Influences
The Pickleman was heavily influenced by Moxy Fruvous' cover of I've Gotta Get A Message To You, right down to the sample I stole in the middle there, and also They Might Be Giants doing their cover of Yeh Yeh.********************************The Milkman was inspired by Here Comes The Sun by The Beatles, and personally I think it sounds a little like those old labor protest songs...********In general, though, I'd say I'm pretty influenced by Barenaked Ladies, Paul Williams, The Beatles, and whatever else I hear that I really like. I like some weird stuff. I like really interesting sounding harmonies. Things that don't seem like they should work, but sound good to your ear. that's what I would write like, if I could write any differently than I do.
