Skimming over the One Week lyrics (it's been a while), it seems like it just might be doable. Be hard to find some of that stuff, but the chorus shouldn't be too hard.

My main concern, though, is that the lyrics move too quickly. I can't understand them at that speed. Captions would just be a blur. And, most importantly... any video that tries to keep up with them would be a hazard to epileptics.

Perhaps you could just include the lyrics in your post when you post the vid?

Yeah, that was the main reason I mentioned it. I should have clarified. The chorus would be doable, but I can barely even understand the rest!

On the crazy side:

"Istanbul (Not Constantinople)", by They Might Be Giants.

Or even better:

"Alphabet of Nations", also by They Might Be Giants.

I'd like to see someone try the 'Lumberjack Song' by Monty Python. laugh

That'd be a difficult one to do...

How about Travelin' Soldier by The Dixie Chicks? I've thought that one over in bed last night, and couldn't figure it out. Any takers, perhaps?

lol, Lumberjack. Funny. I was just thinking of that song as I was falling asleep last night. For no reason I could figure. Scary, that.

As for TMBG... Hmm... Didn't work so well for me last time , but Istanbul... I've got a thought. Just don't know if there are enough clips to make it work...

I just might take a crack at it, though. Could be fun... laugh

I think that a lot of songs of Lisa Chappell would be hard.

Quote
Or a song with a person's name -- which isn't anyone on the show...
So how about: 'Carrie Anne' or 'Sorry Suzanne' from the Hollies.

Couldn't you have come up with that one in say June? <g> At least, if we're thinking along the same lines here. laugh I'd love to see this one, anyway!

Since someone mentioned Weird Al, I have one that is just plain impossible. Amish Paradise. Can anyone even find a scene that looks Amish in the show?

I know one that might be possible, but would certainly be difficult, and hilarious if anyone tried it. I Am Cow by Arrogant Worms. Somebody did a vid for the Happy Happy Birthday Song, another one of their songs. Or what about A Man Has Needs, another great one.


I think, therefore, I get bananas.

When in doubt, think about time travel conundrums. You'll confuse yourself so you can forget what you were in doubt about.

What's the difference between ignorance, apathy, and ambivalence?

Yeah, I think that most of Weird Al's stuff would be impossible. Like Albuquerque(10+minutes eek )

I also think that most Christian/religious songs would not work as well. For one, it would be irreverent (heck even Weird Al doesn't touch them), and two, most of them are God/Jesus centered, which, trying to come up with something to go with that would be just tacky.

However, Steven Curtis Chapman's, "I Will Be Here" , is a love song and that would be perfect for LnC, but I digress from the mood of the the thread.

Ray Steven songs would also be difficult. "Mississippi Squirrel" comes to mind, or worse yet, "The Streak"!

And of course, Humpback Whale 'songs' would also be impossible...

You don't have to take it literally. Just find things that are, perhaps, simple and old-fashioned. Like Clark's manners.

Besides, you've got the Kent farm, which is more modern than you might expect, but is still fairly pastoral.

Or you could do the whole thing sarcastically, filled with the weirdest sci-fi stuff in the show. Lasers instead of butter churns, etc.

One I thought of that probably can be done, but would be hilarious all the same, I Like to Move It Move It from Madagascar.

Edit: I'm going to put this in a new thread.

Well, my friends, now that I've done Bohemian Rhapsody, I was thinking...

Anyone think they could do a song by Yes -- one of the old ones, you know? The ones that have lyrics that barely make any sense at all, like "I've Seen All Good People" or "Tempus Fugit" (hehe!) -- I'll even take "Owner of a Lonely Heart"

You'd totally get my eternal gratitude!! ...and a choice spot on my Christmas card list, too! wink

Was at the store today when I heard a song come on and knew I'd have to post it here...

"Play That Funky Music, White Boy"

Can't think how to do it, but that'd be awesome.

Also... show tunes. Gilburt & Sullivan (Major General?), Broadway, whatever.
