Owen Pallett
Michael James Owen Pallett (born September 7, 1979) is a Canadian composer, violinist, keyboardist, and vocalist, who performs solo as Owen Pallett or, before 2010, under the name Final Fantasy. As Final Fantasy, he won the 2006 Polaris Music Prize for the album He Poos Clouds.
From the age of 3, Pallett studied classical violin, and composed his first piece at age 13. A notable early composition includes some of the music for the game Traffic Department 2192; he moved on to scoring films, to composing two operas while in university. Apart from the indie music scene, he has had commissions from the Barbican, Toronto Symphony Orchestra, National Ballet of Canada, Bang on a Can, Ecstatic Music Festival, the Vancouver CBC Orchestra, and Fine Young Classicals.
On his Final Fantasy releases, Pallett has collaborated with Leon Taheny, who is credited as drummer and engineer. Following the release of Heartland, Pallett has toured with guitarist/percussionist Thomas Gill and more recently with his former collaborators in Les Mouches, Rob Gordon and Matt Smith.

Scandal At The Parkade
by: Owen PallettYour equations, your essays,
Never hid an illogic mind,
Aim for that heart, aim for it-
We will leave the logic behind,
You'll travel far, you'll travel-
Boy, you'll see the end of Bahati
You'll see them fall; you'll see them pay,
You'll be the end of Yoweri
[Dude. Pick up.]
They're getting soft, they're getting old,
you'll see the end of Johnny
Don't make a story! Make a hit!
You'll see the fall of Golding
Cos' all that they know is cottages, cottages,
Button them down, button them down,
Once they got in to cottages, cottages,
Button them down, button them down,
Now that they got-Attack! Attack! Attack! Attack! Attack! We're gonna' button them down!
Cos' all that they know is cottages; button them down.
[Dude. Pick up.]
All that they know is cottages, cottages,
Button them down, button them down,
Once they got in to cottages, cottages,
Button them down, button them down,
Now that they got-Attack! Attack! Attack! Attack! Attack! We're gonna' button them down!
