The new somewhat accomplished band The Offspring were hired to
do covers in Live performances. It began during their second album "Ignition". My voice as I sang along with instrumental music was used beginning with the second album Ignition and also in the "Ixnay On The Hombray" album. I am certain my "Car Sessions" were used in four albums up to the "Americana" album which has the hit "Pretty Fly For A White Guy" as I recorded that song using a Creative Sound Blaster in 1996. I dubbed rock sounding music from my television that was hooked up to my audio system. I used the sound bite "Unter Gleeben Glautem Globen" that I got from the beginning of Def Leppard's song "Rock of Ages" so both songs start with the same exact words. I copied Pretty Fly from my computer onto a cassette tape.
I was arrested in Boston , MA for Possession of Firearms without a license in 1996 and the FBI searched my apartment and that is likely when they found the Pretty Fly recording.
How much further than the Americana album and Pretty Fly that my voice was used I am having trouble determining as the lead singer Dexter Holland's voice is very similar to mine. They have not used my voice or my car sessions for new recordings for some time now. But those car sessions and Pretty Fly are what brought them to fame and still get the bulk of the radio play.
This is a Recording I made In 2007 in Seattle, WA titled OnDownTown by me Penzant. It has not been stolen or lost yet. I have failed to make any recordings since that I have been satisfied with enough to publish. If I were to win a law suit to recover damages as compensation for making Pretty Fly and other recordings I will hire bands and build a music studio to remake OnDownTown and do more recordings.
