In order to raise money for Moxie Starpark’s second album, I offered a reward to custom write personal theme songs for donors, and a few people took me up on it! I spent the month of August writing, playing & producing Scotty Knows. This fascinating request was for a “sequel song” to Lustra’s “Scotty Doesn’t Know” which was featured in the movie Euro Trip. I’d never seen the movie nor heard the song, so I was a bit nervous. But after ingesting the film, the opportunity to put a female perspective on dude problems thrilled me. I wrote, performed and recorded this sequel song in my home studio over the course of the month of August. To illustrate the lyrics, I strung together some random videos taken this summer, mostly at the beach and Fire Island walkway, with a little Urban Tumbleweed (plastic bag in wind) thrown in.
