddles, Squiddles in paradise<br>Squiddles, Squiddles, let's get tangled up!<br>Squiddles, Squiddles, Squiddles in paradise<br>Squiddles, Squiddles, let's get tangled up!<br>Squiddles, Squiddles, Squiddles in paradise<br>Squiddles, Squiddles, let's get tangled up!

     Haha, oh man.
+
     My vocal debut, and what is it? Me mocking the music kids shows. It's an adorable song, though.
+
     Okay, so this one actually has a bit of history, quite a long time before Homestuck. I've been at this music thing for over 9 years after all.
+
     Originally I was interested in writing a sort of uplifting and mellow hip hop song, and the first thing I did was make an organ synth with a swung version of one of the melodies you hear in Squiddles in Paradise. I was actually working with AndrewNeo (him again!) on the song.
+
     Of course, that never panned out, but when I finally felt like I should contribute to the Squiddles album (I was among the last to actually start something) all those years later, I remembered that melody.
+
     And then Alex told me the whole hip hop feel, even though it was pretty relaxing, just wasn't gonna work. So I reworked it into a pretty cheesy and stereotypical reggae song and just stopped caring altogether about how it sounded. I mean, come on, it's a freaking parody album!
+
     Eventually Alex recorded some Squiddle vocals for it because I thought it'd be hilarious, and he sang (badly out of tune on purpose) the chorus. I thought it was brilliant and promptly wrote a full set of lyrics.
+
     TLDR, the chorus to Squiddles in Paradise was actually made up by Alex Rosetti basically on accident, and the song was originally some hip hop song I did over half a decade ago.

     Well, what do you know, my vocal debut?

-    Michael Bowman once mentioned that <i>Squiddles in Paradise</i> is one of the few songs on the album that really balances the act between a legitimate song and a downright silly song. I was pretty flattered when both said this and when he recommended this song (<a href="https://iambowman.tumblr.com/post/13659731094/im-rounding-out-my-homestuck-album-collection-and-im">dead link</a>), among others from the album, to a fan.

     I actually have to agree with Bowman after looking back at it almost two years later. Despite how little effort I feel that I put into this song, it was a really fun and silly song to write... about kid-friendly horrorterrors... in paradise.
