Last one was called eyes. Probably because it sounds kind of paranoid with tremolo and tension building etc... Like the tune is being watched or something.
Do you say zerbaman? Or do you say zebraman?

I love puns- The Porpoise-Driven Life, Nature Abhors a Raccoon, that kinda thing, not all animals though... not tremendously clever, but mildly entertaining. Or little odd phrases from books that catch my attention, like "Mirror-Hand and -Wrist" (from The Talisman)... only one that comes to mind at the moment, but you can dig it. Most of the time though, it's just whatever pops into my head the first time I save the project or whatever's going on around or in me at the time, which may or may not change down the line before the final product is complete.

I think I actually put more effort into naming my threads and poll options than I do with my tunes.

Something strange going on here tho, started this thread, made all of the poll options and now its 7 pages and doesn't feature me until halfway through :corntard:

another way i name tunes is by thinking for a couple seconds of nothing then something usually pops up after a few seconds
