A mash up of the weeknd’s star boy and the untitled goose game

two weeks pass...

a band that insists they make humorous parodies of popular songs "like weird al", but all of the parodies are straight covers with lyrics clumsily adjusted with "the song" or "the singer", e.g. the first verse of their parody of 'Helpless' would go something like:

There is a song about a town in North Ontario
With dream, comfort, memory to spare
And in the singer's mind, he still needs a place to go
All his changes were there

the singer would be cracking himself up the whole time, acting as if the lyrics were just the goofiest shit ever. maybe they cover an instrumental song in a different key and laugh themselves to death at the end.

as in:

There is a song in New Orleans
They call the Rising Sun
And it's been the ruin of many a singer boy
And God, I know I'm one

Wait, like he's just singing along and then stares pointedly at the audience as the music drops out for half a second and drops 'THE SINGER' in a real stilted way and then returns to performing the song as straight as he can while doubling over with self-satisfied laughter? It's like you have a spy cam in my house or something, so eerie.

yeah and would be clumsier in rushing to add words so "There is a song about a house in New Orleans" where "thereisasongabouta" would be sung very quickly in the usual span of "there is a"

lol, yeah was gonna say, my small handful of YT videos mostly exist to annoy any random googler who accidentally happens upon them. Seems like what the service is there for, pretty much.

Triumph of the Willa Cather (Ye Mad Puffin), Saturday, 8 May 2021 22:49 (two years ago) link

a murder mystery novel about a professional-chef-turned-murder-mystery-novelist that gets wrapped up in an actual murder. Excerpts from the chef-novelist's work show that he uses only detailed food or cooking imagery to describe the gruesome crime scenes. gradually, the author of the encapsulating novel begins to do the same with details of the real murder. like the smoke from a chile de arbol roasting in the pan, it hits you -- you're reading my memoir.

The singer thinks you're so vain
The singer thinks you probably think this song is about you

is that the idea? xp

longtime caller, first time listener (man alive), Thursday, 13 May 2021 19:40 (two years ago) link

precisely! everyone will recall that song and how the singer thought they are so vain -- hilarious!

"Wow, that's amazing. Where did you learn to do that?"
"I was born here in the United States, as were both of my parents. In addition, I have lived here my entire life and studied English throughout school and in college. Further, I majored in English literature in college."
"Whoa! Your English is so good!"

a reactions channel on YouTube but it's just people reacting to dull, generic stock photos of everyday household items. I would keep the camera on them until they said something interesting, even if it took hours, and post the videos unedited except for some tinkly ukulele music on a loop.

I would only hire tired middle-aged people without any skill in public speaking, and film them after a long day at work.

I had a dream last night about a new product and I'm unsure whether it belongs itt or if I should go on Shark Tank ASAP. It's the Toupiary, which is basically a combination of a bald cap and a Chia Pet, for the follocularly-challenged. Let the bidding begin.

Jerome Percival Jesus (Old Lunch), Friday, 28 May 2021 16:09 (two years ago) link

the toupiary allows you not be bald anymore while snacking on delicious alfalfa sprouts all day. you could say the toupiary is a twofer!

Still, mad props to my unconscious brain for coming up with the phrase 'Toupiary'

A crossover of Black Panthers (Varda, 1968) with Black Panther (Coogler, 2018). I'm spending precious mental energy trying to figure the intersection point.

A zombie movie where:

a) instead of a zombie infection transmitted by a bite it's brainworms transmitted by a Facebook post, and
b) instead of turning into actual zombies people turn into conspiracy-spewing boomers

I don't actually know if this is terrible or if it's the best idea I've ever had.

An American Girl-style doll for guitar dads, where the accessories are all scale models of famous guitars, amps, and pedals. Maybe you can't shell out thousands for that 1964 Gibson ES-335, but you can get little Ricky one for only $100!

a buttplug that shines a holographic black bar in front of your genitalia and bare butt so that if you're changing in public or anything, nobody can see anything.

also so that ify ou're in a strip club, you can charge someone more money to remove the black bars.
