Shameless Plug: Full Circle's Pinked Up Songs

A couple of months ago here on the Epistle, I posted about my experience of going down to the recording studio and singing some backup lyrics for a CD that my brothers Ben and Steve and their friend Jeff were working on. That CD has finally been released and is now available for purchase.

The primary target audience for this recording is Mary Kay (as in the makeup) sellers and distributors. It's a long story as to how this idea came to its fruition, but suffice me to say that Ben, Steve, and Jeff will be doing a lot of networking and will be attending various Mary Kay conventions and such in an attempt to market their CD.

Just this afternoon, I was handed a copy of Full Circle's Pinked Up Songs, fresh off the press. I may be somewhat biased, but it's an awesome CD.

Tracks include parodies of several popular tunes, including: "M.K. Basic Skin Care Set" (Metro Station's "Shake It"), "3 Is a Magic Number" (Jack Johnson's "The 3 R's"), "Eye Revitalizer" ("Survivor's "Eye of the Tiger"), "C-U-P-C-A-K-E: Seven Sweet Reasons to Sell Mary Kay" (Nat King Cole's "L-O-V-E"), "Just Have to Stay On Track" (Michael Bublé's "Just Haven't Met You Yet"), "Mary Kay Man" (ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man"), "Pink Cadillac" (Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline"), and "The Bee Is the Key" (the Trashmen's "Surfin' Bird").

Yours truly - ahem! - sings backup on "M.K. Basic Skin Care Set" and "Pink Cadillac," along with a handful of others.

In addition, the guys cover four other well-know hits: Ryan Shupe and the Rubber Band's "Dream Big," Man of La Mancha's "The Impossible Dream," Jekyll & Hyde's "This Is the Moment," and Miley Cyrus's "The Climb."

To obtain a copy of Pinked Up Songs at the very affordable price of only $15, you may simply contact Ben, Steve, or Jeff personally. You can also find more information about the group and hear song snippets by visiting the Full Circle Web site at: http://bringitfullcircle.com/.
