The video for the PapaGanders’ new release, “Alexa, Buy This Song” is now available on YouTube, and the song can be purchased as a digital download from iTunes or Google Play. However, neither you nor Alexa can buy this song from the Amazon store. Why not? If you have an Alexa-equipped device from Amazon, turn up the volume and play this song, and you’ll find out why. (Hint: Alexa might just try.) And as much as we’d love to sell you our songs this way (or ANY way, for that matter), that just wouldn’t be right.

All of our songs can be streamed via Spotify, xBox Live, iHeartRadio, Jango, and other major providers. MOST of them can also be bought from Amazon!

We thought about writing an essay on the subject of how you don’t have to be a Tea Party member or sympathizer — in fact you could be the farthest in the world from it, and still embrace the truly patriotic and historically “Americana” sentiments that they would quote. That the difference is in the application of those sentiments, and our interpretation of their intent in the context of today’s world.

But nah, it’s just a song. If we accidentally created an anthem, so be it. That would be cool. On these matters, it’s better to sing a song than to shout.

See and hear “Don’t Tread on Me” now on YouTube, or support us by purchasing it as a digital download from iTunes, Amazon or Google Play. Our songs can also be streamed via Spotify, xBox Live, iHeartRadio, Jango, and other major providers.

Our Ode to Brexit, called “F.U. to the E.U.” is now available from major digital music providers.

“F.U. to the E.U.” can be purchased as a digital download from iTunes or Amazon; streamed via Spotify, xBox Live, iHeartRadio or Jango; and either purchased or streamed via Google Play, among other major providers.

And of course, we mean “Francis Urquhart”.

We did this last week with McCain from 2008, so here is the other side of the coin. Our fangirl’s tribute to Barry O.:

Republicans, feeling nostalgic?

We can get so caught up in the current political insanity that we almost forget – political insanity is nothing new. So with that in mind, here’s another blast from 2008… our ditty about the esteemed former Veep:

This one is for confirmed nerds.

Well… the choices are narrowing. (Although, even when there were many more candidates, did we REALLY have so many good choices? Quantity = Quality? It didn’t seem so.)

But here we are, and to quote our song “Electile Dysfunction”:

“The better of two choices is the choice I want to make.
The lesser of two evils is just choosing which mistake.”

Good luck to us all.

Since 2008 and until today, our address www.thePapaGanders.com has redirected to our mySpace page.  Does that date us, or what?  But, for as long as it’s still there, here’s the link to that page:  https://myspace.com/thePapaGanders

Well, that’s ugly. We promise, it used to look better.

For any of you who have ever setup a website with WordPress, you’ll know that the first post automatically created is called “Hello world!”.  Well, that seems like a very appropriate title for this re-launch of www.thePapaGanders.com, with everything which goes with that.  So hello, welcome, we’re glad you found us, and we hope you enjoy your time here.  Stay tuned – there’s much more to come!
