Headline of the farking year. Subby, out yourself and earn a lifetime stay in my favorites.

That song had no infectious groove, and didn't give me dancing fever, but it was sickeningly bad.
Well, all 20 seconds that I listened to. Let me know if it gets better.

M-O-O-N. That spells good headline.

Swine Flu

We discounted them...
And we called them pigs.
We treated them like crap-
Made 'em live in mud-digs...
We thought we were better-
Turns out they're the bigwigs!

Swine Flu...
It's coming for me and coming for you!
Swine Flu...
Panic is about all we can do...
A farking pandemic-we're all screwed!
Swine Flu... ha ha ha!


Now they seek vengeance!
We seek insight...
Why do they do this?
It just doesn't seem right!
We thought they were harmless...
Now we feel their bite!

Swine Flu...
We needta learn a lesson-get a clue...
Swine Flu...
What further actions may be pursued?
How the fark are pigs gonna be sued?
Swine Flu... ha ha ha!

Needed more tempo editing and volume modulation in instrument usage to make it palpable. Right now it is too rigid and robotic.

I can see a listenable bit of music there, it just needs fine tuning to make it work as a composition.

 
tbrake 2009-04-30 06:54:01 AM  
there's supposed to be 3 snorts after the chorus, "Swine Flu... ha ha ha!". i had them in my song as angle bracketed... i guess that didnt work.

Dammit, subby, If I could give a +1 for that headline, I would.

So do we call this new flu Captain Trotters?

Watch out for sort-of-hot-but-really-scary girls you meet while trying to get out of the city, Larry!

If you play with matches you will wet the bed.
/+1 to subby for reference

Much better is the Vicodin song.

Brilliant headline. With all this swine flu craziness going on I half expect to hear that song on the radio.

 
rickycal78 2009-04-30 08:26:50 AM  
M-o-o-n. That spells new keyboard.
You owe me subby.

Bravo, subby, bravo!

Okay... Captain Trotters FTW. Let's see how quickly we can get the entire country calling it that.

Is there a reason you'd call it that rather than, say, Captain Trips?

Swine = pigs

pigs feet = trotters

 
Gamer Grrrl [TotalFark] 2009-04-30 09:41:54 AM  
Yeah, but I heard the writer of "Baby, Can You Dig Your Man?" ain't no nice guy.

I was not aware of this.

Great headline +1! I would piss this headline if I could. Do you believe that happy crappy?

Nothing in that song about spiderpig.

All joking aside, if I hear what sounds like some dude in boots walkin down the street, I'm stayin the fark in the house.

 
BunkoSquad 2009-04-30 11:08:42 AM  
I'm clawing my way through the terrifying graveyard that was the Lincoln Tunnel right now, so I'm really getting a kick out of these replies.

/what did I just step in?

 
Marla Singer's Laundry [TotalFark] 2009-04-30 11:36:25 AM  
My sister and I tried to construct a melody to "Baby Can you Dig Your Man" to no avail.

 
jimhill 2009-04-30 11:43:48 AM  
Pretty good headline, subby. Of course, if you want to see some really good writing, you ought to take a spin through the personal journal of the Amazing Ogunquit Fat Boy and Possible Homasexshul.

 
tomo12144 [TotalFark] 2009-04-30 11:45:55 AM  
I so rarely get the literary references in Fark headlines. Today is a special day...thanks Subby.

Marla Singer's Laundry: My sister and I tried to construct a melody to "Baby Can you Dig Your Man" to no avail.

I never could figure out how that song was supposed to sound. The version on the miniseries didn't sound like any in my imagination.

 
jht [TotalFark] 2009-04-30 12:08:22 PM  
Best reference yet. Unfortunately, I'm the only person in my entire extended family who's read The Stand, so I can't make any good Captain Trips jokes most days. Takes all the fun out of it.

/not a righteous man

 
myownprison69 2009-04-30 12:08:31 PM  
Now the question is whether I go to Boulder or Vegas....

/damn the decisions

 
Kodiak Attack 2009-04-30 12:27:40 PM  
Ah, the soothing sounds of General MIDI. Almost as pleasant as the dulcet tones of the Trashcan Man.

/MY LIFE FOR YOU!

 
JamMasterJamie 2009-04-30 12:29:18 PM  
I am amused greatly by this headline. Coincidentally, I began my yearly read of the Stand just two weeks ago, so I've been greatly amused by the news as well. Maybe 'amused' is too strong a word, but you know what I mean.

/thanks to subby for the headline full of win

I used to be indecisive. Now I'm not so sure.

I think it was playing on one of the car radios at one point ...

Brilliant headline, Smits.

Heading to Vegas in a week ... hope to see the Walking Dude there ...

 
EchoMike [TotalFark] 2009-04-30 01:37:00 PM  
Which is still not as catchy as "(Baby Can I) Smell Yo Dick" (new window)
