As you know, it's tradition (well, ok, we've done it once so it's now tradition) for us to do an overnight Video, and someone sings a nano parody song.
I had a song in mind, but due to sickness, I can't sing all the parts. :( And I don't have time to get it done. So if any of you have any ideas for a song I could sing, or a parody, that'd be great.
Mind you, I'll probably only picks songs I know, or can sing, but if anyone has any ideas, I'm all ears. :D
(Oh, and I can't sing "Shook me all night long... too high :D)
And no, friday is not that high at all. I would just need to get Debs to do it... and the sad thing would be trying to do a video of that.
My problem is are standards. And no, I don't mean the song isn't worthy enough, it's just that there are MANY parodies of it, and I would want to make it equally as good as those parodies, you know? :) And I've seen so many parodies, with really good videos, that I'd be all... stressed I couldn't do one just as good because of time limitations.
Gary Jules - Mad World? (Not really that upbeat, I know)
Phantom of the Opera - Phantom of the Opera?
Bruno Mars - Billionaire? (get Ren to do the rap-part, he's awesome at it)
Foo Fighters - Learn to Fly?
And in general, I don't think you can go wrong with Disney-classics. Like "I can go the distance" from Hercules, or "A Whole New World" from Aladdin or whatever.
Parody Song for Overnight Video?
Hey All,
As you know, it's tradition (well, ok, we've done it once so it's now tradition) for us to do an overnight Video, and someone sings a nano parody song.

Re: Parody Song for Overnight Video?
I suggested "Stayin' Awake" ("Stayin' Alive") but Errol says he can't do the falsetto while his throat is sore.
I think may have refused on principle, too.
le sigh.
Re: Parody Song for Overnight Video?
Sweet Novel of Mine? (Parody of Sweet Child of Mine) xD
Re: Parody Song for Overnight Video?
I still want R Black's "Friday Friday Friday" ... as "nano nano nano" ... think it's a natural that would almsot write itself.
just saying.
Also - b/c of the earworm potential, it just screams for parody treatment.
:)
Re: Parody Song for Overnight Video?
I'm with Red on this one, with the additional request that it be recorded so I can see it!
Re: Parody Song for Overnight Video?
Whichever song Errol chooses is going to turn up on the overnighter vid - like the Mulan parody last year. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCvJWJGdCII
Re: Parody Song for Overnight Video?
We are the champions. Or Don't stop me now.
Re: Parody Song for Overnight Video?

Re: Parody Song for Overnight Video?

Re: Parody Song for Overnight Video?
I'd love to help, but I don't think I can sing very well :P
Re: Parody Song for Overnight Video?
You guys are suggesting songs too high for me to sing. *sigh*
Of course... *I* don't have to sing them. If anyone wants to submit a song, I'm all for it... :D
Re: Parody Song for Overnight Video?
ok ...
Swing lo, sweet chariot
that's the sound of the men, working on the chain gang
mine eyes have seen the coming ...
shaker melody

:D
Re: Parody Song for Overnight Video?
Heh!
And no, friday is not that high at all. I would just need to get Debs to do it... and the sad thing would be trying to do a video of that.

*sigh* I'm a freak, I know. :D
