Hi, everyone. I got a suggestion that you all might appreciate these, so I'm gonna post them.
I decided to challenge myself earlier this year with a unconventional comedy project. Five days a week for about four months straight I rewrote/re-imagined a different TV theme song from scratch every day. I burned out at #69.
If I didn't know anything about the show, I just read the Wikipedia page and did my best to make something funny.
If I did know the show/theme, I did my best to just forget what the real theme actually was and intentionally messed up details from the show. If there was no theme, I just made one anyway.
When the song was done, I fit it to the real opening footage which produced some pretty fun/surreal results. I never watched any of the intros until the song was done, however, so the combination was always a surprise.
Many random people on YouTube have found my videos by mistake, but they all have the HBO intro regardless of what the network actually is (just a consistency thing I thought was funny/made it obvious that something was amiss). Gawker suddenly featured my project this week and it has started spreading from there (http://internet.gawker.com/i-cant-stop-watching-these-bizarro-world-tv-show-openin-1678045055). I've since done three more themes (Seinfeld/Too Many Cooks/Oz).
Anyhow, I hope you enjoy them. All the lyrics are in the YouTube descriptions.
