So wrong

January 28, 2006

I may have mentioned my obsession with bad music. Unlistenable covers. Novelty acts. Chickens clucking Christmas carols? Yodeling?

Well, this takes the cake. Turn the sound up, kiddies and click here.

It’s a Disney, pop-teen Devo cover band.

Disney has done a lot of lousy things to the world over the years. They take a good thing, like Bambi. And they turn it into Bambi II. Not only do I have to explain over and over again to my deer hunting sons that Bambi is not a doe. I have to try to explain how his father turned into Jean Luc Piccard.

And the commercials keep announcing that this DVD is only going to be available for 75 days. Like that’s not a warning to the world to stay out of the video department for 2 1/2 months.

But Devo 2.0? A pre-pubescent girl, singing “Whip It” is wrong, wrong, wrong. But to sing it in a video where they try to convince me that it’s about heavy cream and an electric hand mixer? We have slipped into an alternate dimension and I can’t look away.

At least not until there’s a Disney pop-teen cover band of The Stones singing “Brown Sugar” while making cookies.

    Yes, but I CAN’T MAKE IT LOAD. Maybe I shouldn’t use firefox?

      It won’t load for me either this morning. How frustrating.

      Perhaps it self-distructed for the good of society.

      Or it could come back later in the day.

    Hey.

    And just WHO got a livejournal and didn’t tell me about it and Corrina didn’t either and I had to hear about it from JENNY?!?!??!

      Sorry!

      It took forever for me to figure out what I was supposed to be writing.

      It’s taking even longer to wrap my head around the idea that I should encourage people to read it. My career will take off like wildfire with marketing skills like this.

      And it’s even more embarassing to face the people I haven’t told about selling my book. How do you drop that into a conversation, 6 months after the fact without sounding like a jerk?

    Disney has done a lot of lousy things but I think this takes the cake. What’s next? The No Sex Before Marriage Pistols singing Holidays in the Sun?
