Thing a Week 3 – W’s Duty
For a long time I have been obsessed with the word “duty” which sounds to me a lot like the word “doody” (as in, you know, poo). It’s gotten really bad, so that ever time someone talks about their solemn duty, or how so-and-so has fallen down on their duty, it makes me giggle. So this week’s thing is, well, I guess it’s GWB talking about taking a crap. You will probably find this funny if you have the mind of an 8-year-old boy.
And also, in a strange coincidence, I saw a link today on Waxy and Gawker to an even better example of what can be done with all the GWB audio that’s available from The Bots. This is sort of amazing actually. What I did took me forever and it’s still pretty rough around the edges. And so I must give the maddest props ever to the geniuses who so skillfully manipulated tiny slices of audio to make our president sing COVERS OF SONGS in the most uncanny, creepy way. You must listen:

I've had that Imagine/Walk on the Wild Side for a while - pure genius. Downloading yours now.

Say it enough times and it ends up funny no matter how I try to resist.
I like it; along the same lines as 'Bacteria' and almost as catchy (probably more catchy at the end... it's set on infinite loop in my head right now).
I heard the Dubya version of 'Sunday Bloody Sunday' a while ago, but I think I'll have to give the rest of the songs a listen now.

Wow, that is so sweet (& funny)!
BTW, you really need to make a logo for Thing a Week, it bothers me that I have no art for it in iTunes.

Invader Zim, Volume 2, Disc 3, episode 19A (Gir goes crazy and stuff), 3 minutes, 6 seconds in, they make the same joke.
And now, sadly, so do I. Every time I have heard the word duty in the past two years or so, I giggle and repeat it in the Gir voice.
Also, I love your music. It has been on repeat for the two days since I first realized you exist.

Wax audio does a better version (and the original one) of "Imagine"

I don't know if it is supposed to be funny or tragic....

Hey, the bots is pretty cool. A fun and similar thing is using an audio dictionary to sing songs karaoke style, a.k.a. dictionaraoke.org.

Woohoo! I've had the exact same issue with the word "duty" for a while now. I'm just glad it's not just me....and Peter Griffin.
