Songs and albums by The Bicycling Guitarist
I have written dozens more original songs than those listed here and can also play dozens more cover tunes (songs written by other people). I began writing songs about chatters and chat rooms of an internet chat site in 2019. Each season I pick a room to hang out in and write songs about. 2022 saw the creation of some of my best and most fun songs. 2024 saw more songs including strong political statements against Donald Trump. 2025 was the most productive period of my life to date. I practically doubled decades of creative output in a few months.
New Songs in 2026
Empress Fiona saga
The Empress Fiona saga is a documented myth—not an invention, but an observation of the social architecture within a feline court. Empress Fiona rules with Royal Advisor Witchy Poo and Warrior Princess Lily at her side. Volume I introduces the characters and their vessels; Volume II follows their adventures. Volume III shows the court continues after the departure of Little Cat. Volume IV shows the remaining cats and how they interact. Here is a link to a documentary about Volumes I and II of the Empress Fiona saga, the Little Cat story.
Empress Fiona saga – Volume I – Introductions
About this album (Click to expand)
This collection of songs documents the emergence of a myth from the lived social order of the court. As an adult, the former Princess Fiona is now Empress. At her side are her Royal Advisor Witchy Poo and Warrior Princess Lily who is Fiona's sister. Empress Fiona has Her Fiona Ship as a flying saucer / submarine. Warrior Princess Lily throws a toy stuffed mouse as her “Mausram” weapon.
Empress Fiona saga – Volume II – Adventures
About this album (Click to expand)
In Volume I of the Empress Fiona saga we learned of the characters, their relationships, and what equipment they use. Volume II has some of their adventures. Here, adventures are what governance looks like when nothing is demanded. The Empress Fiona saga is a documented myth—not an invention, but an observation of the social architecture within a feline court where Empress Fiona rules.
Empress Fiona saga – Volume III – The Court Continues
About this album (Click to expand)
Little Cat is gone. Empress Fiona, Warrior Princess Lily and Royal Advisor Witchy Poo are still here though. Their adventures continue.

About this album (Click to expand)
Among other things, this album shows the cats of the Royal Court playing with and fighting over cat toys.
Science Songs
About this album (Click to expand)
Mostly songs about quantum physics, General Relativity, black holes, and stuff like that. This has been an interest of mine for many years. This album is a work in progress. It is not complete yet. The first four songs are from 2025. I plan to make more songs about science in 2026 to add to it.
The Turd Reich
About this album (Click to expand)
This is my third album of songs about the orange POS traitor-in-chief Donald Trump who has yet to be held accountable for multiple crimes against the Constitution. 2024 saw the MAGA traitor scum album, and 2025 the Trump OR America album. This year's album points out the similarities of Trump's evil fascist regime to Nazi Germany.

Some songs created 2022-2025
Her Floofiness Fiona
About this album (Click to expand)
Originally Princess, now Empress Fiona is three years old (as of 2025) and has incredibly soft and very floofy fur, partly from her habit of being squirted by a water bottle at her request so she can better groom herself. MANY more songs about Fiona are in the “Empress Fiona saga” albums which have a fantasy / science-fiction plot (for example, Fiona has a flying saucer in that story line).
Long Legs Lily
About this album (Click to expand)
Songs about Lily cat, sister of Empress Fiona. Lily has many nicknames such as Long Legs Lily, Red-Nose Lily, Green-Eyed Lily. The songs in this album are not about her role as Warrior Princess Lily in the Empress Fiona saga.
The Little Cat That Could
About this album (Click to expand)
Little Cat came to my door as a kitten after her mother was run over by a car. I have given and received many cuddles with this cat. She is from the same mother as Fiona and Lily but a later litter.

Queen Witchy Poo
About this album (Click to expand)
Witchy Poo is the senior kitty of the house, also the biggest. She has a fluffy black tail, talks a lot, and is very sweet. She was the only cat in the house who Little Cat was not afraid of when Little Cat joined us.
Other people's cats
About this album (Click to expand)
These are not my cats, but some I write songs about with details and photos provided by their humans. Henry of Sweetwater is the subject of five of these ten songs.
MAGA traitor scum
About this album (Click to expand)
The greatest threat to USA in its history comes from a former POTUS sore-loser wannabe-king and his base of racist fascist assholes.
Trump OR America
About this album (Click to expand)
RFK Jr. is a science-denying conspiracy nut and his ideas will cause great harm to the human race as will Trump's and anyone stupid or evil enough to support the orange POS traitor.
If rule of law with nobody above it were real the traitor-in-chief convicted felon Trump would at the very least be in court right now for crimes he committed against the Constitution and the American people the LAST time he was in office. Sheesh! A people gets the government they deserve. God help us.
2025 Mingle Room
About this album (Click to expand)
This is a chat site room with great fun people in it. Tangled is the star of the first two songs of the playlist. The Terrified Fridge is inspired by The Brave Little Toaster who makes a cameo in that video.
Assorted Bicycle Guitar songs
An exorcise bike cannot be repossessed
For several years The Bicycling Guitarist picked a different room each season from an internet chat site and made an album of songs about the chatters of that season's room. The title of this Creative Work Series of albums (four albums plus bonus tracks) comes from lyrics in the song Repoman from the Spring 2020 album.
Spring 2019 - Philosophy Chat
About this album (Click to expand)
Short songs each about a different member of a philosophy chat room. I improvised these songs on stage during the month of June 2019. In some cases the people written about contributed content to personalize it.
Spring 2020 - Elektra's room
About this album (Click to expand)
Songs about a different room of the Wireclub chat site. Repoman song has lyrics that suggested the title of the Creative Work Series these Wireclub chat albums are part of: “An exorcise bike cannot be repossessed.”
Fall 2020 - Tara's room
About this album (Click to expand)
Another chat room this season, another album of songs about it. Mewmew Meow shows how The Bicycling Guitarist takes suggestions for lyrics and turns them into a song. We've Got Today has some unexpectedly deep and positive lyrics considering it was improvised on stage.
Spring 2022 - The Wasteland
About this album (Click to expand)
Another room on the Wireclub internet chat site. Even though I didn't play guitar much in 2021 for health reasons, these songs are among my best ever. Several songs involve input or inspiration from other chatters.
Bonus Tracks
