Bad Hombres, Nasty Women: The Presidential Debate in Song
|
Version 0 of 1. Everything could be a song. But most things aren’t. Rectifying this regrettable state of affairs has become our life’s work: songifying everything in the universe. We’re making progress, but as a presidential candidate might say, we still have work to do. In fact, our headway is being tragically outpaced by the rate the universe is expanding. One thing we’ve learned is that the hidden songs of the cosmos are full of surprises. When you take an unintentional singer and unveil the beautiful melody inside his or her spoken words, you never know what you’ll find. An uplifting, peppy ditty? An inspiring ballad? Occasionally you get really lucky and it’s a tasty Viennese waltz. But we can’t say we were shocked that songifying the final debate between Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump revealed a terrifying space opera about bad hombres and nasty women. So terrifying, in fact, that it ripped open a wormhole to another dimension, and pulled an unsuspecting Weird Al Yankovic in from his home in a parallel universe to moderate the whole thing. Sorry about that, Weird Al. You deserve better than this. Don’t we all? |
