Welcome to the Friday August 17th to Friday August 24th (publishing date) round of the One Week Notice challenge. My name is Matthias, I'll be your host.

The core of One Week Notice is this: We all write parodies of the same original song - and then we post them on the same day! The song chosen ideally should be one that has not been already parodied on Amiright, and should also be of reasonable difficulty and length (Matthias is hosting a separate thread for general discussion about that part, see the messageboard and feel free to join in - or even better - sign up to host a round yourself!)

http://www.inthe00s.com/index.php?topic=56105.0

As things have evolved we're working on a From Friday To Friday basis. The host picks an original song and posts about it in a new messageboard thread on the first friday (or after the Thursday update on Amiright's front page if that's more convenient) and those who want to participate have one week to create a parody of it. All those parodies of the same song are then submitted to go on the next week's Friday's publishing date on Amiright (barring acts of God/Site Mods).

This challenge is not a contest judging for quality. No points are awarded. Constructive criticism is encouraged, but we have no strict rule or requirement for everyone to even read each parody and/or leave comments. Obviously that's an important part of the whole thing, but you won't get bashed if life gets in your way. The whole thing is done in the spirit of flexing our parody writing "muscles" and to grow back the spirit of camaraderie within the Amiright community. The host of a round must provide a link to the original song's lyrics (or post them in his/her host post, like I'm doing here below), a link to a YouTube video of the song (or an equivalent thereof) and information about what year the song was first released (to allow for the submission form on Amiright).

With all that said, here's the brand new One Week Notice challenge--


- Sadly, Summertime is coming to an end but there's still time to squeak in one more summertime song. This one is by the artist Childish Gambino who is infamous for putting out the recently politically charged rap song "This Is America" and is the rap name given to Donald Glover who I loved in the television sitcom "Community". Have fun with this smooth as silk R&B song.


Song Title: "Feels Like Summer"
Artist: Childish Gambino
Year: 2018


Youtube Recording: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ieL7BHjiyd8


You can feel it in the streets
On a day like this, the heat
It feel like summer
I feel like summer
I feel like summer
You can feel it in the streets
On a day like this, the heat
I feel like summer
She feel like summer
This feel like summer
I feel like summer

Seven billion souls that move around the sun
Rolling faster, faster and not a chance to slow down
Slow down
Men who made machines that want what they decide
They're just tryna tell the children please slow down
Slow down

I know
Oh, I know you know that pain
I'm hopin' that this world will change
But it just seems the same
(It is not the same)

You can feel it in the streets
On a day like this, the heat
It feels like summer
I feel like summer
I feel like summer
I feel like summer
I feel like summer

Every day gets hotter than the one before
Running out of water, it's about to go down
Go down
Air that kill the bees that we depend upon
Birds were made for singing
Waking up to no sound
No sound

I know
Oh, I know you know my pain
I'm hopin' that this world will change
But it just seems the same
I know
Oh, I hope we change

I'm hoping that this world will change
But it just seems the same
I know
But it just seems the same
I'm hoping that this world will change
But it just seems the same
I know
Oh, I hope we change

I kinda want to do "Can't Stand Runners" to pick on Peter!

"Medieval Dungeon" coming next week!
Kind of a dark switcheroo on the summer feeling of the original song.
And the word "dungeon" fits surprisingly well over "summer".

We get swill when time to eat
Once a year a treat like beets
I'm in a dungeon
We're in a dungeon
Etc...

The lyrics are a bit different in the recording than the lyric sheet has them. I believe that I fixed them... Will take one more listen.

Nothing big, if at all. I felt that some parts were open to interpretation about if there should be background repeats in parenthesises or not, some because they're almost totally behind the main line, some because they're sung very low (or both). Like I said, nothing big. I gave my parody tops one extra listen/singover because of it when I started to feel done.

Once again, I forgot to print this out at work and didn't realize this until last night at home, when it would have been the best time to write. Don't be surprised if I don't get this in tomorrow. :-[ :-[
