I've had lyrics to a song in my head for about 13 years now and I cannot for the life of me find this song anywhere. It's a really weird one by a band named Gregory's Funhouse or a band with previous members of GF. I believe the song's name is Burn Victim but I'm not sure. The lyrics I remember are "I'm a burn victim, my skin stinks, the way I look is really bad." (like I said, it's a weird ass song) I first heard it in 2007/2008 when a friend of mine showed it to me at lunch time in high school. I distinctly remember him asking me, "have you ever heard of the band Gregory's Funhouse?" So I'm almost certain this song is from them because he showed it to me right after asking. He said his uncle was either in the band or worked on recording the album for the band but I can't remember. I've since tried contacting him to see if he could give me more info on the song but no response. He transferred schools in 2009 and I haven't heard from him since. I've also posted this on Reddit in 3 different lost media subreddits and got nowhere. So I'm posting it here in hopes that someone who knows wtf I'm talking about will recognize it and let me know how to find it. I've spent so long hunting it down so any info would be much appreciated! It's frustrating because the one person who knows exactly what I'm talking about and could end this decade long mystery won't respond to my messages 😩
(I'll update this part periodically when I find new clues)Â
Clues I've found: The band was based on NYC (I believe Brooklyn or Manhattan specifically) and was led by Gregory Ambrose Pittman. It was his Funhouse.Â
I found a CD on Ebay with 4 songs on it with 2 songs that I also can't find anywhere called "Name" and "Corruption" and they were recorded in Dover, NJ at Showplace Studios. There's no date on the back of this CD unfortunately and the email on the back is a dead AOL email. I emailed it and got an error message back. The fact it had an email leads me to believe it was recorded in the late 90s to 2000s, around the time I believe this mystery album was recorded.Â
There's a segment on a very old TV show called Manhattan Cable that has a short segment featuring the band and this is how the vocals in the specific song I'm looking for sound like (https://youtu.be/ywhmOURCPBM?si=jsfk3g9lDhIjnHxX)Â
The only other song I remember anything about from the album I'm looking for had a weird song about Bigfoot.Â

Well I'm not sure if you've found this already but here's a pic of Gregory on some studio's website he must've been associated with:

The site lists this contact info, maybe give it a show to see how to reach him:

Do you ever use the wayback machine on archive .org? You'd be amazed the info you can recover from old versions of websites.

Oh yeah I have. I tried a few sites for around that time and no luck. I could mess around with it again for other times and see if anything comes up as well. I was using it for around 2007 because that's when I believe the album came out. But I could be wrong about that.
