Music
On March 15, 2011, Heidecker released a music album as part of the duo Heidecker & Wood. The album, Starting From Nowhere, is inspired by 70's soft rock.
In October of the same year he also contributed a parody campaign jingle for Herman Cain's 2012 presidential bid titled "Cain Train". This was the first of nine songs which would eventually become a full album, titled Cainthology: Songs in the Key of Cain. All of the proceeds from the album's sales go to benefit the Violence Intervention Program. The number nine was chosen as the number of songs, and $9.99 the original price, in reference to Herman Cain's 9-9-9 financial plan.
He also released a song called "Titanic" which is a 15 minute long spoof of Bob Dylan's new song on his forthcoming album Tempest set to release on September 11.
In 2013, Heidecker released another Bob Dylan spoof, entitled "Running Out the Clock" and inspired by Dylan's 1983 album Infidels.

Famous quotes containing the word music:
“Orpheus with his lute made trees
And the mountain tops that freeze
Bow themselves when he did sing.
To his music plants and flowers
Ever sprung, as sun and showers
There had made a lasting spring.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
“The sound of tireless voices is the price we pay for the right to hear the music of our own opinions. But there is also, it seems to me, a moment at which democracy must prove its capacity to act. Every man has a right to be heard; but no man has the right to strangle democracy with a single set of vocal chords.”
—Adlai Stevenson (1900–1965)
“If music be the food of love, play on,
Give me excess of it that, surfeiting,
The appetite may sicken and so die.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
