Subject: Artistry Round 111 (Devo) Enter by 1/30/12
Written By: Below Average Dave on 01/13/12 at 4:00 am
Beautiful World
Whip It
Secret Agent Man
What We Do
Jocko Homo
That's Good
Freedom of Choice
Time Out for Fun
This should be interesting cause honestly, I didn't realize Devo had been nominated (and they must have cause I wouldn't have chosen a secret round whom I've only heard one song by (Whip It) At any rate, the WMP has been funny lately, we went with a band that peaked in the 70s (Kool and the Gang) then the 60s (Simon & Garfunkel) and now we jump to the 80s . . . so have fun, this round should be a doozie.

Yep, they were nominated, they're on my list between Creedence Clearwater Revival and Billy Idol. Anyway, this is gonna be tough to pick a song, mainly because there's so many to choose from. Also, it's not like I can do what I usually do and not do the ones that have been done a lot, because, like, 90% of the Devo parodies are of Whip It. Huh.

If I didn't already do a "Whip It" parody for the Ages of Amiright I would have done a "Jocko Homo" parody because it's part of the Weird Al Polka Parody Project.... But I think I'll take the easy way out. I haven't actually had to write anything for Artistry in at least 4 rounds! Awesome!!!

Hey we've all done that, its nice to have a parody handy for some of the artists to get a break when you need it (and in some cases its just hard to beat a great parody that's already in your author database)

I have chosen to parody "Girl U Want", which I found out is the theme to a Let's Play series I watch. I haven't officially chosen a topic, but I'm leaning towards something about fonts. You know, Gothic, Comic Sans, all that bollocks. Stay tuned...

Yes, please. Some five years after the canonical comic strip, this is still needed. Even Taiwan (as recently as last month) is still down with this. The designer of Comic Sans has yet to taste the curb. :)

I've personally never had an issue with Comic Sans, mainly because to me font type is not something worth caring about, but I can't argue with you, your avatar is Derpy Hooves pretending to be Slim Pickens from Dr. Strangelove, my argument is invalid ;). "Stupid Font" it is, then!

Yee-haw :)
To give you a few more options: amongst typographers and graphic design folks, Papyrus is also fair game for mockery; this blog is about four years old and still going strong.

I always make it a point to listen to the song I wish to parody before parodying it. I even download the song so that I can sing along with it to make sure the pacing right. And I've kept all of the songs so that a) I can listen to them again for no reason, and b) put them all into a giant mashup that I shall share with all of you once Artistry is completed.

Why thank you! It has to be split into four parts because of the way I'm structuring it (it's like a parade of every song I've parodied for Artistry...all 140 rounds of 'em) and it may sound weird in parts because I'm too lazy to get instrumental/acapella versions of the tracks, but I'm aiming for minimal clashing of sounds, and the madness suits the inherent madness of my aim to be in every round of this insane contest, so yeah.

Apparently you weren't the only one who has no problem with Comic Sans. Now appearing in defense of the font that everyone (else) loves to hate:
