Best of FIWK
Aaron: "Let me tell you, Gretzky was no Gandhi."
MP: "I'd like to swim in Scrooge McZuckerberg's silo of money."
Royce: "Im like the george dubya of fiwk!"
Aaron: "If you could hear me, you would hear my voice getting all high like a teenage girl meeting Justin Timberlake"
Scott: "I could also write 'How to Turn 5 Sentences into 1: Thoughts on the Ellipsis'"
Aaron: "Wait, so this is your second non-consecutive year living in Paris? Does that make you the Grover Cleveland of Americans residing in Paris?

Also like Jay-Z, I like aggression in my rap music. And the over-singing and over-use of autotune is freaking mind-numbing these days. As seprate events, I was recently bemoaning autotune while liking this Jay-Z song - I'm tickled that the two are related.
ReplyDeleteThe little riff in this song is super catchy too
I think that autotune might be making a full circle though... T-Pain, a notorious autotune abuser, recently appeared on a Lonely Island song alongside Andy Samberg. Poking fun at himself, his style?
Then of course there is the popular radio song by T-Pain featuring Lil Wayne (a pioneer of autotune), Can't Believe It.
ReplyDeleteWatching the video, you get the idea that the song and autotune is a parody of itself... especially when you get to Lil Wayne's section and his nonsensical speaking which is completely garbled by over-autotune. That has to be intentional parody, right?
Just saw this video, and immediately thought of your post Royce - thought you'd enjoy it! :)
ReplyDeleteHa very nice Scott. I never get tired of the cats in boxes
ReplyDeleteJimmy Fallon did this autotune parody in his Emmys presentation last night... looks like autotune is on its deathbed
hahahah - didn't see that last night; good sketch - always fun to see celebrities not being able to control their laughter (e.g. Steve Carell in your video)
