Reply To: JoCo Day 2014
Curses, I earwormed myself with ‘JoCo Day is Wunnerful’!
Here’s how it would go, if we used the idea I mentioned above (not incorporating @BrettGlass’s idea, because I wrote this while on a train and hadn’t seen that yet. But feel free to suggest any kind of change or alternative that could incorporate that and/or other ideas) :
Things you would do:
Option a) If you are able to meet another JoCo fan in real life, record a video of both of you together singing, ‘JoCo Day is wunnerful, wunnerful with you, JoCo Day,’ possibly pointing or lookng at each other during the ‘wunnerful with you’ part. If you can meet several fans all at once, film such a video with everyone, and also separate ones with each pair, if possible, because the more footage we have available, the easier it is to edit.
Option b) If you can’t do that, but can record video, record a video of yourself singing that. Also send a picture of yourself with another fan, or with JoCo.
Whether or not you can do those things, send a picture of yourself with another JoCo fan, and/or with JoCo himself. If you’ve never met JoCo or another JoCo fan in your life, or you did but don’t have pictures of it get creative… maybe you could film yourself typing the words into the forum or onto a fan’s facebook or Twitter.
If you want to be heard, send audio of yourself singing the entire verse (or just say that we can use the sound from the video) and any instrumentals you feel like recording. I imagine the sound from all of us would be mixed independently from the video, so if you want to do a video but don’t want your singing to be heard, or vice versa, that’s fine.
The tune, for those who don’t know it, comes from Christmastime is Wunnerful. Crazily enough the closest I can find to a live performance is the ukulele melee doing ‘JoCo Cruise is Wunnerful‘. I guess he doesn’t do this one live much. Ask anyone in that video (e.g. @Colleenky, @BrettGlass) for ukulele chords if you want to contribute a uke track. 😀
What the video would look like:
There are three ways each ‘JoCo Day is wunnerful, wunnerful with you, JoCo Day.’ part can go:
- We use a video from option a above, for the whole line.
- For ‘JoCo Day is wunnerful’ we show that part of a video of a solo fan from option b above. For the ‘wunnerful with you’ part, we show the still picture of that person with another fan. For the ‘JoCo Day’ part we show solo video of that other fan, if available.
- In the case where neither fan can shoot a video, we just show a photo of two fans together.
The second ‘JoCo Day is wunnerful’ in each verse would ideally feature one of the fans from the last one, and one new fan, so we have the fans connected like dominoes. For the final, ‘wunnerful, wunnerful with you’ of each verse, we show a picture of a fan (the fan who was introduced in the last line) with JoCo. In the instrumental bit we transition to a picture of another fan with JoCo, and then we go to that fan singing ‘JoCo Day is wunnerful’ and continue as above.
