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. - <i>Solatrus:</i> ([Tumblr post](https://thisisthehomestuckmusicteam.tumblr.com/post/27234067507/solatrus-squiddles-in-paradise-well-what-do)) + <i>Solatrus:</i> ([Tumblr](https://thisisthehomestuckmusicteam.tumblr.com/post/27234067507/solatrus-squiddles-in-paradise-well-what-do)) Well, what do you know, my vocal debut? @@ -398,7 +405,7 @@ Commentary: |- <b>Other Thoughts</b> - 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.
