Somebody Needed to Make These Songs

***Somebody Needed to Make These Songs*** is a 2014 album by Papa Razzi and the Photogs.

This is the 23rd album released by Papa Razzi, with a release date of January 14, 2016, though it took about 10 days to appear on streaming services.[1] This was just over two months after Papa Razzi's prior album *You Will Possibly Enjoy These Songs*.

The album has 97 tracks and a runtime of 2 hours and 16 minutes. The album cover is a selfie of Matt Farley, who appears to be standing in the basement of his house.

A large amount of this album is songs about historical figures, including many Greeks and Romans. The most popular song on the album has become "Charles Darwin: Good Scientist Guy!" which Farley has performed at many of his live shows.

A few songs (typical of this era of Papa Razzi Songs) are songs about listeners who contacted Farley, such as "This Song Is About Teagan from California, She Is Cool." and "Maya, Josie, Veronica, and Meg." The 2nd to last song on the album "I'm Sorry I Beat You in Rec Softball" came from a twitter request[2], and was put on this album since Farley didn't plan another album for The Sorry Apology Song Person.[3]

The last track, "The Keenan Song", is a name song using The Guy Who Sings Your Name Over and Over song.
