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!

Devolved Bar

By -

I'm going to break with the Friday afternoon tradition of trying to find a fashionable-looking bar image and instead offer up some Devo. This is, as any Sloper worth his salt knows, a favorite band of mine, and I've been listening to them all day. Listen to it in the background, or if you want, watch the video as well. You'll be amazed what they were able to do 25  years ago. Have a good weekend.
