Eugene Sings

Post

Anyone here who has a copy of either of the Eugene sings albums gets a hi five. Just throwin' that out there.

Seriously though, I think the idea was a good one, I just wish it would have caught on better. The songs were super catchy, and it was promoted enough... I'm not sure what happened. Why do you think it didn't end up becoming a bigger thing?

It's a shame they're no longer available for purchase. Such gold nuggets they were.

Yeah... I really wanted one! But whenever we had enough money to get something extra, I wanted an Odyssey. So we never got Eugene Sings...

GIVE ME A COPY NOW!!! I went on Amazon, eBay, FOTF, Christianbooks.com, and everywhere else to find a copy of this album, and the only ones I could find were Used discs for about $125. I listened to a few of the songs on Faio, however, and I find them to be delightful. Almost as good as the M'k Park CD...

I was fortunate enough to purchase both Eugene Sings and Eugene Sings Christmas just before they went out of stock. I have to agree, the songs are really fun and catchy! :D Will Ryan did an excellent job with producing the songs. And it's fun to hear Katie Leigh, Harlow Doyle and Little Quackers the Imaginary Duckling in there too!

*high-fives Aaron Wiley* Woot! :D

I wasn't a fan of Odyssey when they started marketing the Eugene Sings albums, so I don't really know why they weren't a bigger deal for fans. Maybe people just didn't want to spend the extra money for something outside of the regular series of audio dramas?

I'm thinking you're right about people just not being ready to fit the check for something outside their already tight AIO budgets. I think that's also the reason the Truth Chronicles didn't do that great, nor did Darian's Rise.

I think the M'kalister Park album was better than Eugene Sings. A long time ago, I listened to some of the album. It's not my favorite. Will Ryan doesn't thrill me as a singer.

I have a hard copy of the Christmas album, but unfortunately, I had to borrow the first album from the library to be able to get it.

Is there some kind of database for AIO sales? o.O

I own a Eugene Sings hard copy, though I don't have the Christmas one. I enjoy it, and so do my siblings. I didn't know that they didn't sell them anymore until now. I don't really understand why, unless it was because they were kind of silly. But I enjoyed them.

I think that they are fairly good. A little "childish" perhaps, but it is still quite fun to listen to. I often put them on as background music when I'm doing stuff. One of my most favourite songs in the first album is "The Moonlight, a Tuba and You".

Eugene sings. Do you have it/them? Does your Dog Have Fleas, on the North Pole Hit Parade, Missing You, with your Ukulele Tune, on The Only Day of Christmas, while your Yodeling Seasonal Felicitations with your Head Up, Meeting a Girl Named Katrina and wishing her a Merry Christmas, while saying Out with the Old Year, in The Moonlight, with a Tuba, Loving each other, and singing Variations on a Very Short Song, called O-D-Y Double S-E-Y, with the Rose of Antelope Valley, where you vow to Never Sneeze Again, in the Jingle Jangle Jungle.

are still with me? If you got any of that... I'm very happy for you, because you have been able to experience all of this (Well sort of) wonderful odyssey filled fun. Anyway, Eugene sings. What are your thoughts?

I wasn't interested when I was younger in getting a a complete album of Eugene singing (I think I was scared, lol), but I now I wish I could have heard some of the songs. I can't find them anywhere to listen to.

Yes Nelson. A few years ago I too could care less about these albums. But now being the collector I am, (And I'm sure many of you are too) I'd started looking for "Eugene sings" (I already had the Christmas one.) but to no avail. Then just a few weeks ago, I got an awesome gift for my B-day from my mom. ;) yup you guessed it, she found it! :D and I got it just in time to put it on my iPod and listen to it all the way to camp and back! ;) boy did my friends love me... not! Haha well that's how I came to find out that Eugene's dog has flees, missing You, on the first day of... Wait. Let's not do that again. :D
