Subject: The Devil Glitch--who wants to join in a group parody?
Written By: agrimorfee on 05/10/07 at 5:14 pm
So anyway, a topic got started on the Amiright News & Information thread about Superlong Pop Songs
(complete thread here: http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php?topic=26637.0)
...and I discovered that the world's longest pop song, as verified by Guiness, is a piece entitled "The Devil Glitch" by one Chris Butler.
Sample and lyrics here: http://www.futurefossilmusic.com/devil.htm
In the thread, I jokingly expected some of our veterans, Johnny D, Spaff, Red Ant, or Kristof (etc.) to produce a parody of the piece. Red Ant commented that he wasn't sure that he would want to even begin to listen to a 69-minute piece, let alone write a parody of it.
I'm not sure. Here I leave this open to the Roomful Of Monkeys. Who wants to play along? We can number each of the successive "verses" (as spaced on Chris Butler's web site), and each volunteer can take as many as they would like--for example, Spaff could say "I will take verse #22, #23, #24" and so on. All finished lines, I suppose, could be sent to this thread for organization by myself, or some other sucker, to be able to submit the whole shabang to Amiright.
Now Chucky is aware about the proposal (but doesn't know I have seriously proposed it here), and he wasn't too sure if the software would allow the length as one song---perhaps it needs to be submitted vis a vis "Part 1" and "Part 2" and so forth.
Anyway, I open the floor to you nutcases: who wants to join in on this? Any ideas on how to unify this monster into something semi-cohesive with a single topic? Perhaps the topic could be the Amiright parody-writing experience itself?

Ok, I admit it. I saw your post on the other thread, and I actually thought about it. :)
I was thinking about a good generic replacement of the "Sometimes you can fix something by just..." refrain that would allow for a lot of finishing lines. The two I thought of so far:
"Sometimes you can hex someone by just..."
"Sometimes you can write something about..."
Any other ideas?

I like the ultimate meta-parody idea: it would be somewhat cohesive and probably one of the incredibly few well-known enough topics that could sustain 500 verses.
I would like to find TOS in its full length, if not to hear it just once.
Most verses go like these two:
"sometimes you can fix something by just being polite
trust in reason and persuasion
sometimes you can fix something by just leaving it alone
let it stew in isolation"
So, a
"sometimes you can fix something" - {6-7 syllables here, masculine terminal syllable}
{8-9 syllables here, feminine terminal "rhyme"}
format seems to be the way most of this song was written. I hate counting syllables, but w/o hearing TOS it's the best I've got.
I'm just thinking out loud here, not suggesting anything concrete for this potential project of a lifetime.
What would be the coolest thing is getting every active author, even those w/o messageboard accounts, to contribute at least two verses. :)

I'm in but only if someone can provide me with a copy of the OS or a link to a copy so that I can hear it, I need to hear it, although honestly---69 minutes for a song is insane, but talk about a parody project that the big wigs should be part of. . .

Ok, I admit it. I saw your post on the other thread, and I actually thought about it. :)
I was thinking about a good generic replacement of the "Sometimes you can fix something by just..." refrain that would allow for a lot of finishing lines. The two I thought of so far:
"Sometimes you can hex someone by just..."
"Sometimes you can write something about..."
Any other ideas?
"Sometimes you can parody a/the/an..."

Heh heh. I had another idea for this OS, called "Not Avril's Bitch", about how we list 500 rejected potential title subs for "Complicated"
"Sometimes you can parody a very overdone song
Like Avril Lavigne's 'Complicated'
Sometimes you can parody it but it comes out wrong
Like those 20+ 'Constipated's
Sometimes you think better of doing something done before
'cause that idea's 'Duplicated'
At times you think that Avril is such a freakin' bore
And that we're oversaturated
Hmmm, needs work.... though Avril hasn't been in the spotlight for years, it would be the ultimate Arvil diss... and it would probably rhyme quite well...

It does seem a very limited topic, though...
Sometimes you might feel a burning desire
To see her "incinerated"
Sometimes you wish to see Lavigne locked up
To be incarcerated
Sometimes you see so many Avril parodies
Feel you've been inundated
Sometimes you search the web for pix
Of Avril being fellated
...OK, some physiological inconsistency towards the end, but WTF.

Here in this thread what I have learned so far:
*Dave will only do parodies of songs he can hear all the way through. ;D
*A post can only accept up to 30000 characters (please don't abuse this fact!).
I really like the idea of individuals doing lines (snort, haha) about writing parodies. They could refer to their own parodies that they have done
"sometimes you can parody the band Pink Floyd
Because the fans do need education"
Is this the way we should do it? "Sometimes you can parody..." ???
Each person should perhaps select which verses they want, and also mention which music artist they will mention...it wouldn't hurt to have an artist or two be repeated (like The Beatles), as long as they aren't used in A LOT of them.

Sometimes when I'm watering I have Kinks in the hose
It's a Sunny afternoon
I'm a little behind in my linking and other skills, but I do have a parody Sunday afternoon.

A Wizard Of Oz thang, Wildcard? :o I'm not sure if we can get folks interested to do it that way all the way through. But let's consider that section yours, 8)...now let's see if I can get my collective s*** together and organize more of this. :-\\

Actually I'm still hot on the Band idea; Dust, Wind, Kansas. If we start something for this section then we can start making the sometimes lines flow. 2-4 can be sectioned off as well.

Sorry folks, I've gotten some other things on my plate besides Devil Glitch. It seems I might have to be the one to organize this, which is what I was afraid of (...if anyone wants to step up, do volunteer!). I haven't even finished numerating the verses on this thread, which is a lot more work than I thought it would be due to the character limitations. I promise that after I pop up two new parodies on amiright (which is still out of commission as of this writing) I will work on it again.
If anyone still wants to grab a verse, go right ahead...please include the number of the verse(s) for each one you finish.

Well I'm here let me know if I can help in some way. Don't worry about the numbers we need ideas so we can make the puzzle pieces.

Everyone, I have finished numerating all of the couplets/stanzas. I think what I will do over the weekend is to lay out a plan for an Official Thread on how to complete this Godzilla so everyone and anyone can waltz in and contribute as they please. I think I will opt for people to choose their own verse(s) by number, or contribute a "Sometimes" verse freely at any point.
I plan for everyone to get credited for each line contributed as well.
If this ever comes out to a full completion, it will be quite an undertaking, so I don't expect a due date on this at all.
Come on, don't be scared! Contribute to The Devil Glitch Parody today!
