A Nostalgic Look at Happier Times

By -

I am at my most creative and content when things are going my way. Because of that, late 2008 and early 2009 were met with an outpouring of writing and videos from yours truly, including the gem below, which I had almost forgotten about. How I miss those days when the only happy people on the planet were me and my fellow Slopers. May God see that we can enjoy such a world again.

If you haven't seen it, watch the video. You will be overcome with wistful yearnings.

 

Relatively Funny Parody

By -

Here's the video – the lyrics are beneath:

I'm not young anymore.
And old age is a bore.
I just want some cash fast.
So I'll leech off my past!

We're bringing all the old shit back,
'Cos all the new stuff sounds like crap.
Now buy a vinyl and 8-track,
And join me for a retro fap…

And if the haters do dispute
claiming that we're selling out.
We'll just say it's one big tribute
While our culture…

GETS WORSE!
History repeats!
MUCH WORSE!
Reality retreats
THAT WORSE!
Nothing's getting better!
IT'S WORSE!
So I'll be a childhood peddler!

IT'S WORSE making money off nostallllgiaaaaaaa,
MUCH WORSE, We're clearly all out of ideeeeeeeeeaaaaaas.

Support some tired hasbeens!
Play the same games on new machines!
Relive great films that you've seen!
Like Schindler's List, NOW IN 3D!

Go back to when you were less surly,
Buy this memorabilia
There's no shame in being thirty
And still staying pika-pikaaaaaaa

All this junk is really timeless
Pleasing all our demographs!
From mid to quarter life crisis
Meanwhile our culture…

GETS WORSE! 
Fanboys will unite!
MUCH WORSE!
Unless you're Edgar Wright!
THAT WORSE!
The furries are ecstatic.
IT'S WORSE!
IT'S THERMODYNAMICS! 

WE'RE WORSE!
The hipsters put us there!
MUCH WORSE!
Inside a postmodern nightmare.
THAT WORSE!
We're so desperate for new art…
IT'S WORSE
We put this fruitcake on the charts!

IT'S WORSE i'll put myself into deeeeeebbbbbbt,
MUCH WORSE Buying a car city caaaaaaarpeeeeeeet.
IT'S WORSE Quality new work gets snuuuuuuuubbbbbed,
MUCH WORSE. No one wants to grow the fuck uuuuuuuuuuup!
